What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Ford F350 Regular Cab

"Good and reliable machine. Strong, a mans truck"

"I have owned a couple of OBS trucks amd they are solid trucks. They are very capable of doing the same work a modern truck does with a lot less of a price tag. I have owned 2 7.3 PS trucks and have driven them all over the U. S without trouble. If an owner keeps up on the expensive maintainence, the truck will last a long long time."

"1992 Ford F350 Diesel 7.3 L IDI Excellent Vehicle"

"I've owned this vehicle over 21 Yrs. Still love it. Only requires regular maintenance. Has over 550,000 Km's on it. I drive all over the Province of BC and into Alberta working as a Welding Inspector in all weather conditions. It's been very dependable for me. Also hauls my boat and camper when it's time to play. Purchased it for $18,000 back in 1995. Trucks now days are $80,000 brand new. Guess I'll be driving the old girl a little longer."
