Check out my new find! Cleeeeaaan 97 F350HD

I have been looking for a black, big block, 97 F-350 for a looong time that was super clean and man are they hard to come by. Seems like they are all either beat to death, or molested beyond return or something. I finally found one!! Thought I would share.

Looks like a beautiful truck. I just bought a 97 F350 regular cab diesel with a plow. Overall it's in good shape, but needs some finishing touches to get it where I want it. I would be beyond pleased if I could get my truck to look 80% as nice as yours. Really nice rig.

Yeah, I've had a couple crew cabs and I love them, too. Probably one of the best looking trucks of all time but damn they are so big! I really wanted a reg cab 1 ton. It's a toy that stays in the garage, so I didn't need the room. My everyday is an Excursion.

Incredible looking truck! What part of the country are you from? I can't see a speck of rust or anything on that! What does it have for a drivetrain? In New England (where I'm from) trucks that look that nice just do not exist!

My Lord that truck is beautiful/amazing!! And, even though I'm a diesel fan, I kinda dig the 460 in it. I would put some aggressive tires on it (stock size or just slightly bigger) and a nice sounding exhaust and call it good. The aggressive tires would just give it a utilitarian/down to business look and the exhaust would just sound gorgeous!!! Nice find...how many miles?

Haha...no, I looked long and hard to find a stock one. I'm not touching it. It may get some 285 BFG's on the stock rims and the leveling kit but thats it. I've had atleast 7 lifted trucks over the years, I'm over them. I like to look at them!

Yeah, I love the diesels, too and I've had them but I really wanted a bog block for this truck. Its already got some nice exhaust(flowmaster) and yeah, little bigger tire and a leveling kit is all Im going to do. Believe it or not it's got 180k. Been in garage her whole life though. Motor and trans have 35k.
