I just got back from Oklahoma. Flew down and drove back a
97 SCSB F250 7.3 5 speed 4wd 170k White w/ Blue interior.

It is Very clean, And that is why I went south for it.
Found out it was originally sold new in Idaho and stayed there for 2 years
Then went to Montana for 6 years,
then Missouri for 4 years,
Then Arkansas for the last 5

It has a set of stacks I need to remove, along with a pair of fog lights.

Then I have to figure out how to remove the spray on bed liner off the lower portion of the truck:doh::doh:

A Dana 60 was already added by one of the previous owners. It looks like they did everything right EXCEPT use F350 springs(reused F250s and add an add-a-leaf), can you say Kidney belt!!! They also did not use a F350 pitman arm. Has a terrible turning radius. And F350 badges

I think It is going to say parked for the remainder of the winter. i don't know how much prescription I will have time for this summer with other projects, so it will prob stay parked next winter too.

Enough of the babbling, I know everyone wants to see it...

Looks pretty clean, I don't mind the rhino liner on the rocker panels myself. The stacks look terrible tough, I would ditch those asap.

Nice truck. I wouldn't mind the rhino liner but the body molding would have to go if the rhino liner stayed.

Looks like a truck that has some potential. I agree on ditching those stacks and the rhino liner. The fog lights I could deal with but I still think they should go.
Knowing your work I know it will turn out great.




Good thing it doesn't have red interior. LOL

Nice truck Brad, looks like it was well worth the trip to get it.

I'm also going to start looking for a SC F250 once I get my 97 finished.

Good looking truck! I agree ditch the stacks! What are your plans for it?? After your last F250 build that is amazing! I can't wait to see what you do with this one!

Truck is nice, stacks are hideous!

If you can't remove them right aways, can you at least photoshop them out?

Nice solid truck, but that's a shame about the bedliner and stacks.

Looks pretty clean. I love the solid white ones! You going to do a 2-tone eventually?

That's really cool minus the stacks. I hope to get one like it one day.
