1997 Ford F700 Reel Loader Truck

1997 Ford F700 Reel Loader with 7.0L V8 gas engine, 5-speed manual, 2-speed rear, showing 42,894 miles, runs and moves but has exterior corrosion and the front bins are cut off. Utility fleet buyers and parts salvagers typically pick up these heavy-duty trucks for scrap value, drivetrain cores, or rebuild potential. Inspect all rust damage in the photos, verify the engine actually starts and idles cleanly since it's been sitting, and confirm the bins were factory-cut or deliberately removed before committing.
