Up for auction we have a 1979 Ford E350 Cutaway that was formally a mobile communications unit for a local sheriff’s department. It was removed from service in 2010 and has only 12,000 miles as stated on the title. The van was maintained by the county maintenance department and runs well, and drives. It has several options like roof AC, roll out awning, internal wiring for a generator and breaker box, heavy duty antenna mount, emergency beacon lights, and work cubicles with chairs. I’m going to describe it in detail, and there are over 40 pics, so please read below.

Engine is a 351W which runs smooth and always starts on the first try. C6 trans feels good, brakes are firm and steering is smooth. The tires are 215/85-16.5 and have great tread, but are dry cracked on the sidewalls. The right inner rear tire will lose air when it sits for a few months, and the right front tire has a small nick in the sidewall but doesn’t lose air. There are stainless simulators on all 4 corners.

I have only driven the truck a few miles since I bought it last year, but there are no apparent mechanical issues that prevent it from being used.

The cab interior is clean with some general wear and cracks in the dash pad. Both spotlights work, and there are controls for the working Federal Jetsonic roof light – alley lights, rotating lights, etc, as well as a rear light bar with yellow and red lights that flash on several pre-set patterns. There's a CB radio which is untested, and a CB antenna behind the seat that mounts on the door or roof edge. Radio is a cheap aftermarket unit that works when it wants to.

Floors, rockers, cab mounts etc show no signs of heavy rust or repairs. Door bottoms have some flaky rust but no holes that I can find. At one point it was repainted from the factory Ford ivory to bright white. The paint looks good but could use a buffing, and decals were painted over. The box needs a good scrubbing but the finish is intact.

Heat works, AC does not (compressor doesn’t turn on). There may be a mouse nest in the heater box, as the setting for the dash vents doesn’t seems plugged up. Defrost and floor vents work, but occasionally there are bits of leaves that blow out occasionally, along with a little musty odor (only when heat is on).

Dash gauges all work, engine runs cool, good oil pressure and charging. Truck has dual tanks - front seems to work fine, rear is marked "gauge doesn't work".

The box body is built from a heavy steel tube frame with wood plank floor, and has insulated sides and roof. The center section has a false floor for running communications wires. Up front is an access panel for generator installation (generator and breaker panel were removed by the county before I bought it and a portion of the floor was left open). There is romex throughout the truck that runs to a number of 120v outlets at each of the work stations. The roof AC is untested but appears almost new. I believe it runs off the 120v setup. There’s a sliding divider that separates the cab and box.

The interior is dry, and aside from few stains in the ceiling tiles around the roof vent, there’s no signs of leaks or mildew. Swivel seats are like new. Rear door has 2 key locks, and keys are included.

On the outside, there’s a pair of hinge mounts, so its possible to probably remove the man-door and replace it with a pair of barn doors if you wanted to make into a straight truck. The rear body has fold out steps (slightly bent) and a steel frame to mount a large antenna.

As an added bonus, there’s a working awning on the driver’s side that folds out from the body and has removable legs that can be staked into the ground. The pull-down rod for the awning is included. The unit isn’t very old – maybe 10 years at most.

Overall this is a solid old truck with a variety of uses. Turn it into a mobile office, camper, hunting rig, or return it to use as a radio rig.

Clear Ohio title, and I’ll include a copy of the original title that’s pictured below.

Truck is located in New Richmond, Ohio, just east of Cincinnati, and is available for inspection by appointment. Reserve is reasonable and I generally prefer to let auctions run their course.

Thanks for looking!

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and Â“shatterproofÂ” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique Â“frunkgateÂ” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says

Fri, Jun 5 2015

The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.
