This 1997 Ford F-250 is a clean, well-sorted example of the legendary 7.3L Powerstroke—arguably one of the most dependable diesel platforms ever built. Showing 213,000 miles, this truck has been thoughtfully upgraded and maintained over the past decade by its current owner, transforming it into a capable, modernized OBS that still retains its classic appeal. Backed by a 4WD drivetrain and automatic transmission (rebuilt at 185k miles), it’s a truck you can confidently put to work or enjoy on the weekends.
Under the hood, the proven 7.3L Powerstroke is enhanced with a handful of tasteful performance upgrades, including an S&B cold air intake, 5” stainless steel turbo-back exhaust with a 6” tip, and a TS 5-position chip—giving you flexibility in tuning and improved overall drivability. Importantly, the truck was completely stock prior to the current ownership, making these upgrades a well-planned evolution rather than a heavily modified or abused setup.
The exterior presents well, thanks to a full repaint completed just two years ago in Ford’s Agate Black. It sits with a strong stance on 20” Fuel Maverick wheels wrapped in 33x12.50 Fury M/T tires with less than 3,000 miles. Modern touches like 2008–2010 Super Duty front and rear bumpers give the truck a more aggressive, updated look, while OBS Solutions mudflap/rock guards add both protection and utility. The addition of OBS Solutions dual mirror plates paired with Boost Auto GM-style tow mirrors (fully wired) brings both function and improved visibility.
Inside, the truck has been upgraded for comfort and usability with a custom interior featuring Super Duty captain’s chairs and a 2005–2007 Super Duty steering wheel, blending newer ergonomics with the classic OBS layout. The result is a cabin that feels far more modern than its model year suggests, while still staying true to the truck’s roots.
Whether you’re looking for a reliable diesel workhorse, a clean OBS build, or a head-turning daily, this F-250 checks all the boxes. With its documented upgrades, refreshed cosmetics, and proven drivetrain, it represents a great opportunity to own a dialed-in 7.3 that’s ready for its next chapter.
