I would buy that truck over any new one today, but not at that price. Beautiful truck, wish my 97's body still looked like that.

The KBB retail value for this truck is $7620!! The really sad news is that this "1-ton" is only rated to tow about 7000lbs mainly due to the manual trans and it would really struggle with that much weight, a modern F150 totally outclasses it in power and towing.

So it's only overpriced by 50 grand! What a steal!

It's all original! (minus the wheels, tires, intake, exhaust, and suspension)

Crack pipe.

$58k for a truck with an MSRP of under $30k in 1997? I'll offer $5k and a half smoked pack of Marlboros.

I'd give him the whole $58K........but the shift **** is on crooked...................

I wonder if it comes with $50K of gold in the bed???

It's nice looking(minus the barb wire crap). It's a near big brother match to my current '95 F150. Mine only had 60K miles on it 2 yrs ago and very nice. Wished I could have sold it to this guy for $45K and let him make $13K profit on it??? I actually did have a guy at a store stop me and offer me $10K for it. His truck had been stolen and wanted another very nice one to replace it. I passed.
