Transmission---3 speed on the column

Brakes---manual drum

Steering---manual

Complete body-off restoration. We bought this F100 from the original owner with no intentions of doing a restoration. We were just going to clean it up a little. After realizing how solid this truck was we decided to restore it. We removed the body and bed and had the inside and under-side of the bed media blasted. The inside floor of the bed was extremely solid with just some light pitting. The underside was just as nice. The lower sides in front of and behind the tires were perfect with only a couple of pin-holes that showed up after the blasting. The floor of the cab was solid with only a small spot on the drivers floor that had began to show signs of rust. I removed the spot and replaced it with a 6"x6" patch (didn't really need it but did it anyway). We had the entire truck sanded and repainted the original Boxwood Green. We painted the underside of the bed but left the cab underside original. You can still see some of the original paint on the bottom of the cab. The body panels had no dents (other than a couple of small dings) so no body filler needed to be used other than a light skim-coat to make sure everything was smooth. We wanted to use as many of the original parts as we could so we only replaced the body-side molding and the front hood lip molding. The front grill, window chrome, emblems and all the glass is original to the truck. The truck has the complete original interior (still has the original FoMoCo rubber mat) except for a dash cover. The seat has a few small splits in the stitching (as you can see in the pictures) but we did not replace it because you cannot find the original material. The AM radio still works. The cigarette lighter doesn't look like it has ever been used. We replaced all the window and door rubbers. We put 8" wheels with bands and dog dish caps to give the truck a little better look. We replaced all 4 shocks, both rear leaf springs and some bushings to help with the ride. The engine is original to the truck and runs and sounds great. I put a new head gasket and intake gasket on the engine and that was all I had to do to the engine.

This is a very solid and great running truck. This is not a $25000 restoration but if you are looking for a great truck that will turn heads and you will be proud to drive then this is the truck for you. I have tried to describe in detail as much as I can. I am sure I have left something out but I don't like to "over sell" something. Let the pictures tell you the rest.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For

Ford, Volvo join Redwood in EV battery recycling push in California

Mon, Feb 21 2022

Ford and Volvo will join battery recycling startup Redwood Materials in developing processes, starting in California, to collect end-of-life batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles and recover the materials for use in new batteries, the companies said Thursday. Redwood Materials, co-founded by former Tesla executive JB Straubel, formed an earlier partnership last fall with Ford to develop a “closed loopÂ” or circular supply chain for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, from raw materials to recycling. On Thursday, Redwood Materials said it would work directly with dealers and dismantlers in California to identify and recover end-of-life battery packs. The materials in those packs will be recovered and recycled at Redwood Materials facilities in northern Nevada. U.S. automakers Ford and General Motors Co (GM) have said the battery recycling effort is crucial in efforts to develop a domestic supply chain to meet increasing EV demand. GM and battery partner LG Energy Solution last year announced a partnership with startup Li-Cycle to recycle battery scrap material from Ultium Cells, the GM-LG joint venture that is building battery plants in Ohio, Tennessee and Michigan. Redwood Materials has similar partnerships with battery makers Panasonic in Nevada and Envision AESC in Tennessee, as well as with Amazon. Ford and Amazon are among the investors in Redwood Materials. Reporting by Paul Lienert in Detroit; Editing by Mark Potter Green Ford Volvo Green Automakers Electric

Mustang Alley is where to corral your pony at the Woodward Dream Cruise

Thu, Sep 17 2015

Car Club USA travels to metro Detroit for the Woodward Dream Cruise, where Ford fans descend upon on Mustang Alley, situated at 9 Mile and Woodward. While the cruise welcomes cars of all makes and models, Mustang Alley invites owners to show off their 'Stangs while commingling with the engineers and designers who created the iconic pony car. "We got very excited as we worked on the (original) model and it was competition among ourselves," said clay modeler Giuliano Zuccato who worked on the first generation Mustang. "This is going to be a very special car." Of course, no Mustang video is complete without some high-speed fun. For that, we head to nearby Waterford Hills Raceway where road course newbie Jeff Bayer looks to push his modified 2010 Mustang GT to the limit. "I've kind of babied the car a little bit," said Jeff. "And I decided after having it for five years it's time to put some hard laps on it." Will Jeff and his 430 horsepower pony make it back in one piece? Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.
