1975 FORD 1/2 TON 4X4 RANGER.

There are a lot of these old fords out there for sale, but the majority of them are beat, rusty, abused or all of the above. I've owned many and look for them all the time and rarely see them for sale this clean. It is especially to find a 4x4 in this solid. There are more clean 2wd's out there but the 4x4's were generally used hard as they were intended to be. The truck is mostly original, solid, and straigh. It runs great and has the V8 with automatic transmission. This was an old grandpa truck and still has the original hubcaps. This is a great ford to drive as is but a perfect candidate for an easy restoration.

 

I HAVE MANY MORE PICS AND A VIDEO OF THE TRUCK IN A LINK I CAN SEND YOU. EBAY HAS CHANGED IT'S POLICIES AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THE LINK IN THE LISTING NOW.

 

MECHANICAL

The truck runs great. The motor is most likely the original engine. It has the 360 V8. It does not smoke at all. No major leaks but has the usual seepage as most this old do. No noticeable dripping leaks. Runs smooth and cool. No water in the oil or anything like that. Oil pressure drops when warm but is still in the normal operating range. I'm sure the motor has many miles left to go, but it isn't new. It has no knocks or ticks. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to change all the fluids and do plugs/wires/cap/rotor and the other usual tuneup stuff. I don't know that it needs any of those things, but I don't know the last time they were done. Choke needs adjusted a bit but works. Starts up every time. Automatic transmission works fine. This ford has the full time 4x4. It works as it should. I know they are somewhat easy to convert to part time. I always liked them because they are similar to all wheel drive and you don't have to worry about swapping ends when it's slick. This has powersteering and brakes. No air. The ford drives good and has BRAND new tires. Less than 20 miles on them. Headlights, heater, wipers, turnsignals, etc. still work. This has a cd player and I never tried it but the lights work so it may work.  Gearing is most likely 3:50 ratio judging by how it goes down the road. I've had probably 20 or more old fords like this and I'm sure that is probably the ratio or close to that. Speedometer works and all other gauges. Exhaust is newer. Only three hubcaps are included.
That's all that it came with.



BODY


The body is very straight and has no rust. No bondo. This pickup was originally green. It was professionally painted in 1977. There is no sign of filler at all and it's obvious that the paint job is almost as old as the pickup. The interior, jams, under hood, pretty much everything was repainted red. Interior was green and painted black at the time with vinyl paint. It's wearing through after 37 years. The inside of the box is not dented and looks to have been used lightly. Box, tailgage, cab, floors, cab mounts, hood, roof, firewall, fenders, inner fenders, doors, frame etc. etc. are in nice shape. Pictures in the link show the underside of the cab. Nothing that may look like rust, is rust. It is just dirt or undercoating peeling off. This truck is as dry as you'll find.


INTERIOR

The interior is in usable condition but has the usual wear of an unrestored pickup this old. The seat has been recovered at some point. Floormat, headliner, dash, and doorpanels are usable. Dash is uncut with exception of cd player being put in.


OVERALL

This truck is in good shape and I know they don't come along very often this solid and original. The f100's are really getting harder to find than highboys. I like highboys also, but they have lower gearing and ride rougher. I would cruise this truck as-is. It is also is a a great candidate for an original restoration.

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.

2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Supercrew

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

I'm not normally a pickup kind of guy, but the 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor won me over nearly instantly. The street-legal trophy truck - there is really no other way to accurately describe it - is big, brawny and incredibly capable. Let's just say it's every bit the monster it visually portrays. I spent a week pretending I was one of Ford's Baja 1000 drivers, but lacking desert sand, I headed into the local mountains where a mild winter storm had dropped a couple inches of fresh snow on my favorite off-road park. The Ford was, for the most part, practically unstoppable.
Ford offers its SVT Raptor package on Supercab and Supercrew platforms with the five-foot, five-inch bed. The Supercrew I tested rides on a 144-inch wheelbase (about a foot longer than the Supercab). In addition to its cosmetic differences when compared to the standard F-150 - there isn't a young boy on the planet who doesn't think the matte black Ford grille is cool - the Raptor has a 73.6-inch track - nearly seven inches wider than the track on the standard F-150.
After upgrading the F-150 SVT Raptor significantly for the 2012 model year, there are only a few changes for 2013. The list includes standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps, Hill Descent Control, forged beadlock-capable wheels, and the new matte Terrain color (aka "Desert Storm") option seen on my test model.
