Douglas,

Assuming you have an automatic 97-02 F-150, the model you are after is 15004. Unfortunately, future production runs have been delayed significantly on this part. We plan on offering it again, but cannot give a firm date as to when this will be. Last summer our gauge pod division moved to a new facility and purchased entirely new forming and trimming equipment to keep up with demand. Many of these new machines required new tooling fixtures and programming for trimming. This delayed our entire gauge pod line for months. The demand for our pods continued to grow into 2002 and forced many less established models like the steering column pods to suffer. Based on our current situation we feel that by the end of August we should be able to ship the 15004 again.

Thanks,
Matt

We'll just see about august
