etc etc etc.

I could tell mine was ordered because all the dealer stock ones had a locking gas cap and mine didn't. That was the only available option.

The chrome wheels are all the same. The 454SS used black center caps instead of the chrome ones.

They were supposed to make only 2499 of them, they were so popular they just made a bunch and paid the fuel economy penalty.

Took it to the track and got kicked by bone stock 5.0 mustang GT's. If I brake torqued it it would spin all the way thru 2nd. If not it would spin all the way thru first.
Wife-to-be hated it.
Traded it in on a W/T regular cab, AC, Auto, no other option rubber floor fridge white 1/2 ton long bead. Drove that 216,00 miles until had 2 kids so couldn't take the family in it.

Love your truck.
