1997 Ford F-450 XLT Description

OFFERING A 1997 FORD F-SUPERDUTY WITH MARMON-HERRINGTON CONVERSION 4X4 POWERSTROKE TURBO DIESEL 5 SPEED 9 FOOT DUMP BODY CENTRAL HYDRAULICS COMPLETELY SERVICED AND READY FOR WORK. INCLUDED IS A SNOW PLOW AND TAILGATE SPREADER THAT WILL REQUIRE MOUNTING,FABRICATING AND ADDITIONAL PARTS TO COMPLETE BUT THEY CAME WITH THE TRUCK AND I DO NOT NEED THEM SO THEY CAN GO WITH IT. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM A LOCAL PRIVATE COMMUNITY AND SLOWLY WENT OVER THIS TRUCK AND MADE ANY REPAIR NECESSARY STARTING WITH THE FRAME. I DESCALED AND PAINTED THE FRAME AND IT IS ROCK SOLID. I REPLACED ALL THE STEEL BRAKE LINES WHICH TURNED INTO ALL NEW REAR BRAKES,CALIPERS AND ROTORS, ALL NEW SHOCKS, NEW TANK STRAPS FOR THE REAR TANK, NEW TRACK BAR AND STEERING STABILIZER,FRONT TIRES,NEW CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE,THROWOUT BEARING AND PILOT BEARING,NEW 4X4 SHIFTER ASSY,WHEEL SIMULATOR, DRIVERS SIDE ROCKER PANEL, FLOOR MAT, BATTERIES,STARTER,INJECTOR O-RINGS,GLOW PLUGS,IPR,HPOP,FLUIDS FILTERS AND OFF TO PAINT SHOP TO SPRAY ROCKER AND DUMP BODY REPAIRS. IM SURE IM FORGETTING THINGS BUT I DID ALL THE REPAIRS WITH THE IDEA OF KEEPING THE TRUCK. I AM SELLING FOR TWO REASONS AND IM BEING HONEST HERE, THE PAYLOAD IS TERRIBLE. ITS REGISTERED FOR 12,000 GVW AND MUST WEIGH 8,000 EMPTY. SO IT LEGALLY CAN HAUL 2 TONS AND UNLESS YOUR A LANDSCAPER HAULING MULCH ITS NOT MUCH OF A LOAD. THE SECOND REASON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT A SMALL FARM WITH THE IDEA MY HOUSE WOULD SELL FAST AND IT JUST HASNT HAPPENED YET. TWO MORTGAGES IS SLOWLY SINKING ME SOTHINGS GOTTA GO THAT I DONT REALLY NEED AND THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY. I DONT THINK I MENTIONED THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 26K MILES, VERY NICE NOT PERFECT BUT EVERYTHING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PLOW AND TAILGATE SPREADER WORK AS THEY SHOULD. ANYQUESTIONS SHOOTEM AT ME. CAN BE SEEN IN STERLING PENNSYLVANIA BY APPT AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO VIEW BEFORE BIDDING YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS TRUCK. ALSO CHECK ON NEW TRUCK PRICES WITH ALL THE OPTIONS THIS ONE HAS AND YOU WILL BE AT 70K OR BETTER. IT IS GEARED LOW BUT WILL DO 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. LOW RANGE LOW IS CRAWLING. THANKS FOR LOOKING
