I love this truck. It was a gift from my wife for my 70th birthday. It always starts right up and runs great. Cruises right along just fine even at 70mph. Drives straight down the road and stops straight. Power steering conversion kit. Power disk brake kit, disk in front and drum in rear. It is an older restoration with some modifications. Reverse chrome rims (I love the look of chrome reverse rims) with baby moons. Original gas gauge and speedometer/odometer work. Mileage shows 74,139 and that is probably very close for the chassis/body but the engine is not original-its' a 351 Cleveland but I don't know what year. Supplemental oil, temp and amp gauges work. Turn signals work although sometimes when you turn left it doesn't automatically cancel. Windshield wipers work fine. Headlights and tail lights work. Tilt wheel. Interior is very tastefully finished with gray/maroon vinyl that looks like leather.
The 351C Ford engine has been rebuilt and increased to 400 with a C6 transmission that shifts very smoothly. Running boards are new fiberglass. Gas tank is also new. Rear end is Dodge 8&3/4 inch limited slip. Bed floor is oak with metal strips and although the oak looks good in the pics, in my opinion the oak needs to be refinished. The bed on this truck is not the original as you can see in the pics. I don't know if it is a reproduction or from another kind of truck. You can see that the top of the sides is flat rather than slanted. I like it this way but have never seen another of this vintage with this "feature". Has a B&M shifter. Glass is all good and looks new to me with tint on sides and back window. Dual exhaust sounds really nice. The paint job is quite old (not sure when it was painted) and has some scratches, nicks, chips, cracks but looks really good from a few feet away. I'm embarrassed to say that the color is a Chrysler color. It shines up really well.
Instead of chains on the tailgate, I put nylon ropes because I didn't want the metal chains banging against the gate. Has a Sony radio with cassette player (nothing special) and seems to work OK but I can't figure out how to set the time on the display. There is a picture of it but I have to tell you that there is a screw through the roof. You can't see it till you get in the bed and look down on it or unless you are seven feet tall. I didn't find this till I had owned it for about six months. I have no idea why it's there. I'm trying to think of something else to say but can't. Email me with questions. I don't have anything to hide.
As with all cars/trucks sold on ebay, there is no warrantee/guarantee, etc. I believe the terminology is "as is/where is". I have tried to give you a truthful and detailed description of this truck but please don't hesitate to email me with questions. Or come and take a look and drive it. Buyer is of course responsible for shipping or pickup. I need a non-refundable $1000 deposit within 48 hours via paypal and then the rest in certified cashiers bank check or cash in the next five days. Unlike all the dealers seem to be doing these days, I am not going to charge you a "doc" fee.
Now for the problem.................... Why am I selling this truck if I like it so much???????????It's my wife (the little sweetheart). She hasn't bought into the concept of a collection and won't let me have more than one classic car/truck at a time (bummer) and I have my eye on a Ranchero. And, she won't let me buy it till I have this one sold even if I promise to sell it right after the new one arrives. Double bummer....................... |

2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
Ford recalls 591,177 vehicles in four separate campaigns
Wed, Apr 29 2015Ford is issuing recalls for a total of 591,177 vehicles worldwide, in four separate campaigns. The announcement comes just days after the discovery of door-latch problems in 390,000 of the automaker's cars. The largest of these new recalls covers 518,313 examples of the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ from the 2013-2015 model years, plus the 2015 Edge. Of these, 487,301 of are in the US and 31,012 are in Canada. For vehicles in cold-weather areas, the bolts that hold the steering gear motor can corrode and fracture. If this happens, it could cause the power steering to fail, but manual control would be retained. There are no reported accidents or injuries from this problem. To fix things, dealers will replace the bolts and seal them. The next campaign covers 50,157 examples of the 2014 Focus, Edge, Escape, and Transit Connect, plus the Fiesta from 2014 and 2015. Of these, 45,505 are in the US, 4,618 in Canada, and 34 in Mexico. All of them exhibit a problem with the fuel pump where the nickel plating can cause the part to seize and the engine to stall, if this occurs. (All of which sounds like recent problems with Nissan and BMW models.) According to Ford, there is one allegation of an accident from this problem. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module to fix the problem. Ford is also recalling 22,616 units of the 2015 Lincoln MKZ because when the headlights are on, the parking lamps are brighter than they are allowed to be. The light could affect the vision of other drivers. This campaign includes 21,435 of them in the US, 1,066 in Canada and 115 in Mexico. There are no accidents or injuries from the issue, but Ford is updating the software to dim the lights on these sedans. Finally, Ford has a safety campaign for 91 examples of the 2015 F-150 because an underbody heat shield might not be properly installed or not present at all, which can be a fire risk. There are no reports of any actual accidents or fires, though. The affected pickups will have the parts replaced or added, as necessary after a dealer inspection. To see the specific build dates for the models affected by each of these campaigns, you can read about them in the press release below.

New 2020 Ford Explorer, Lincoln Aviator recalled for minor safety issues
Wed, Aug 7 2019Ford has announced a small recall on 2020 Explorers and 2020 Lincoln Aviators. Select units might be missing a manual park release cover, while others might have instrument clusters stuck in Factory Mode. The recall affects 14,135 SUVs in total. While a vehicle is in production in a manufacturing facility, Ford might put them in what is known as Factory Mode to help reduce battery drain. Affecting the instrument cluster, this mode disables warning alerts, warning chimes, and does not show the PRNDL gear selector display. Ford says one vehicle was in an accident at a production facility as a result of the issue, but nobody was injured. Separately, Ford found that some of these Explorers and Aviators might be lacking a manual park release cover. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require a manual park release cover that is only removable with a tool. Without the cover, there is a very minor chance the manual park release could be accidentally actuated, which could allow the vehicle to move on its own. The recalls affect 13,896 vehicles in the U.S. and 239 in Canada. The Explorers were built between March 27, 2019, and July 24, 2019. The Aviators were built between April 10, 2019, and July 24, 2019. Owners can use Ford's recall number 19C06, and if affected, can take their vehicles in for fixes.
