I just bought a 99 with a loose driver side wheel bearing, I know there is a different before and after 3/99 .
My truck build date says 3/99, well is it before or after?

just went thru this with mine. yours should be the later model. mine was the earlier model but i updated it to the later model and got the new matching rotor.

the difference between the 2 is about 1/16" in the height of the hub measured off the face of the rotor. you know if you hvae the wrong one, the rotor will bind on the caliper and will not turn. on mine i band-aided it by putting a couple washers between the caliper bracket and where it mounts to make up the difference until i could get the new rotor.

what Rob said
difference in thickness of the actuall hub flange.
so ford ahs been the only right place for the old style.
but your actually better off updating if it is the old style, parts are easier to come by.
