1997 Ford F450 2WD Dually Flat Bed 5 SPD 7.3L Powerstroke 60K Orig. Miles

1997 Ford F-450 XL Dually Description

Don't waste your money on Autocheck, VIN scan shows 3 owners and 0 accidents.

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 for about .50 a mile.

The Story:
Sorry for the pictures, trying to list a couple trucks before it starts storming again. Normally we'd make this truck pretty, work ready and then ask top dollar. I've had a lot of guys wanting 7.3 trucks like this as we find them, wanting to do the work themselves, so Ill run it here once, if it doesn't work out I'll fix her up and relist on a BIN/ make offer type deal. I didn't even have this truck cleaned inside which feels all wrong, lol...

This truck starts and runs well, almost 0 blow by (see photo) the clutch feels solid, goes through all the gears smoothly with no issue, drives and stops well etc. There is potential here because of the super low miles and very rare drive-train combo. Call me with questions, ask my honest opinion, I'll give it without any sugar coating...

Options and Equipment:
This is a bare bones F450 10 lug dually work truck, no options, but it has a strong running 7.3L Powerstroke engine, 5 speed manual trans, dual fuel tanks, manual windows/locks, no AC, tow package, receiver hitch, heavy duty flat bed, filthy gray cloth interior but a straight old body and no rust (see photos underneath)

We gave this truck a full safety inspection, oil/filter/fuel filter change, checked all fluids, air filter, inspected the brakes and undercarriage, etc.
Though it has very low miles, this is a used 20 year old work 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.

There is no rust on the truck but I see some on the flat bed braces underneath (see photos)

The interior is filthy as you can see, dash is cracked, does not appear to have been smoked in (see photos)

The tires are old and rotten, weathered, cracked, they should not be driven on in my opinion (see photos)

The NADA sticker fell off (common issue) long ago, this is cab/chassis truck, check with your DMV if you are concerned (see photos)

I hear a small exhaust leak when started cold, the power steering pump groans, also a common Ford issue, must be a factory part, lol

Please call me, I'm a small family business, not some polyester clad car salesman. I'm 49yrs old, jeans, boots, down to earth, plain talk, 2 kids, self employed, work for a living, I won't B.S. you or waste your time.
