This 1997 Ford F350 really may be the nicest 1997 Ford F350 anywhere. But don't take our word for it, take a look at the pictures. Come take it for a drive. Give us a call and let us give you a detailed walk-around description and then decide for yourself.
This particular 1997 Ford F350 is a 1-owner truck. The original owner (who has passed away - that is why this beautiful truck is up for sale) purchased the truck brand new and registered it in their company's name. When they closed that company in 2002 they kept the truck and changed the registration over to their personal name. This truck has been owned by the same person since it was brand new. The Carfax supports this and that helps explain why this 1997 Ford is as close to perfect as any 1997 truck anywhere.
Nicely equipped with the XLT package this Ford F-350 Crew Cab has a premium cloth interior with 40/20/40 front seats with power lumbar supports and fold-down center console. It also has a factory AM/FM/Cass stereo, Cruise control, Air conditioning, Power windows and locks, Rear sliding window, Manual folding camper mirrors, Dual fuel tanks, a tow package, and more!
Inside and out this Ford F350 1-ton Powerstroke is remarkable. We can't say it is flawless or new because it is a 1997 - but rest assured it is as close to flawless as any 1997 pickup we have ever seen. There are no rips, stains, or odors anywhere in the cloth interior. All of the power options function perfectly. The seats are comfortable with no abnormal wear and no soft spots in the support foam.
The exterior is also exceptional. We have had it polished and the paint shines like new. There is no evidence of paint work anywhere on the body and the CarFax is clean as a whistle with no accidents or damage reported. Take a look at the photos and you will see that even the under-side of this truck is exceptional. There is absolutely no rust anywhere on this truck thanks to the fact that it has spent its entire life here in sunny Colorado - and they don't use salt on the roads here!! Part of the reason we feel this truck has not been painted is because there are some very tiny (smaller than the tip of a pencil) rock chips in the paint as well as one scratch that has been color touched. These very minor imperfections are not visible from any distance and do not detract from this exceptional truck in any way. We have included far-away (about 5 feet) and close up pictures of the color-touched scratch and the small area on the bed of the truck that has chips in the paint so you can see for yourself how small these are.
All in all this 1997 Ford F350 is as close to perfect as we have ever seen in a 1997 pickup. From the way it looks to the way it starts, runs, rides, and drives, this 1997 Ford F350 is awesome.
This exceptional 1997 Ford F-350 Crew Cab 4x4 needs nothing except a new home. Take a look at the photos. Come take it for a drive. Give us a call and we will be your eyes and ears. See for yourself that this truck is as nice as we say it is.
