Speaking of government regs... just wait 'til all
these light duty CC, quad cabs, etc...come out. I
think the government will then make these trucks
meet all passenger car requiremnts. Don't think
they do now, thats why trucks are cheaper than
cars. Jerry.

--Hello all,Do any of you know why no ford trucks -
F-
-250 - F-450 don't have bags? 
-
-The future govermental requirement for air bags
-applies only to passenger vehicles.  The HD trucks
-over a certain GVWR are not considered passenger
-vehicles, and are exempt.  Secondly, an air bag
-does not carry the marketing weight with the work
-truck buyer as is does with the mini-van crowd.
-
-Hopefully this will answer the question and prevent
-another flame war on the merits of air bags.  But I
-doubt it.
