Hi everyone,

I am looking for a replacement radio/heater/bezel for a 1997 F150 XLT 4WD with the 4WD switch and passenger air bag switch built into the bezel. Graphite/gray/charcoal interior color. This bezel has no crossbar. From what I can tell the 97 and 98 is the same part number. Part number changes in 99 and that is when the crossbar appears. If anyone has one that is in good condition and would like to sell it, please send me a pic and price. I will include a picture of mine in a later post. The problem I have with mine is that 2 of the 3 screws that hold the passenger air bag switch in place are broken.

Thank you for your help.

 

car-part.com or hollander parts is your friend...

 

found 1... its brown tho. Are you against painting? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2003-F...oAAOSwuCBeTNIW

heres a few more i found on ebay but they are also brown... you might just have to break out the spray paint. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-2003-F...oAAOSwzp1eOIWD

Or epoxy yours back together
or buy one without the passenger air bag mount and just leave it tucked behind the bezel. How often are you turning on/off your passenger airbag?

 

Heres the part # you need F75Z-15044D70-AAJ

Heres a thread where people couldnt find one back in 2015 https://www.f150forum.com/f6/radio-bezel-319064/ so goodluck if you dont want to paint, epoxy, or just hide your passenger light

 

Grey, with crossbar, SOTF, and airbag. It's what you want. And cheap.

I agree its what he should buy, but its not what he wants lol, He doesnt want the crossbar.... but I cant see how that crossbar would be a problem in the 97/98 dashs. They look identical. I guess he just has a strong opinion against the crossbars? lol

That's the one I'm looking for. Thanks for the help, akdoggie and fordguy2100. I will check them out.

General question. Does anyone know if a bezel with a crossbar will fit if the original bezel did not have a crossbar?

Thanks

 

yes it does. Just a trim reinforcement for the frame

 

Thanks so much. You've been a great help.
