Overview of 1997 Ford F-350 XL "The Lil Pete" Custom Build For Sale by Owner

This is a 1997 Ford F-350 XL Crew Cab that’s been transformed into something truly unique. Nicknamed “Lil Pete,” this one-off build combines the soul of a big rig with the trusted bones of Ford’s iconic heavy-duty pickup. With a 7.3L Power Stroke V8 diesel engine, AWD drivetrain, and a fully custom “Lil Pete” body kit from Lil Big Rig, this isn’t just a truck. Its a rolling conversation starter. Currently located in Fargo, North Dakota, this professionally reimagined hauler was built by Sir Thomas Performance of Port Charlotte, Florida (Serial #00780) and features a blend of show-stopping looks and long-haul toughness.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior, finished in a striking shade of blue, is anything but ordinary. The Lil Pete body kit replaces the standard F-350 shell with an elaborate big rig-inspired transformation. Up front, a custom front bumper, round 7” headlights, and an 8-inch drop visor give it a commanding presence, while Jr. West Coast mirrors and a five-light cab light set nod to classic long-haul rigs. The extended sleeper cab conversion includes a rear window, dual side windows, and a sleeper door assembly with power windows for added flair and functionality. A 7’6” rear deck cover, tandem rear fenders, air ride spring suspension, and dual stainless steel air intakes bring true big-rig proportions to life, while exhaust stacks and polished/satin fuel tanks finish the look with unmistakable semi-truck swagger. Also included is a custom-built “Freedom Trailer” with an electric lowering door and winch setup, making this a true turnkey rig-and-trailer combo. Inside, the transformation continues. The gray and white cabin upholstery, done by American Custom Upholstery in North Port, Florida, adds refinement to the industrial silhouette. The cockpit features a custom shifter, Stewart Warner 6-gauge set, air conditioning system with dash vents and defrosters, and a GPS interface module, blending function with vintage trucking flair.

Engine

With over 243,000 miles on the odometer, the legendary 7.3L V8 diesel still pulls strong, these engines are known for their bulletproof reliability, and is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
