This 1997 Ford F-350 XLT Crew Cab Long Bed is a standout example of a highly desirable OBS Ford, finished in Oxford White over a remarkably clean blue interior. Powered by the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke diesel and paired with the E4OD automatic transmission and 4x4 drivetrain, this truck represents the durability and simplicity that have made these trucks increasingly collectible. With 214,831 miles, it has clearly been well cared for and presents exceptionally well inside and out.

The exterior is clean and straight, maintaining a classic factory appearance with chrome accents and original styling that has aged extremely well. It sits on factory Alcoa 16-inch wheels wrapped in brand new BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires, giving it a proper stance while remaining true to its original look. It also features a spray-in bedliner for added durability and practical single hoop-style step bars at each door for easy access.

Inside, the blue cloth interior is in immaculate condition and is a true time capsule for this era of Ford trucks. The seats, carpet, and panels show extremely well, and the truck retains its original owner’s manuals and booklets, further highlighting how well it has been preserved.

Mechanically, this truck has been thoroughly gone through and is turnkey. It runs and drives excellent with no issues, feeling tight and strong on the road. Recent service work has been extensive and thoughtfully completed, including suspension and steering components such as Bilstein 4600 series shocks, all new tie rods, and a fresh alignment. The cooling system has been addressed with a new coolant reservoir and a full system flush, while the front of the engine has been refreshed with a new serpentine belt, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, alternator, and vacuum pump with pulley. Additional maintenance includes new batteries, a rebuilt steering column, replacement of a transmission line due to a leak, installation of an inline transmission filter, a new camshaft position sensor, and a fresh oil and filter service, all contributing to a truck that is ready to be driven with confidence.

Equipped with a factory Ford auxiliary idle control system, allowing adjustable high-idle operation—ideal for cold starts, battery charging, or PTO-style use—this truck offers added functionality that is increasingly hard to find. Combined with its clean condition, documented care, and iconic drivetrain, this is a very honest, unmolested example of a 7.3L OBS F-350.

A clean, well-sorted, and highly desirable classic diesel truck that presents exceptionally well, runs strong, and is only getting harder to find in this kind of condition.
