Help finding a Powerstroke

I've been looking to buy my first powerstroke but managed to get dead set on certain features so hopefully someone here might know of one for sale. I understand it'll be hard to find one but I plan to keep the truck forever so I don't want to settle on something.
1997
Ext cab
4x4
manual transmission
red/white two-tone(red with white stripe down center).

I've been keeping my eye open for over a year and a half but just over the last few months I've been seriously ready to buy one, been checking craigslist/classifieds like a madman.

I'm in WA but will travel a couple states away if it's the right truck.

If anyone have one like this for sale or knows where one is please let me know. I've found several that are close but none perfect, mostly the stick shift that's been he deal breaker. Basically everything on that list I'm dead set on.

ya man, i was lookin for a manual '97 powerstroke too. i needed a truck though, settled for a 94 idi, thats beside the point. anyhow, sorry to say i dont have one for ya, BUT ya your dead set one that THAT truck, try lookin in canada for one, namly.... vancouver. could widen your search. and from what ive herd, its not too hard to import to the US or vise-versa. *keep in mind that miles are longer than kms* haha

fyi there is one in vanouver on craigslist, '97 f250 7.3 powerstroke 5spd and its red, but no white. noticed it the other day

Haven't tried Canada, I'll ad that to my list of craigslist rounds.

Are there any site/databases that can search all the used car lots? I know some post on craigslist but not all.

That's about the closest I've seen so far. Does have a lot of miles on it and I really wanted a '97 but still might go down and take a look. Seems like it has some issues too.

If anyone see's any others please let me know.

Why are you stuck on a 97? The 96 and 97 are essentially identical.

Mostly just because it was the last year of that body style, kinda of an "end of an era" deal. Also read on here that there are a couple little bugs that were worked out in '97.

It's mostly the red/white, ext cab, longbed, 5spd that I'm dead set on.

Basically I plan to keep the truck forever so I want to find exactly what I want no matter how long it takes.
This is the color I'm talking about:

yeah I don't mind traveling, I realize I'm not going to find one right by my house. If anyone knows of one anywhere I'll make it happen if it's the right rig.
