I have a 99 and have never heard that. Ford is notorious for mid year changes. Not so much with GM.

if this is in regards to a HUD cluster, 30 minutes of work will find the answer a lot quicker than hours of forum searching and posts

June to June is production; call it Jan on for late

most HUD cluster info is posted from others reading ONE or TWO posts and repeating the information

It's just like saying all 2001's have the LS6 block; the statement is completely FALSE

My '99 was produced July '98 therefore I would consider that as an "early" one. It has all the bells and whistles including the HUD. It did however, get a BorgWarner transmission which were not supposed to be in the '99's as opposed to Tremecs. I suspect I got a leftover...caused me lots of problems too till I finally gave up on the 3rd major failure and replaced it with a Tremec. No more problems.
