1997 Ford F250 XLT 7.3L Powerstroke Crew Cab Short Bed 4WD Grandad's Truck

1997 Ford F-250 XLT Description

Ignore eBay's ridiculous shipping calculator, it quotes $598 to Albuquerque NM (216 miles) where I ship trucks on a regular basis for $150. Contact me for a real quote, I can arrange wholesale nationwide shipping.

Jim cell 6O2 435 2llO Make a reasonable cash offer and you will own this truck.

The Story:
Ever see "grandad" drive by in a super sweet old diesel truck and wish it could be yours? This is that truck. This truck is very straight and completely rust free (see underside photos) It has been garaged and never abused, never chipped, never smoked in, never driven by kids, no pets etc. It starts, runs, drives and stops excellent in every way.

Options and Equipment:
Has a very strong running 7.3 Powerstroke engine, auto trans, power windows/locks, cruise, tilt wheel, dual power lumbar, tint, AC, 4 brand new 10 ply AT tires, alloy wheels, spray in bed liner, driving lights, fog lights, grille guard, trailer brakes, air bags and more.

We rebuilt the front axle, installed 2 brand new NAPA heavy duty batteries, gave this truck a full safety inspection, oil/filter/fuel filterchange, checked all fluids, new air filter, has been cleaned/detailed inside etc.
Though in excellent overall condition, this is a used 21 year old truck and as you would expect there are imperfections, scratches, dings, wear, etc. I am being very "nit-picky" on some of this stuff because I value my reputation/feedback.

The tailgate has a large dent on the left side, I have my PDR guy coming today to see what he can do with it, email for an update (see photos)

There is some minor stains/wear/tear here and there on the interior as you would expect with the age/miles (see photos)

There are a couple small holes drilled in the dash (see photos)

There are some spots on the passenger window and a small chip in the windshield (see photos)

There are some scratches on the rear bumper (see photos)

The driver's and rear right passenger window is slow going up (see photos)

Please call me with questions or offers. I'm not some slick haired, polyester clad car salesman. I'm 48yrs old, jeans, boots, t-shirt, down to earth, plain talk, have a family, self employed, work for a living kind of a guy, I won't B.S. you or waste your time.
