To make this tractor related, I do-have hauled tractor parts and of course tools to work on tractors:

I would like to acquire another 1997 - 2002 Ford F-150; [b:f6fe4d7826][i:f6fe4d7826][u:f6fe4d7826]MUST[/u:f6fe4d7826][/i:f6fe4d7826][/b:f6fe4d7826] be rear wheel drive as I'm old enough to know how to drive and remember when folks didn't have nor need anything but. I also want red exterior with grey interior; chrome mirrors, grill and bumpers. My '98 has engine compartment rust issues. I'm looking for something from out of the 'salt zone' or in the snow belt w/o a lot of rust. I would prefer something with ~ 25,000 miles, no rust and had been driven by an elderly gentleman or lady to church, Farm and Fleet and breakfast. :lol:

I bought my current pickup with 123,000 miles, 4.2 liter engine, five-speed transmission on June 9, 2010 and it now has 177,440 miles with radiator support rust issues.

Time to take it to the Amish bakery for some goodies...enjoy your day folks!
 
I think I feel your pain. You will get very lucky if you make such a find. I had just what you are calling for but alas it had over 200 thousand miles when I traded it in. Do not shy away from the newer models with the Aluminum bodies and 6 cylinder Turbo Boost. I have a 2015 and like it much better than the 4.6 V-8 for towing. The 23 mpg is not bad either.
 
Those bullet nose Fords were good trucks. Especially the ones with the Triton 5.4 V8. I think you are being a little unrealistic to think you are going to find the exact truck you specify with low miles and in good condition. Those trucks are getting old and most of them are getting pretty tired. If you were happy with those trucks I wouldn't hesitate to look at the newer Fords. I am not a Ford man but the F-150 has continued to be an extremely popular seller. There must be a reason.
