Offering an extremely
well-maintained
1997 Ford F250 Heavy Duty Crew Cab Shortbed
4x4 with a 7.5L (460) Gas Motor -- NO RESERVE!
The odometer reads ~196500 miles…roughly 10000 mi/yr…a bit
lower than average. But the truck is in
ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION THROUGHOUT!
The engine was
replaced
with a REMANUFACTURED motor at 169, 139 miles…only ~27, 365 miles on the engine!
I just had the transmission serviced in May
and got a clean bill of health from the mechanic. The driveshaft bearing was replaced at the
same time as well.
It has cruise control, lumbar bolsters, cold A/C, Power Windows, Power Locks, sliding rear window, LINEX bedliner, custom cab steps (also LINEX-d)
and bed tonneau cover to name a few important features.
The truck has no body rot and only three small blemishes of
surface rust or paint bubbles (thanks, crappy body guys; see accompanying
photos)! The bed rails/floor are rust-/rot-free. The truck comes from Nebraska
originally and I have replaced nearly all components that either failed or
needed upgrade. I have fought (and won) all
the typical Ford truck rust problems while I’ve owned it and the body reflects that
nicely. I’ve kept lots of receipts along
the way and can honestly claim that this truck remains a solid 8.5-9.0 on a ten-point
scale.
Here’s a short list of what’s been replaced/rebuilt (as
memory permits):
Engine (only ~28000 miles!)Headers (also brand-new, unused exhaust Y pipe to accompany
purchase)Exhaust systemCatalytic Converter(s)O2 sensors Leaf Springs (front/rear)Steering boxSteering ShaftFront end components (all)Ball joints upper/lower (all)Brake pad/rotors/calipers/hoses (all)Brake shoes/Drums/wheel cylinders (all)Fuel Tanks (side/rear)Fuel pumps (both)/filterRadiator Core SupportRadiatorGrilleIdler/PulleyBattery Stereo/speakersK&N Air FilterFront Quarter Panels (L/R)Wheel Arch Trim (all)Doors (all four; used – from Arizona)Tailgate (has a rust spot lower left)Shocks (ProComp; all four)Manual Locking Hubs (L/R) – rebuiltWelded-in Driver’s side lower cab cornerWelded-in Driver’s side rear wheel arch75% remaining on Nitto Terra Grappler tires (all
four) I drove the truck from Nebraska to RI and she got 13
mi/gallon highway! Not bad at all…and it
drove like a dream (70+ mph nearly
the whole way). The truck isn’t 100% and
I’m not selling it like it is…it’s a 1997. If you’re looking to buy a great truck with awesome looks that turns
heads wherever she drives, then you want to bid on her.
I do not provide any
warranty of any kind, expressed or implied. The vehicle is being sold AS IS without a warranty.
It has current RI registration, insurance, and a clear/clean title.
Winning bidder is responsible for picking up/transporting
the vehicle. The vehicle is currently
located in Warwick, RI.
Remember, it’s a 1997…not a new vehicle. This body style is becoming increasingly RARE
and condition is everything…she’s in EXCELLENT shape! Please look at the pictures…I’ve shown both
the good and the not-so-good so you can make an informed bid.
Good luck and happy bidding!
