1983 Ford F-150 XL SuperCab 4x4 8-foot Styleside box — 5.0-liter V8


Ford's 1983 4-Wheelers brochure lists this F-150 SuperCab 4x4 8-foot Styleside box, the 5.0-liter V8, and manual/automatic transmission choices. Its trim matrix offers Standard, XL, and XLT across the F-150 pickup range while restricting XLS to Regular Cab. Because Ford does not cross-tab each individual gearbox to every engine and chassis, this page preserves the verified transmission category without inventing a specific gearbox pairing.
