1974 F-100 Super Cab Barn Find
Survivor One Family Owned truck
No rust very solid

This is the story I got on this awesome rare super cab one owner truck
It was bought brand new in 1974. Same old man owned it all the way up until 2012 when he got sick and was having health problems. At that point due to insurance purposes the truck was removed from his name and put in another family members name. So to me its still a one owner since it stayed in the same family. I found the truck parked in an old garage and it had been sitting there for the last four years untouched. The gas in the tank was so dead I was suprised it would even crank. The previous owner has done some work on it and I have done some work as well. I am going to do my best to describe the truck as accurate as possible. This is a rare truck that is a super cab and has factory a/c, power steering, power brakes, and is a solid rust free body. I havent seen a bit of rust anywhere. It still needs some work but you will not find a better truck to start with anywhere than this one for the money.  Here is a list of parts I can see new that the previous owner done to the truck
New radiator
New starter
New solonoid 
New Battery

I have added the following parts
New plugs
New wires
New fuel filter on the carb
Cleaned the carb with spray carb cleaner
Fresh gas
The truck will fire and run but it still has a terrible miss and is making a pecking noise on the top end. Not sure if its lifters or rockers or what. I ran the firing order and it is all right as far as I can tell. The truck is still missing bad. So I would recommend hauling or towing it to your home. The dead gas could still be an issue not sure.  If I had to guess I would say it would be best to rebuild the engine. I also noticed the heater core is leaking so I unhooked the heater hoses and hooked them together to let them recirculate. I also noticed the master cylinder is leaking so it will need a new one of those. I priced a new booster and master at Autozone for $99. The body is almost flawless. The previous owner said the truck was repainted about 10 years ago. The paint doesnt look bad and with a good buff job would probaly clean up and look good. The passenger front fender has a dent from the old man hitting something before he stopped driving it the family member was not sure what he bumped with it. Looks like you could pop most of it out with a little work. The rear part of the bed on the passenger side also has a bump from the old man and it knocked off the lower trim piece. Other than those two areas there is a small dent in the roof that would be easy to pop out. Those are the only places I have seen. I crawled all under the truck and its as solid as it was the day it rolled off the showroom floor. I have took pictures from all angles of the truck for everyone to see. The interior is almost perfect. The rear seat looks as if no one as ever been back there. The headliner is nice and the front seat has a cover on it. I noticed one little area under the cover on the drivers side from people getting in and out other than that the front seat appears in great shape. The truck has a rubber mat down on the floor with the original rubber floor mat. The owners manual and all books are also included. This truck is sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. Again this is a solid one owner truck and would make a great restoration project for someone. Like I said the engine needs some attention. I am not a motor man but just what I see and think it would be best to rebuild it or change to another engine.  The blower motor for the heat and air is not working it may be a fuse but I have not checked it. Everything else appears to be working all the gauge lights headlights tailights interior light horn etc all works. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures just email or call or text. I will be glad to send them to you. Thanks and good luck bidding. 828-217-2546

Ford To Unveil Solar Hybrid Concept Car At CES

Thu, Jan 2 2014

Ford plans to unveil at this month's International CES gadget show a solar-powered concept car that offers the same performance as a plug-in hybrid but without the need for a plug. The C-Max Solar Energi Concept car uses a gasoline engine combined with a gizmo that acts like a magnifying glass to concentrate the sun's rays on the vehicle's roof-mounted solar panels. The automaker says the vehicle's estimated combined city-highway mileage is 100 miles (160 kilometers) per gallon. The U.S. auto maker says that by using solar power instead of an electric plug, a typical owner will reduce their annual greenhouse gas emissions by four metric tons. The company says it sold about 85,000 hybrid or electric vehicles in 2013, including 6,300 units of its C-Max Energi plug-in hybrid. The sun-ray concentrator was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and uses what is known as a Fresnel lens, which concentrates light but can be made thinner than a conventional lens. A full day of sunshine is equivalent to a four-hour battery charge, or 8 kilowatts, Ford says. On a full charge, it should have a range of 620 miles (997 kilometers), the same as the C-Max Energi. The concept car also comes with a plug-in port for standard electric charging. Ford says that 75 percent of all trips made by an average driver could be powered by the sun. After showing off the concept car at the convention in Las Vegas Jan. 7-10, Ford Motor Co. says that it will test the vehicle with institute researchers to determine if it's feasible for mass production.

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
