BKrois Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 My high school dream truck was a black 1997 F350 diesel reg cab long bed. Somehow I ended up with a 1995 F250 gasser, hated the Twin Traction Beam. I've always liked the body style though and have still wanted to get one. Here are some photos of them I've run across in my travels My old truck after I had it repaintedFew randoms 2 Quote BryanMy Photo Albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I prefer the pre-98 look to today's models. You can still see hints of the early-mid 60's F series in the doors of the '97. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philatruck Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 My favorite generation of the F-Series, and in my opinion, the best pickups ever made. These trucks will last forever. A lot of construction companies in my area use this generation F-250, and F-250HD's, as labor trucks, and they are beat to crap, but still continue to run strong. My dad had 96, and my uncle had a 93 F-150XL, both with straight 6's, very solid truck. My uncle put about 325,000 miles on the original engine, and tranny before trading it in.Case in Point, Quote -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2013 Not a huge Ford fan but this body style was definitely one of the best. Reg cab long bed 4x4 with a 7.3 is alright in my book.What sucks is now they are starting to rust out around here, unless you find a nice southern truck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ahhh, my next best F series truck. I like my ol bumps, but when I bought my first NEW '96 F350 I was hooked.460 automatic, loaded XLT. I put a Vortech supercharger on it just after this picture(pulling my brand new 40ft Haulmark trailer). Here I'm at the track running the ol dually. Ran 15.8's which back then was nip'n the heels of the first gen Lightnings(which usually ran low 15's):I traded this truck for a '99 V10 crew cab 5 spd.I did buy another '95 F150 about 5 yrs ago for daily driver. 302/automaticIt only had about 80K miles and was like a shiny new penny. Man do I miss this truck.Less then 8 months later: TOTALLED ( I put the sign on it to let the neighbors know it was not my fault)Always wanted a nice long bed, std cab, 4x4 F150, 302/5spd with about 31" tires? Just sit'n up "Nice".My lastest daily driver is my '89. Not my favorite bodystyle, but it is so clean I couldn't pass it up. 302/automatic, had 70K miles.You could eat off the framerails when I bought it. Not as much as a scratch of rust anywhere on it. I oil spray it constantly now to make sure it hangs around. Been 4 yrs now? Ready to turn 150K miles. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
