1997 Ford F-350, 4x4, Crew Cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Auto Transmission.  Great solid truck.  Truck is a beast!

In 2008 I inherited a minivan.  In 2010 it was obvious when we had a kid that we needed a 4x4 for our gravel, long, hilly, north facing, last driveway to melt in the county.  Before kid we could always walk out of the snow.  I was looking for a smaller half ton truck but someone wanted a minivan and he had this truck.  The rest is history.

Now we have two kids and face the reality the truck is too big for my wife and more then we need.

Truck has not been stopped in the snow.

Truck is almost entirely unmolested and stock.  It has Superwinch manual hubs. 

Very good mechanically with following exceptions: AC is not cold (new problem have not researched problem possible freon), power windows are inconsistent, cruise control will cut off, driver's seat is torn.  The truck had a front right quarter panel repaired due to accident.  Back corner of bed has dent. 

Truck was well maintained before I purchased.  The auto tranny was rebuilt and installed by Ford dealer in Woodstock, VA.  Paperwork regarding specs for the tranny rebuild is incomplete.  Just before I purchased it also received a new fuel filter and air filter.

Mechanical since I bought the truck:

Regular oil changes (Shell Rotella 15W-40) not listed in this list

June 2010 179,617
flush rad
pulled turbo apart and reseal
repack front wheel bearings
new front pads, rotors, hardware, front hub seals, caliper slides, and repacked bearings

July 2010 179,966
New brake line along rail and brake fluid flush

July 2010

July 2011 183,567
Four new Dunlop tires stock size and alignment

August 2012  187,976
new fuel filter
flush radiator

November 2012 188,538
new intermediate steering shaft

November 2012 188,662
two new batteries

July 2013 190,484
fuel filter
IPR valve

December 2013 192,584
Crank position sensor

March 2014 193,546
fuel filter restriction switch
neutral safety switch

It will need an oil change soon and the AC needs attention (please see note above)

This truck and generation of truck will go down as one of the top five or top three trucks ever produced by Ford.  This generation Ford truck is up there with the 1956 Ford pickup and the 1970s Ford Highboys for legendary Ford trucks. 

The 1997 is the last year with this body style, has the legendary 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, and is a crew cab.  The F-250 and F-350 kept the existing body style for 1997.  The F-150 had a major body style change in 1997.  The F-250 and F-350 changed in 1998. 

Disclaimers - You are welcome and encouraged to see the truck in person.  Cash or bank check only.  No personal checks or pay pal.  Truck is for sale locally and ebay auction might end.  $500.00 deposit is required within three days.  Truck has to be paid in full within seven days of sale.  Short term storage is offered if truck is paid for in full.

Please email me with any questions.

We are going to miss this truck!  Our two boys (age two and five) love it.  Our oldest calls it Freight Train Buggy after the bluegrass song Freight Train Boogy.  He loves trains and since it has a diesel engine like trains he loves it! 

It is obvious it is more truck then we need a half ton will do for us.  I have owned numerous trucks and vans and this is without a doubt the strongest!

Thanks for looking at the auction!

Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.

Ford adds third shift at F-150 plant to keep up with demand

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

The signs have been very positive for Ford's F-Series line of pickup trucks as of late, and after 24 consecutive months of increasing sales of the best-selling F-150, the automaker has added a third production crew at its Kansas City Assembly Plant that includes 900 new hourly workers to meet demand for the truck. This the first step in Ford's plan to add 2,000 hourly jobs at the plant to help meet demand for its trucks and to begin production of the new Transit van, the automaker says.
Despite some tough new competition, sales of the F-Series are the strongest they've been since 2006, according to Ford. The automaker sold 60,449 F-Series in July, the best sales figure for the mid-summer month since 2006, which also represents a 23 percent increase compared to July 2012. From January to July 2013, sales were up 22 percent compared to the same period last year.
Ford has committed to creating 12,000 hourly jobs by 2015, and with the 900 new employees added to the assembly plant in Missouri, the company says it has completed 75 percent of its goal. Ford has also invested $1.1 billion to retool and expand the Kansas City Assembly Plant to ready it for Transit production. Take a look at the press release below for more job and F-Series sales information.
