Yes. 97 is the year the F250 came in 2 body styles. The new body style was a lite duty while mine was the heavy duty. When I go to the part store or order something online, they try to give me parts for the lite duty. Not everywhere but most.

We have just new one.... from 2002. and we have f-350 before 1970.

But.. ours F-350 are 100% for work. the most of them were sold on frame, the owner decides to put a woody bed.. or a chest truck...
She don't came with original bed...

I've actually been driving the truck the last couple days with all the snow in the forecast. So I have been trying to catch up on taking pictures of her. Hope nobody minds. Maybe someday I will have a good camera. Second picture is me parking up on the grassy area next to the parking spots because everybody else already took the spots on that side of the lot at my condo. We all have to park on one side when a plow is inevitably going to show up, then we all switch sides. Greatly looking forward to not dealing with the charade anymore.

You can never have too many pics of these trucks. Plus I like that truck, it reminds of my dads old 89.

I would like to have some Coopers on this truck in the next few months. Either that or bfg a/t's. With new wheels as well. Though there are other areas of the truck that need much more immediate attention. Namely in the engine category.

Men... your truck is very nice... about the 3rd pic. The filter is originally moved.. or is this just in your truck..
Do you have some pics of front spring and front spring hangers? I'd love to swap a straight axle with hevy duty springs in my F-1000.... these look built tough..

That is one clean f350 right there. How do you like your coopers? I love mine!

Here are a couple before pics of the new paint on the bumpers and new lights and also the front spring swap. It may not be real noticeable on these pics but the front end did rise up a couple inches after I put in the heavier springs.








And after

I am about to swap them for 37" Military surplus MTRs on painted black spoke wheels. Wheels will be sand blasted Wednesday and I will paint them that afternoon. Hope to have them mounted by the weekend.
