Some nice changes. I also wish I had the leather wheel on my XLT.
So where are the rear seat headrests?
Oops! Dallas just scored again! Bye.

Black 2000 SC short-box XLT. 4.2V-6, 5-speed, 3.55 limited-slip. CD, remote entry, factory side steps, FORD box liner.
My third F-series: '73 F-100 Custom 240-cube 3-speed, '98 F-150 XL-SC 4.2 5-speed, and '00 F-150 XLT-SC 4.2 5-speed. GREAT trucks!

It looks like I bought mine a year to soon 20 more horses and the leather wrapped steering wheel are the 2 things I'm missing on my truck that I wish I had.
