Body is in good shape - body panels are straight and fit well. There is one area of filler showing on the right door and a small dent right behind the door (see photo and video)  Looks like someone had a accident in just that door and had it fixed a long time ago.  Extra passenger door comes with truck (solid and straight).  Seat cover is torn on driver’s side (split bench seat has been put in).  Passenger door panel also comes with truck.

 

Floor pans will need work as seen in photos.  Included in auction are some original donor floor pans (see photos)

 

Dash pad is in pretty good shape, one very small crack.

 

Gas gauge still works well.

 

Truck was built at Norfolk, Virginia and factory color is Dark Brown Metallic with custom pinstripes.

 

This 1978 Ford Truck has numbers matching motor (351 V-8) and 4 speed manual transmission.  The truck with power steering and power brakes (both work good).  The undercarriage is in good shape, surface rust only.

 

 Truck comes with restored factory wheels and brand new white letter tires.

This truck is an excellent candidate for a customized truck that needs little body work and little mechanical work.

 

Please ask any questions for more information and if needed, more pictures.  This is a 36 year old truck that has never been restored.  It has very solid original sheet metal.  The paint still has a decent shine to it.

Ford Explorer is America's new favorite police car

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

There is a new vehicle that you should keep an eye out for when you're going a little too fast down the Interstate. Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility was the bestselling new law enforcement model in the country last year, and signs show that won't be changing anytime soon.
Ford sold 14,086 Interceptor Utilities in 2013, up 140% from the year before, and 10,897 Interceptor Sedans, up 31%, according to USA Today. Overall, the brand's police sales were up 48 percent, and they were enough to boost the company's law enforcement vehicle market share by 9 points to nearly 50 percent.
The success comes just a few years after it made the decision to finally retire the long-serving Crown Victoria-based cruiser for two more modern vehicles. "We had to reinvent the category," said Chris Terry of Ford Communications to Autoblog. The automaker had to convince police departments that a unibody chassis without a V8 could perform better than a model that had been a law enforcement staple for years.

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
