I have for sale my 1997 F250 HD 4x4 Crew Cab XLT truck with the highly sought after 7.3 Liter Powerstroke Turbo Diesel. I have only owned it for a little while, but am downsizing now and no longer have a need for such a large truck. It is a great looking truck and runs well. Plus, it is the fully upgraded XLT model. I have a Clean CA Title in my name. I am willing to sell to anyone local, out-of-state, or out-of-country, and will even assist in making shipping arrangements if neccessary. But keep in mind ALL shipping will be at the expense of the buyer. Vehicle must be picked up and paid for within 1 week of auction close unless winning bidder has previously made other arrangements with me (seller). Good luck and happy biddding! Please read the entire auction detail, and feel free to ask any questions that have not been covered.

This is because whoever installed it put the moutning brackets on upside down and since they are angled to compensate for the mounting point and flipping them ended up angling the bumper. I crawled under it and from what I can see the bumper and frame are NOT bent in any way. It should be any easy 30 minute fix.On Jun-18-10 at 18:05:21 PDT, seller added the following information:I just noticed that I incorrectly listed the mileage as 214,000. The actual mileage is 204,000 ... so a little bit lower than stated. Sorry for the mistake.
