1968 Ford, F-100 Stepside, Short Bed, Big Block, Automatic, Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1968 Ford, F-100 step side, short bed truck. The truck was a one owner truck until 2010 and has only 79K original miles. The truck was purchased off of the showroom floor in San Jose California as the family's second vehicle and it comes with the 2 original keys and "original" dated, owner's manual. The engine is a 360 big block engine with an automatic transmission. The truck is pretty much original with the exception of the west coast mirrors and the dual exhaust. The rear bumper was either a factory or dealer option, but did come new with the truck. The interior has been updated with a new seat cover, arm rest and dash cover, otherwise everything is original with the truck when new. The brake system has been gone thru completely and the radiator and starter have been replaced. The tires have plenty of good life left in them. The truck does not squeak or rattle when driving down the road and is a true attention getter in any setting. Pretty much everything on the truck works except the horn and maybe an interior light? The original AM radio truck, gauges and knobs are all intact and functioning. The truck looks to have had some paint work done to one of the doors years ago, but can't really tell what damage was done. Although the truck runs nice, it has been sitting for well over a year and has developed an oil leak. I am pretty sure that it is the front main seal, but since driving the truck today, it has slowed or stopped. I replaced the battery today and the truck started and runs good, except for some minor hesitation when accelerating. I have added some carb cleaner and expect that a little driving will clear everything back to normal. There is some surface rust "only"on the truck, but all easily repairable and only minor stuff. There are several small dents in the truck, but again, nothing major. The door hinges are tight as can be and it runs and drives smooth. The doors all close tight and the windows and seals are all in great shape. The bed is the original wood from the factory, but the 2 outer boards need to be replaced. I am out of garage space and the truck needs to find a new home. This is a nice truck that can be pretty much left "as is" or is a great candidate for a total restoration. I have a clear Florida title in hand and a $500 PayPal deposit is due within 24 hours of the close of the auction. The deposit is non-refundable, so please ask all of the questions that you have before bidding. The balance is due within 7 days of the auction close. I can assist with getting the truck loaded on a car carrier as you may need. The truck is offered with no warranty and is also for sale locally and therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking!! |

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room
Fri, 08 Mar 2013A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
