This truck has been fun but I have a new project so I'm ready to let it go. I need to clear out the garage.
It has less than 52000 miles on it.

Long bed Flare Side (rare). Fords are Flare Sides, Chevys are Step Sides.
I have a side mount fender and spare tire mounting bracket for the truck that goes with it. The fender needs to be painted though. I think the addition of the side mount spare would look GREAT!

360 V8 2 barrel.
Dual Exhaust.
C6 automatic transmission. Shifts very smoothly.
Power steering.
Air conditioning. The air doesn't work right now but it is all there.
1 repaint in the original Wimbeldon White.

The truck is nearly rust free. There is an old bondo patch behind the right front wheel about 2" square.

There is a rust bubble beginning to form at the bottom outside of the passenger door. On the corner about the size of a dime. I took a photo of this but it is a poor one.

There was some rust along the inside of the bed on the flare that sits on the wooden bed. I suppose being out in the rain in its previous life the wood would hold water there. It has been ground and painted. it is no longer rusting but you can see where it was.

These spots are not a big deal at all but I want to be clear that they are there.

There is an oil leak in the timing cover seal. This causes it to throw a little oil that winds up on the right inside of the hood. The leak is very small, not enough oil is lost to be seen on the dip stick for many miles. It does mark it's spot on the garage floor.

The steering wheel is cracked and the horn button needs to be replaced.

It does not come with a radio.

I have described everything that is wrong with the truck but said very little about how nice it is.

It is a very nice old Ford.

It starts easily, It is a pleasure to drive. Drive it anywhere.
This truck is in very good condition. The pictures tell the story. It is beautiful.

Ready for the new owner to enjoy.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.
