So are the 97 F150 lariat regular cabs rare? If so how do you know?

 

Built from 1997 -1999

I've been here eight years and I can count members who had them on one hand.

I've personally seen four, including mine and I'm always keep an outlook for them.

 

Just remember that rare and valuable are frequently very different.

 

i have only seen the ext. cab so do you know how many were made reg. cab? Or is it that we dont see them?

 

A friend of mine had one. She had a reg cab step side lariat. Black with the silver bottom. Nice truck it had head light covers and a nice toneau cover.

 

I've only seen one in my life. It was a long bed 2wd, same colors as Raoul's. If I could find one with the 5.4 and regular cab, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

 

Never seen one in real life that I can recall. Have only seen Raouls and yours, thats it.

I would love to have one too.

 

I know of 2 around here, both green and silver 4X4 flaresides.

What I want to know is why is my 99 XLT 5.4 4X2 Flareside have a Lightning vin and recalls from Ford, IE. cruz and tie rods, refer to me as Dear Lightning owner. If it is, where the hell is my SC. Bought my truck used, but I do know it was a special order.

Sled...

 

That shouldn't be possible. I'd like to run your VIN through OASIS just to see myself, to satisfy my curiosity. Shoot me an E-mail or PM if you want.

 

You got mail.

 

The VIN you sent comes up as a regular ol' F150, regular cab/flare side with a 5.4 2V and a 4R70W.

Oh, and get your cruise recall done before your truck catches fire.

 

Someone else told me it was a L vin dont know what in the vin says that. Like I said stuff I get from Ford says L. Dont know why.

As for the cruise, shes got 180K on it now, if it burns it burns. Dont park it in a garage.


Sled...

 

I hope you don't plan on getting any money from the insurance than. .

 

There is one around my town. Green/Gold regular cab styleside 4x2. It's a '99. Good lookin' truck.

 

Go ahead and get it done, it is the best deal going right now. They give you a free switch and your truck won't burn because of the bad one.
