Hi all,
I've been looking for a 96-97 F250 for some time. But, living in central NY, everything of that era is more holes than truck(damn salt!!!). So my son,who lives in Idaho, found a 96 that has no rust and in great shape. Still has the factory paint inside fenders and frame.
I'm going to try and show you guys photos if I can figure it out. I do need new snow tires(265-75-16") so if you know the place place on-line to find a good deal, I would be greatful. I'm sure I'll be back with lots of questions.
Thanks, Oakfall

Welcome to FTF!
you will like that tire size, a little wider than the factory size but almost the exact height so will not effect anything with your speedo or gearing.

Welcome to FTF - that salt seems to make a real mess of things

Welcome to FTF!! Same Salt issues here in the Buckeye State,Finding a good used rust free vehicle here is just about impossible.The good ones go very quickly around here.

Hope to keep it rust free for as long as possible. Thought I'd try Krown undercoating.Sounds like a good product?

Welcome! Here in MA we have bad rust issues too, makes me wanna cry!
I recommend Kelly tires, I run the Safari TSR model on my 1997 F250 HD 4x4 and I love them.
