Mark III was just a conversion/package to the F150. They added features like wood trim, body trim, power options, and custom seats. Much like Regency.

Mark III is a company out of Ocala, FL. They were one of the big dawgs in the conversion van industry back in the 80s/mid 90s. They did a lot of F-150 conversions, too. My 95 XLT is one of them. I heard they fell on hard times and closed down in the late 90s. When I drove past their old location over the last few years, it has been sitting idle/empty. Last time I went by I think I recall seeing some work on ambulance/paramedic type vehicles. Rumor has it that they are coming back in some form.
As for the conversion on my XLT - real wood trim (cherry?) on the doors and dash, leather upholstery, power slider rear window, overhead wood trimmed console w/ dimmable ribbon lights and adjustable mini spots, security system, custom wheels, color matched fender flares and running boards, color matched bug deflector.

I'm not sure what wood they used I re stained mine when I bought it I paid 2 grand for the truck with anew engine and a trans with 80,000 miles on it and new paint I think I got a pretty good deal. These mark IIIs definitely turn some heads there kinda unique
