Default Hood Replacement

Are all 94-98 stock hoods steel or did some come with fiberglass?

No it's not, you're wrong. They are all fiberglass, the reinforcement is steel and that's it.

i know for a fact that all 99-04 are fiberglass. im not 100% sure on the 94-98 but im pretty damn sure they are all fiberglass as well. like ryan said they have steel reinforcement but the rest is fiberglass.

I worked for ford, every hood I ordered was fiberglass. We even had a bad batch of warped Cobra hoods for 94-98 due to a bad mold. Only the F150's came with either aluminum or fiberglass hoods.
