1997 Ford F-250 XL Description

I've owned this 1997 F250 4X2 full bed pickup since 2012. In that time I've basically rebuilt most of the mechanics of the truck. On the other hand, not the body. If you're looking for an F250 with sound frame and mechanics ready for that new Texas or Arizona body, this is it. Rebuilt Windsor 5.8L has around 11 months left on its warranty.
