Ford F150 Custom LWB
The Truck Is a Two owner purchased by me several months ago from a Lady who's husband passed. The truck has sat for a few years with no attention when i found it and purchased. At the time of purchase I was told that the last time the truck had been driven the Radiator had burst and the truck towed to a repair shop where a new one was installed. It then sat for a while when one of the gentleman's kid went to use the truck and the carb starting leaking gas and it didn't move until I purchased it. I had the Carb rebuilt, new hoses and belt, plugs and wires, dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers, all new door and window trim so it's tight, new gas tank, fill and vent hose, sending unit. rims and tires, battery, glove box liner, radio and speakers, rear tail light assembly and bulbs along with all fluids changed. Everything on this truck works with the exception of the A/c and that is one thing I have yet to tackle. It has been repainted and the paint job is what it is and there is rust in the normal '73 places. I also have the factory steel wheels and dog dishes with whitewall tires, a tool box that was on when i purchased it along with the factory radio and a set of shackles for the rear that i have not installed that were purchased to level the truck. The truck runs and drives down the road at what ever speed you want to go, it's easy to drive and dependable in getting you there. The Rim/tire package was purchased from Discount Tire Direct at 1100.00 they only have about 400 miles on them the tires on the Steelies have tread but not sure how old they are. you will see current pictures of the truck and pictures of the truck when i purchased at the ladies home with the steelies and whitewalls along with the the toolbox. This truck would make a great First Project, first vehicle, great farm truck or something that would get you around if your a doomsday prepper that thinks todays electronics will be compromised. Email me with any questions.

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
How the 2015 Ford Mustang will save your knees
Sat, 21 Jun 2014The 2015 Mustang is one of the most hotly anticipated vehicles of the moment, and Ford continues to leak out interesting little details about its newest pony car. The latest info doesn't have anything to do with its quarter-mile time or handling, but if any of that goes drastically wrong, the innovative new glovebox-mounted airbag may prevent passengers from knee injuries.
All variants of the 2015 Mustang get the active knee airbag as standard, and it's the first vehicle in Ford's lineup to receive the system. The setup is actually quite simple and ingenious. The glovebox is made from a plastic outer panel that is attached to the inner door. Sandwiched between them is this new injection-molded plastic bladder that folds flat when in use. If the passenger-side airbag deploys, the system springs into action to act as a cushion for your knees. Compared to a traditional knee airbag that has to fully inflate, this arrangement is 65 percent lighter and can use a 75 percent smaller inflator. It's also basically invisible when you look at the glovebox door.
Ford spokesperson Ed Saenz declined to tell Autoblog whether the system will appear in other vehicles in the Blue Oval's lineup but said, "We're considering other applications." Provided it's effective, the approach seems too simple not to make its way to other products. Scroll down to watch a video showing how the glovebox-mounted knee airbag works.
Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
