This 1997 Ford F-350 XLT Powerstroke Diesel is an exceptional example of a classic OBS Super Duty that has undergone a no-expense-spared, full frame-off restoration, blending vintage Ford toughness with modern upgrades and custom craftsmanship. Finished in a striking custom two-tone blue and white exterior over a gray interior, this truck presents at a level far beyond a typical restoration, offering both show-quality appearance and serious mechanical integrity.

At its core is a professionally rebuilt 7.3L Powerstroke diesel, paired with a rebuilt transmission and fully refreshed drivetrain, including rebuilt Dana 60 front and Dana 80 rear axles. The truck benefits from all-new suspension components, ensuring tight, confident road manners, while the braking system has been comprehensively updated with new brakes, lines, master cylinder, and booster. Reliability upgrades include new batteries, sensors, fuel pump, and oil pumps, making this F-350 mechanically dialed-in and ready for real-world use or long-distance cruising.

Inside, the cabin has been completely transformed with a custom Katskin leather interior, new carpet, and a custom white instrument cluster with matching speedometer and odometer, professionally calibrated to account for the 18-inch wheels. Modern amenities are seamlessly integrated thanks to a Clarion touchscreen double-DIN stereo, delivering contemporary audio functionality while preserving a clean, tailored interior aesthetic. Every detail reflects thoughtful craftsmanship, balancing originality with tasteful modernization.

The exterior receives equally impressive attention, featuring a custom-fitted 2010 Ford front bumper with new pad, fog lights, and tow hooks, complemented by a matching custom rear bumper for a cohesive, modernized look. Performance and sound are enhanced with a 3-inch downpipe and 4-inch stainless steel exhaust, while a custom OBS Solutions tailgate panel adds a finishing touch unique to this build. The truck rides on custom-fitted 2020 factory Ford wheels, wrapped in brand-new Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTZ tires, giving it a commanding stance that perfectly matches its capability.

This 1997 F-350 Powerstroke XLT represents the best of both worlds—legendary 7.3 durability, fully rebuilt mechanicals, modern comfort, and one-off custom styling. Whether destined for shows, collection, or confident daily enjoyment, this truck stands as a truly standout example of what a properly restored OBS Ford should be.
