Ive got a 2002 F150 supercrew four door lariat with 183,000 miles and the 4.6 V8 is perfect. Came new with the supreme wheels chrome. Just installed new 265 70r 17 tires on it. Replaced the leather seat bottoms last month. Im keeping it for life. Its better than any of the new trucks today
Nice
I love them old F-150 body styles "97-03."
Omg same omg I love them too
Mine just rolled 402 1998 4wd 4.6 one used tranny changed original ball joints out today
Nice!
Love the truck, thanks for the back story 😎👍
I have a sweet spot for 10th gen f150's, picked up an 03 lariat supercab a couple months ago with 86k on the clock. Plan to keep it a long time, truck runs and looks like it just came off the assembly line.
That's an awesome find!
Truck really looks great. I see exactly why you’ve held onto it
My father left me a 98 long wheel base with the same paint and I'm gonna do the same work to it!!! Great looking truck.
Thanks! Good luck with yours!
Love it I’m fixing my 98 f150 4.6 manual same year but flareside really nice
Good choice!
Hello and good evening all F150 come with aluminum hoods and roofs
Man, I like the hood scoop
Me too! Haha. It's a love or hate thing tho with most folks. My wife hates it. But I remind her at least it came off a 2004 Mustang GT. So there's that. LOL!
@@98saleen how did you go about mounting it
The black plastic grille in the front needs to be cut down (about 1/2 of it's size, I used a saw). The rest of it is just drilling a few holes and the factory studs poke thru so you just line it up, center it (I used painter's tape and measured side to side to get accurate measurement points) and go. Should take you less than 1 hour to do it. I had a local painter shoot my paint code color to match my truck on it before I final mounted it to the hood. I like it, gives the truck a unique look.
my 99 f150 5z4 just got rod knock at 284k miles, i also beat the shit out of it so its reasonable.
I worked at the Norfolk Ford truck Plant for many years, until close... Is it a Norfolk truck by chance?
There is a 50 year decal on it. I gave the truck away a few months ago to my nephew. It's still running great. So if you were part of that build, thank you! Job well done!
my 01 had 435,000 on it before i messed it up. lol yeah i said "I messed it up." The temp dropped 40 degrees one night and cracked the block because i only had water in it my fault. I truly believe it would have gone another 400,000 miles if that would not have happen.
Oh no! They are tough trucks/engines for sure!
Ive got a 98 F150 in the same white/gold combo. Im a GM guy but honestly even at 330k miles this has been the best older truck ive owned. Ive been wanting to lower it and do thr same Harley wheels to mine. It looks great. Where did you get thr headlight assemblys?

Loving your truck brother. I've been thinking about doing the Expedition front end swap onto mine.
Thanks! Do it. It will look great.
I recently bought a 98 Ford F150 ext cab 4.6 2 wheel drive base model with 160,000 miles for $2,500.
I've been going through it and it will be a good truck.
If I put $2,,500 in it I'll have a total of $5,000 in a good truck.
I sure can't afford a new one.
Keep the old trucks on the road :)
That's great! Yes those old trucks are just built better and last a long time!
o boy, it looks so good
I have a 1998 Ford F150 with 66,000 miles which I had to replace all brake lines because of rusting out on inside which I replaced with stainless steel lines. What part of the country do you live?
NC. Never had any brake issues other than a master cylinder and booster.
Love this truck and the 08 f150 on your page. Did you notch the frame or add helper bags in the rear? 7” drop is quite a bit! My 08 2wd foose edition had the axle hitting the frame when it was at a 7” drop
Thanks! No I didn't use the full 7" drop. I have the rear shackles at the highest setting of the kit so it is probably only a 5" or so drop as it sits in the vid/pic. I can drop it more by moving the shackle bolt up, but it would be too low if I put any weight in the back and most likely hit something.
Great vid!! Just got this same truck. Quick question, are you suppose to turn off overdrive when driving this truck??
No you leave it on during normal driving. When towing, you should turn it off.
Hey I just found your channel because I just bought a 1998 f250 with the body style like yours nevrt seeen another like mine but I need a littler advice on things to change on it I’m a content creator like uou but I do lawn care and I’m located in Clinton North Carolina I use to live near garner and I’d love to talk to you 😊✅👋🏽
Sure let me know what questions you have. You can email me at 98saleen@nc.rr.com
I’ve got a 97 f150 and my ABS light came on and locks up when I slip on wet roads . The ABS came on and it used to and it’d go away I remember one mechanic saying something like the abs cord isn’t fully up it moves. Where can I find this wire to zip tie up? Or what
If the ABS light comes on when you slip on wet roads, that means it is working properly. The job of the ABS is to detect wheel slip and when it does you will see the light activate and the ABS solenoid will pulse pressure to that particular wheel to slightly apply the brakes to prevent the wheel from slipping. If your mechanic inspected the truck recently and found any wires hanging or an issue, he should have tied them up or replaced them. The wires have factory attachment points and should hang slightly to compensate for the wheel turning and the suspension moving up and down.
Did your truck come with the fog lights oriy? If not how did you wire them up. I have a 1997 F150, but I want upgrade the bumper with the factory fog lights.
Great question. No originally my truck did not come with fog lights. I purchased that front bumper/grille assembly with the fog lights (off a 4x4 model) and then wired up a 12V relay so that when I turn on my parking lights it sends a 12V signal to the relay and that feeds power to the fog lights (simply ground the other wire for the fog light bulb).
How or where can I find rims like those size 20
👍💪💪
Can you leave a link for the rims please!
Not a problem. Those are 20" Harley Davidson replica wheels. Here's a link on Ebay - www.ebay.com/itm/274643402925?hash=item3ff205c0ad:g:wukAAOSwtbFf-1IR
@@98saleen thank you so much
Im going to grab a set to just ran across your truck thanks for the review I’ll definitely be tuned in for the future videos I’ll have to start my RUclips journey with my 98 Ford F-150 rare manual
O an can I use 275/55/20 tires 🛞 for these wheels ?
@@ngphotboy1 I run a set of Cooper Discoverer H/T 275-45/20 tire size.
That was the ugliest body style other than the obs 04 and up really are hit or miss but they still look miles ahead of 97-04
