PLEASE READ ENTIRE AD AND VIEW ALL PICTURES! NO RESERVE! You are looking at a 1997 Mid-Year Ford F-250 XLT. It has the 4.6L V8 which runs good with 119K which is pretty low for a truck of this age. It does have an exhaust leak which is in between the exhaust manifold flange and the pipe flange. The bolts that hold them together has rusted and the pipes are separated. Probably an easy fix at your local muffler shop. This truck is RUST FREE which is rare from a Jersey Truck. Yes the body has some small dings and scratches but again normal for a truck this age. It is an XLT package, with PW, PL, Cruise, Stereo, sliding rear window, opening rear side vent windows, cloth seats with no rips or tears which is rare for It's age. It has a Gray multi color pattern with a 60-40 front bench seat with fold down console and the matching back seat, six passenger. The interior although vacuumed, neat and clean, could use some detailing: carpet cleaning, headliner cleaning and repair, seats look good but I would clean them as well. The exterior as stated above has small dents, dings and scratches. The exterior still looks pretty good considering but the Driver's side rear bed panel has been re-painted and not done well but truck is presentable. The Green and Beige Paint is like the Lariat Style. The front bumper is tweaked as shown in pics. The bed has been sprayed with Rhino Liner. The wheels are chrome but are missing all center caps except 1 which I have but not installed because It would look stupid. The drivers rear tail light has a crack at the top. I am going to a swap meet this weekend and will look for these parts and if found they will be included. It will also need rear shocks, I think It's a bit bouncy. In conclusion: This truck may need a little TLC and some minor repairs but this is one tough 4x4, haul anything and with a paint job would be a great looking truck. It just passed NJ State inspection and is good for 2 years from this month. It may have just a few more miles on It since I still use It although not much lately. Lift It for a killer 4x4. Call me up to 9pm EST on my cell # 732-684-1804 with any other questions. Ask me questions thru ebay and I will answer and post if pertinent. This Truck is also for sale locally and I may remove any bids, ad or final bid if a better offer is made. I will be at the Old Bridge Raceway Park in NJ where It will also be for sale. If you are in the area, I would suggest you come and see It for yourself. I believe that I have described this Truck to the best of my ability and is being sold AS-IS.
