Hey guys, Im new here from Florida, about to buy my first truck, its a 1997 ford f250 Heavy duty. Its an ext cab, long bed, has beefed up suspension, trailer brake, gooseneck and 5th wheel, it has 212000 miles and runs like a dream, it really looks good, i may pull a gooseneck once in a while, an will be pulling a landscape trailer a lot. Im sure this powerstroke could pull a house down. What do you guys think?DIESEL PICKUP POWERSTROKE F-250
I will post pictures when i figure out how, Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice, i have big plans for this!

5500 is a lot of money for a 2 wheel drive F-350 with 212k miles on it.
there is a 97 2 wheel F-350 dually crew cab longbed with fifth wheel on craigs list posted in the 94-97 forum for 4500 or best offer.

So, was that the F-250 HD? It has the same body as the 1997 F-150 but with 7 lug wheels?
Or is your truck the F-250 Heritage, which was an F-250 with the 1990-1996 F-150 body style?

This truck is the heritage, has the boxy body style, i was doing some reading, and i thought the Heavy duty f250s kept the smae body style in 97 where the light duty f250 went with the new curved body style.
