Description

1997 Ford F-350 Flatbed Dually — 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel

Classic OBS (old body style) Ford workhorse powered by the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke diesel — one of the most reliable and sought-after diesel engines Ford ever built. Set up as a flatbed dually, this truck is ready to haul, work, or get put back into service.

Key Features:

• Make/Model: 1997 Ford F-350 Super Duty
• Engine: 7.3L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel (original factory motor)
• Dual rear wheels (dually) for heavy hauling
• Wood flatbed with removable headache rack / front wall
• Regular cab configuration
• Heavy-duty frame and suspension

Mileage: Truck has no more than 80,000 original miles on the factory motor. Odometer is currently not displaying — a common issue on this generation of Ford that’s typically a simple gauge cluster or speedometer gear fix. Low miles for a 7.3, which is barely broken in on these engines.

Recent Work Done:

• New brakes
• New tires
• New battery

Condition: Runs and drives. Starts up, diesel pulls strong, brakes stop true on the fresh pads and new rubber. Flatbed shows honest wear from work use — wood is weathered but solid. Body has typical Florida wear with some surface rust spots (visible around headlight and wheels), paint is still presentable. No A/C — fair weather / work truck.

Good To Know:

• The 7.3 Power Stroke is known for going 300k–500k miles with basic maintenance — this one has a long life ahead of it
• Parts and service support widely available
• Pre-emissions diesel — no DEF, no DPF, no regen headaches
• Mechanical simplicity makes it easy to own and repair

Great option for contractors, landscapers, farm use, hauling equipment, or anyone who needs a dependable diesel workhorse without modern truck prices.
