Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to digitally present this 1997 Ford F-350 XLT
Up for sale is a classic 1997 Ford F-350 XLT Crew Cab, one of the most sought-after heavy-duty trucks from Ford's legendary OBS (Old Body Style) era. Combining rugged capability with the comfort of the premium XLT trim, this crew cab offers seating for the whole family while maintaining the durability and work ethic that made these trucks famous. Crew cab F-350 models were among the top configurations available in 1997 and remain highly desirable among collectors, truck enthusiasts, and diesel fans today.
The XLT package provides upgraded interior appointments, power features, chrome accents, and a comfortable cabin designed for both work and long-distance travel. The spacious four-door crew cab offers exceptional passenger room and practicality, making it an ideal truck for towing, hauling, road trips, or weekend cruising.
Built during the final year of the classic OBS body style, the 1997 F-350 has earned a reputation for reliability, simple mechanical design, and timeless styling. Whether you're looking for a dependable workhorse, a tow rig, or a collectible Ford truck, this F-350 delivers the strength and character that modern trucks often lack. Models were available with the legendary 7.3L Power Stroke diesel, big-block gasoline engines, and heavy-duty drivetrain options that helped establish the F-Series as America's best-selling truck line.
This truck represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ford truck history. Clean OBS crew cab F-350s continue to grow in popularity and value, especially well-maintained examples. If you've been searching for a classic heavy-duty pickup that combines vintage style, proven durability, and everyday usability, this XLT Crew Cab deserves a look.
