the '97 and newer are 5X7 in the doors, not 6X8...or at least my '97 was that way and so is my '99 SD. The '93 I had was 6.5 in the doors and 6X8 in the rear. I would recomend Boston Acustics speakers for the doors and JL audio subs(IMHO).

No, 97 and up use 6x8 but a 5x7 will fit in the hole.
Although when I tried to put a 5x7 in mine it fit but with a very small gap on the sides.

Don't limit yourself to just 5x7/6x8 speakers...the selection of speakers in this size isn't exactly the greatest! I just upgraded the entire sound system in my truck and I decided that I wanted to go with 6.5 inch Infinity Kappas. I used some speaker adapter plates that allow you to mount a 5.25 or a 6.5 inch speaker in a 5x7/6x8 opening. They're basically a piece of plastic in the shape of a 5x7/6x8 speaker with a cutout for a 5.25 inch speaker (if you're using 6.5 inch speakers, you have to do a little trimming) and they work really well. I found these at http://www.autotoys.com if you're interested in them.

My 89 has 6" up front. And no-speakers in the rear. from 1987-1991, Ford DID NOT put rear speakers in the f-series. They did in the bronco. My 93 has 6.5" up front and the usual 6x8's in the rear
