LOW RESERVE 1971 FORD BRONCO SPORT

The truck was painted and restored in 2004 and has been mostly garage kept since.  The restoration was not a perfect or complete restoration, the body work is not perfect, and the paint is not perfect.  It was designed to be a driver for nice days and for the beach.  I drive the truck with historic tags.  It starts every time and drivetrain is very strong. 
The bronco is actually a combination of two different trucks. The chassis is a 1975 and the body is a 1972. The 1975 chassis and drivertrain has only ~40,000 miles on it but the body required significant rust repair so it was swapped with a more solid 1972 body. The chassis was sanded and painted with POR15 and shows very minimal rust. The body has had several panels replaced. The door posts and jams are rusted and would need to be replaced to put original Bronco doors on it.  The truck already has the door inserts, so if you require a top a soft top and soft doors would probably be best.  
The truck runs very strong.  The brakes need to be adjusted and it would need taillight repair to make it a nice beach/ nice weather vehicle.  I would consider it a good daily driver at the beach or during nice weather if the truck had its brakes tuned, the steering linkage stabilizer bushings replaced,  and taillight/blinker repair; which, is work that should be pretty minor.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
