I hope I put this in the right spot. I am the proud owner of a 97 F350 I will add some pics on here. Its a good truck and does need a few other things but its a good one.

 

Nice truck!

Since there's no specific '97 forum, this is as good a place as any

 

Very nice truck.

Welcome to FTE. You will learn all about your truck. Don't be shy to ask question here because people on here like to help.

 

Nice!! I swear that was the same truck I saw here til I saw the last pic....There is one running around here that is so blue it is purple. nice rig tho!

 

That is a nice looking truck! Sometimes I think the 90's truck were the best looking! What you have in there for a motor? I am guessing a 7.5 with a 4 speed+ od? I had a 2 tone brown one the same year as yours, it was a nice truck untill a buddy of mine got ahold of it!

 

Hello all,
Thank you for the warm welcome. I do intend to ask a bunch of questions! I love this truck and have wanted one for a loooong time. They were just always a little outside my budget. This truck was actually able for me to buy thanks to my VA benefits FINALLY being approved. I never like to spend money on myself (family you know) But I got such a deal on it that I finally got the chance. My boys call it Big Blue. A name the previous owners kids called it. My boys thought it was befitting.
Merlins,
It has the 5.8 in it for now.
Maybe one day I will beef it up a bit. But for now I find it has plenty of power.
Again thanks for the welcome.
Jason

Judging from the pics...that truck doesn't need a thing...Looks sharp just the way it is...

 

Welcome, Nice Truck!

 

Thanks to all,
Dfooch when I said that I meant like the steering mechanism's could use some work. But thank you.
Jason
Thanks MSGT

 

To be honest I like the style of the 90's the best, thats a sharp looking truck. First truck I ever drove was my dads '94 150 with a I6 and 5 speed. And from what I hear the later 'roller' 5.8's were pretty nice motors. My poor '99 150 is already rusted completely through in the cab corners
