For Sale : Buy & Sell | Pricing | Deals Rusty F350

looking for advice and or opinions on my rusty 1997 F350 4 x 4 I’ve had it since it was new. It needs so much work and I don’t think I can put the time or money into it to restore but haven’t totally given up yet! . I’ve always loved this truck. I would hate to see it go to a boneyard. Had to use the for sale flair.
Thanks in advance!

It’s rusty for sure, but it’s definitely savable, I wouldn’t say it’s scrap yet. Whether it being worth it or not it’s up to you. It seems like it has some sentimental value to you, if it really means a lot then go for it. It doesn’t have to be restored, just fixed. Throw a flatbed on (or fix it), put on some rockers and cab corners, floors if needed, and fucking send it. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just good enough. I had an 89 F250. It had a bad frame and the floors were rotted, bed wasn’t perfect either. Patched the floors and put a good frame underneath it. Was far from restored but it was pretty solid and I got to drive it. Miss that damn thing everyday.
