That reads like a cut and paste from Wacko-pedia.“For the 1997 model year, the ninth generation was gradually phased out of production; the F-150 was replaced by the tenth-generation F-Series (see below)”

I was working at a Ford dealer back then. We got our first new body style f150 early in ‘96, I remember it because did the PDI on it. The day that the order bank opened on the ‘97 body style is the same day the order bank closed on the ‘96 old body style. (We sold a LOT of OBS trucks when that new body style hit the showroom. A lot of people didn’t like it.) So yes, there would have been some delivery and stock overlap... but there was never a ‘97 old body style F150, like you asked before.
