I am the 2nd. owner, I flew to OK. from FL. over 25 yrs. ago and drove it back to Fl., it had aprox. 60K on it, it now has 90K orig. miles. I sanded the orig. Ford paint off of it MYSELF, it had never been repainted, I have a book of pic's to show all the work I've done on it. I also have a log book with all part #'s and where I bought the parts. I put in all new glass, still all in perfect shape, I painted it over 20 yrs. ago, it's not a SHOW paint job, it is showing it's age, but a VERY good driver, I still clean it up and take it to local car shows, it draws a lot of lookers, they all ask if I made it a 4X4, it is the 1st. yr. for a FACTORY 4X4, there is a very few Ford 4X4's before 1959, but they are NOT Factory built. The truck sit for over 5 yrs. in my garage, while I was busy with the 53 COE in the pic's, I pulled it out and went thru all the brakes, wheel cyl's, master cyl., clutch master cyl., the clutch slave cyl., all new tires, oil change, this was all done about 1 yr. ago and I've been driving it weekly, the A/C just quit a few weeks ago, it is an aftermarket under dash unit, I put in all new hoses, new dryer & expansion valve, it's cooling fine, no overheating problem with the A/C running, even at idle in heavy traffic, the truck has NO history of over heating, even towing with it. I used it as an everyday driver for many yrs. and in my business towing boats, I had my own boats sales & service, I've towed around 6-7K lbs many times, it will pull in 4th gear as low as 15 MPH when towing. I did change out the pts. for an elec. setup, no more pts. to adjust. The truck runs GREAT, shifts fine, the 4 wheel drive works fine, it has Warn hubs on it.

There is few things that the truck needs, it's NOT perfect, the front springs have sagged a little, there is a pic. of the bump stop close to the springs, driving on paved roads it's OK, but hard bumps it will bottom out on the stops, I have NEVER run the truck OFFROAD, it has never been in the mud or sand, to much work in it for that, and I'm past that now, I'm over 60 yrs. old, LOL If you want to make it a SHOW truck, then you will want to repaint it.

I would drive it anywhere, in the pic's, you will see it at an idle, 40psi oil pressure. In the past I have driven it on a 2K mile trip, no problems at all.  It is not fast, it has all the orig. running gear under it, I drive it around 55-60 mph, it does fine. I really think you will not find a better orig. Ford 4X4 anywhere, it does not have power steering or power brakes, when towing you'll wish it had disc brakes, I've thought about  putting disc on it many times, but never did, when I 1st. bought it, I was planning a street rod, big 460, later model running gear-etc., but after driving it to Fl. from Ok., it was just to darn GOOD  a truck to chop it up, I would like to see it stay orig. I want a buyer to be happy with it, I really think you should make to trip to Fl. to see it, I live north west of Tampa, that would be the closest to fly into if you wanted to see it or drive it home. I would drive it to the airport so you could see it, I would even drive it to it's new home if you pay my airfare back to Fl.

I can also help arrange overseas shipping if needed, I can deliver to Fl. ports for shipping.  A $500.00 dep. with Pay-Pal with in 48 hrs. will be OK, CASH or wire transfer, any type of check, money order-etc., I will wait 30 DAYS for it to clear before releasing the truck, I do have a clear title in my name. The truck is also listed local, so if it sells local then I will take down this posting. If you buy it and pay the dep. thru Pay-Pal and you don't want it after seeing it, then I will refund your dep.  I do have many pic's, you can e-mail me for more if you want, my ph. # 727 869 7847

Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles

Fri, May 9 2014

Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
