After upgrading my maintainer service body to a larger chassis, i have up for sale a very nice F450 superduty chassis. This truck is 99 percent rust free, and in excallant shape. This truck has all orginal paint and no rust in the cab corners, under the doors, under the wheel wells, or in the typical ford places. This truck has always spent its life inside a heated shop, finding one of these truck in this condtion is a rare find espically in northern Illinois! The frame is in excallant shape, and does not have any rust holes or rotted areas typical of an older ford chassis. Also the old bed was bolted to the chassis so there has been no welding to the frame of the chassis. I have power washed the chassis, so its nice and clean and easily inspected. The truck is equiped with bucket seats and console. Cruise control and air condtioning, The truck runs and shifts well. I have replaced the clutch, fuel pump, fan motor, oil cooler seals, and fan cage. I have put 25k miles on this truck and it has always ran well. The engine is the 7.3 powerstroke equiped with the 5 speed. The 1997 superduty were the best superduty for mileage, I could average 16mpg on the highway. Also everthing works on the truck, interior, extreior lights, markers, ac, dome light, cruise, and heat. The truck does not leak spots on the driveway. This truck is ready to go another 200k! This would be a perfect flatbed truck or another srv truck. I wish i had a use for it as this truck is the cleanest superduty i have seen! Also how often do 1997 trucks have just 144k? My reserve is set at 5k, as this is a steal for this truck, the truck can be test driven, or inspected. Its currently parked in a heated shop in Montgomery Illinois and the inspector is more then welcome to test the truck to his specs. Also the truck could be driven home if the buyer wants to install rear lights and mud flaps, Im more then willing to help the buyer install them to drive it home. I will assist the buyer any way I can, also the truck is for sale locally so i can cancel the auction at anytime. Also the windshield is cracked at the bottom, still passes safety lane so I never changed it. The truck is currently set up with a PTO. Any questions?
