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! I have over 75 pictures of this truck, if more are needed feel free to email at tryagn5@yahoo.com, or call at 630 677 1530. 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, which will be removed prior to the sale.
Any questions?

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]
Sun, 08 Dec 2013The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
