I've got them on my 99 F-150(new) 4x4-but had to ask for them! It was sort of funny when i asked the salesman if it had them, we both had to crawl under neath the truck to check(we thought that they came stock). It seems that they stopped putting them on as a regular stock item-at least on the one I was going to get-had them in stock put them right on that day!. My old 80 Toyota had them, as did every government rig I ever drove! If I remember right my dad's 57 chev had one and most trucks i saw growing up did (I think). It's still hard to believe that stock a 4x4 doesn't come with them anymore-probably figure that they could sell more rigs,if you punched a hole in the oil pan when you were out playing in the boonies. I'm not sure on that last statement-anyone know for sure? I mean who would go off-road without a skid pan-or am I just getting that old?
