mrhobbz Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) 1997 F-150 XLT Supercab 2WD 73,666 original miles.4.2L v6 5spd I bought this truck from my dad to put around in this winter but now that I bought the Saab I have no need for it. Truck has had brakes, tie rod ends, ball joints, and pitman arm done in the last 500 miles by my father who has been a mechanic for 40 some odd years. I had to put a new fuel pump in it about 2 months ago. Truck runs great and starts every time. Clutch/trans are in perfect working order. Good: 73k original miles, clean title, never been in an accident."New" used all season tired with about 95% tread life left.Interior is very clean, has rubber bedliner. Bad: Needs a rear windshield put in it ($240 for the slider through safelite)Has typical F-150 cancer.The plastic threading for the shift knob cracked (knob wont stay on, will throw in the least cheasiest shift knob i can find)Needs a driver side window motor (will be buying and putting the new window motor in this upcoming weekend)I took the radio out since the rear windshield is out of it and managed to lose the aftermarket radio (will be picking up a new mounting kit and including a pioneer cd mp3 head unit w/ detatchable face plate) Has not had the recall done for the tank straps (currently held in place with 1 factory strap that is good and 1 ratchet strap, I have a new set of tank straps on order at advanced) http://www.mrhobbz.com/f150/944687_10152867815900006_934269718_n.jpg http://www.mrhobbz.com/f150/964165_10152867817240006_717785299_o.jpg http://www.mrhobbz.com/f150/966670_10152867825390006_1260026437_o.jpg http://www.mrhobbz.com/f150/966740_10152867822465006_1578607327_o.jpg http://www.mrhobbz.com/f150/977531_10152867826955006_721791243_o.jpg Going to start it off at $2500 obo.

mrhobbz Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 What is the tow rating? -Marc Edmunds and all other specs I can find online says 7500lbs. I will double check on the door sticker/owners manual when i get home. My dad originally bought this truck to tow his boat around but he ended up getting rid of his boat. It does have a reese hitch on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally going to buy one out of a junkyard but decided not too since i've never done a windshield before. Safelite quoted me $230 for a slider installed (came with a 1 piece window) I almost forgot i've got a matching fiberglass tonneau cover sitting in the shed for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
