All answers to all questions will be posted/added to the description at the bottom. If you like working on Fords and Power Strokes please keep looking you are in the right place, if you are looking for a truck that is road ready stop reading this and move on to something else - THIS TRUCK IS NOT FOR YOU. If it does not sell at this price, we will put in the barn and wait to restore/repair in the spring. Don't bother sending offers or asking if it is still available at the end of the auction.My son drove this truck as a work truck for a local business on/off for the last 3 years and purchased the truck from the business a few months ago, at that time the transmission has a shifting problem. It is a 1997 F 350 Power Stroke 4-WD with a new water pump and high output alternator. A used transmission was purchased and installed and it was not in the condition promised and therefore it is on eBay. The truck is complete with a bad automatic transmission installed and the original (also bad) automatic transmission is included as pictured in the bed. The truck will drive onto the trailer, I would not recommend trying to do much more until you fix the transmission. This was a restoration project and with the second transmission not working we have decided to see if it will sell and move on to the next project. Strong motor, goose neck and tool boxes. Newly replaced at 200,000 milesInjectorsInjector wiring harnessGlow PlugsHead gaskets Left to complete from the list of things we were planning to complete (there may be more): · New two tires (front tires were shot, moved the inside dual tires to the front) – Rims with bad tires in the bed· Front bumper replaced· Rust in side door jamb to be repaired· High beam headlight relay needed· Auto trans shift linkage needs tightened/repaired· Rust repaired on the front of the service body· Anti-lock brake indicator is on· Needs new oil cooler O rings Please look at the pictures and ask questions the only two items not included is the gas can in the bed and the yellow rotating lights on the top of the rack. Clear title. The vehicle is located at the crossroads of I-70 and I-81 in Hagerstown MD. Video of the engine running is available. Happy to work with a shipping company of your choice and your expense. Answers to questions: The 4WD works. It has manual locking hubs and a manual lever to switch from 2WD to 4WD. No noise in the hubs or transfer case. Thanks for asking.The frame has some surface rust and minimal pitting, but nothing rotten or rusted through. It could use some scrapping/steel bushing and paint. One of the leaf spring holders broke off the frame and was replaced. Thanks for asking. Payment terms are PayPal $500 deposit within 24 hours of close and would prefer cash at pickup. Otherwise will accept the balance due through PayPal if you are shipping the truck. If shipping, the title will be mailed certified mail on the same day the truck is picked up. Also the truck must be paid before the shipper picks up. Otherwise cash and title trade at time of pick up. Thanks for asking.
