“Single rear wheel. Dual rear wheel. Short bed. Long Bed. Regular cab. SuperCab. Crew Cab. Chassis Cab. 4×2. 4×4. Five new dual-rear-wheel 4x4s. And six models available nowhere else. With the Super Duty F-350, the variety seems endless.” A brochure touts Ford’s Super Duty models, and this 1999 F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab Lariat 4×4 Dually Diesel is posted here on craigslist in Laveen, Arizona, and they’re asking $15,000 cash. Here is the original listing.
For the 1999 model year, Ford kicked things up a notch and added a line of Super Duty trucks above the popular consumer trucks, such as the F-150 and F-250. The Super Duty line consisted of trucks from the F-250 up to the F-600, and the F-250 through F-450 were available as pickups, and the F-350 through F-600 could be had as chassis cab trucks. This Lariat has standard power folding side mirrors, along with many other features of that top-trim level. Eagle-eyed readers may not have realized that I pride myself on making sure the titles are just one line, but this truck has so many features that I had to wrap it around to another line.
A truck whose length is as long as its name, this Dark Hunter Green Metallic 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab Lariat 4×4 Dually Diesel is 21.5 feet long with a 172.5-inch wheelbase. Wow. The seller provided very, very nice photos for a craigslist ad, but we don’t get to see the rear of this truck at all, and there are no photos showing inside the bed. Their description lists a fifth-wheel louvered tailgate, a gooseneck hitch, and a spray-in bedliner. I have to assume it’s as nice back there as the rest of this gorgeous tough truck appears to be.
The Lariat is the top trim level, and this interior has been redone. The seats appear to be vinyl (reupholstered) and in perfect condition, both front and rear. They say it has new seat covers, a new headliner, and new carpet. I did notice a worn spot above the left armrest in the back, but that shouldn’t be a big deal to replace. We saw a nice SuperCab version of this truck a couple of months ago here on Barn Finds, and it was priced much higher than this gorgeous green example is.
The clean engine is Ford and International’s 7.3-cu.in. OHV V8 turbodiesel, which was rated at 235 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque when new. Backed by a two-speed transfer case and a four-speed automatic, power is sent to all four wheels as needed. The seller lists an incredible array of maintenance and upgrades, so please click on the craigslist ad to see it all. Would any of you have a need for this big, beautiful brute of an F-350?
Beauty Ford. The loaded Hillbilly deluxe pkg. Autoloader and 4wd on the dial.
Good looking Super Duty. High miles but doesn’t look it. Has had tons of maintenance. I wonder how many miles this truck could go if one keeps after the maintenance. Large and in charge; no parking in those tiny parking spaces which seem so common today.
Thanks SG.
America sure is known for many things, including the most bad aXX pickups made. Funny, looking at the, say, Champ, are they from the same planet? I believe this would be the Powerstroke diesel, new for ’99, ( turbo waste gate and intercooler) and while 235 HP doesn’t sound like much, it’s 500 ft.lbs. of torque that gets you over the hill. I read, this was the most expensive pickup offered in ’99, with a MSRP of almost $36,000! Almost DOUBLE what a F-150 cost. These were very popular with the “horsey” set, and why this probably still looks so nice. If you are in the market for something like this, I wouldn’t drag your feet. Beautiful truck!
Howard you can practically picture the thoroughbred 🐴 standing behind this rig in the Ford brochure lol.
The “COWBOY CONTINENTAL,” training wheels and all. Come to the rodeo, bull riding competitions or even the barrel racing events and you’ll see more than your share of these beasts. All diesels, and all, quite likely performance-chipped into the stratosphere. That was OK, the 7.3 Powerstroke could take it. The transmission often objected but actually held up quite well, considering that most of them were now transmitting over 300 hp.
Wait until ’03 and the anemic 6.0 PowerJOKE got unleashed on an unsuspecting public and a lot of people were likely going to get highly agitated. The 6.0 Liter engine did a lot of damage to Ford’s reputation but there was little that Ford could do. Navistar couldn’t meet the emission regs so it did the best it could with what it had. At the same time Chrysler had an airtight contract with Cummins that ensured that Fords would never be powered by the famed “Columbus Vibrator.”
Ford had its own engine in the testing phase but still had a long way to go before it could sell it. Well, the engine performed like a champ but there were some people in Washington who figured that every truck should NOW be powered by an Electrolux.
The bell finally rang and the new Powerstroke was out of the gate, never to be bested again.
Of course there’s this truck, which is no slouch. You give it the fuel; it will take you to the moon and back.
