I don't know about recalls or TSB's for 95. But if it is not covered by warranty I would put in there new rivets or nuts and bolts in place right away, from the safety standpoint.

Do you think I should try to get a hold of ford and Let them know The frames are loosing up and the rivets are a mafacture defect?

 

I remember my friend complaining about his F-150's frame popping and it needed rivits replaced.

Ford later came up with a couple "service tips" relating to "popping or creaking noise" back in 1Q97 which had something to do with replacing the rivits in the frame with bolts.

Tight-fitting grade 8 shoulder-bolts in combination with crazy-glue and taper-pin arrangements work well in preventing shifting of framerails.
