This truck is being auctioned off at NO RESERVE. Hello, first off I am NOT a dealer. You pay no dealer fees, etc and most importantly I don't shine up my cars to make them (look) clean, basically something their not. You are bidding on the real deal. I have a 1997 Ford F-150 REGULAR CAB SHORT BED 4X4 with the 4.6L V8 with ICE COLD A/C in 100% ORIGINAL condition. This is a mint and rare, hard to come by Ford F-150 actually owned by a small local Fire Department. I have never seen a truck so meticolously maintained and taken care of. This truck was a Fire Department Show Truck and a personal take home truck when the Fire Chief decided he wanted to roll around Town in this beauty and driven by one of the top Fire Department personel, the man himself, the Fire Chief. He ordered the truck to have the 4.6 which is really rare for this set up being 4x4, regular cab, short bed (it even has the flareside bed!) and not the plain styleside. This truck was purchased new by the Sate of Florida. It has ALWAYS been a Florida truck meaning absolutely NO rust anywhere. NO lightbar holes (THIS VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A LIGHTBAR), NO antenna holes, etc.. NEVER any decals, anywhere. Even the interior is spotless. No foul odors, stains, rips, never smoked in. Interior looks so clean literally like new. No holes on the floor/mats, and dash are all free of any holes. The AM/FM CD radio works, all speakers sound great etc.. All lights work interior, etc.. Seats, floor look new once again never shampooed etc. Kept in the garage both at the station and at the Fire Chief's house in his garage. ONLY 90k original all highway miles which is very, very low miles for the year. Oil changed every 3,000 miles, as well maintained. Comes with a FULL SIZE BRAND NEW spare rim and tire as well. Truck idles, runs, drives and shifts like new. Does not leak any fluids of any kind. A/C blows ICE COLD. Truck drives straight down the road, no pulling, vibrations, etc.. Literally drives like a Cadillac, so smooth. Truck is 100% ORIGINAL PAINT never re-painted or touched up. I took pictures of the hood, roof, as well as for the sides look at how straight this truck is, no door dents, dings, scratches, etc.. We do not shine up our engine bays and interiors with that silicone stuff. This truck is as naturally clean and original as it gets. It's a truely beautiful truck and looks brand new. It drives like a new truck. It needs nothing, I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere. Great starting price, NO reserve. Any questions please feel free to ask! I have all the original paperwork, documentation for the TRUCK as pictured! Every single piece of paper that came with this truck when NEW will be included! This truck looks brand new and these pictures don't do it any justice. A truely well taken care of beautiful truck. Good luck. A lot of people have been asking me if car is for sale locally etc.. Unlike other ebayers this is a true auction so buyers dont have to worry about the car selling locally, on a website, classifieds, auto trader, etc.. Vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder here on ebay! Thanks. Amazing how the paint shines like new and has a beautiful deep shine, PICTURES show it all. This is a great looking truck. I would not hesitate to drive this truck back accross the Country and back, it needs nothing at all. Very reliable clean looking truck. Here is a list of ALL the modifications done to this rare truck: Please note ALL items listed are OEM Motorcraft Ford, NOTHING on the truck is cheap aftermarket unless otherwise stated. 4 Fuel Offroad Hostage wheels original truck specification size 17" 4 Nitto Terra Grappler tires original truck specification size 265 70 R17 4 New top of the line Pro Comp shocks, original truck height never altered with, just used to replace factory shocks Ford OEM Lightning style exhaust, original truck specification as well, all 1997 Ford F-150's have the exhaust on the passenger side.

Ford OEM Black Lightning style grille. 2 Kenwood/ 2 Pioneer top of the line speakers. Ford OEM FX4 decals. That is all that was done by the Fire Department at their expense, you can ONLY imagine how much money they put into this truck. Mechanically read the description, this truck needs nothing! Oil changed every 3,000 miles using Mobil 1 Synthetic since new and a Ford Motorcraft oil Filter. This truck has won a lot of stuff and looked great parked in the Fire Department garage and out front used for special shows and events for the City. Brakes all the way around have been done. Truck will come with the original radio it came with when new. PLEASE check out my feedback and check out the Ford : F-150 XL REGULAR CAB SHORT BED 4X4 TRITON 5.4L V8 (#271092202711) that sold for $6,100.00On Nov-27-12 at 10:32:15 PST, seller added the following information: I was browsing through my computer and found 3 more pictures of the truck before the Ford OEM Black Lightning style grille was put on and before the Ford OEM Lightning style head lights and corners were put on as well. Very clean truck as you can see, I will include the original tail lights and head lights at the buyers request. Thanks for looking!
