I love this truck. It was a gift from my wife for my 70th birthday. It always starts right up and runs great. Cruises right along just fine at 70mph. Drives straight down the road and stops straight. Power steering conversion kit. Power disk brake kit, disk in front and drum in rear. It is an older restoration with some modifications. Reverse chrome rims (I love the look of chrome reverse rims) with baby moons. Original gas gauge and speedometer/odometer work. Mileage shows 74,139 and that is probably very close for the chassis/body but the engine is not original. Supplemental oil, temp and amp gauges work. Turn signals work although sometimes when you turn left it doesn't cancel. Windshield wipers work fine. Headlights and tail lights work. Tilt wheel. Interior is very tastefully finished with gray/maroon leather (or maybe vinyl-I can't tell which). The 351C Ford engine has been rebuilt and increased to 400 with a C6 transmission that shifts very smoothly. Running boards are new fiberglass. Gas tank is also new. Rear end is Dodge 8&3/4 inch limited slip. Bed floor is oak with metal strips and in my opinion the oak needs to be refinished. The bed on this truck I am pretty sure is not the original as you can see in the pics. I don't know if it is a reproduction or from another kind of truck. You can see that the top of the sides is flat rather than slanted. I like it this way but have never seen another of this vintage with this "feature". Has a B&M shifter. Glass is all good. Dual exhaust with nice sound. The paint job is quite old (not sure when it was painted) and has some scratches, nicks, chips, cracks but looks really good from a few feet away. I'm embarrassed to say that the color is a Chrysler color. It shines up really well. Instead of chains on the tailgate, I put nylon ropes because I didn't want the metal chains banging against the gate. Has a Sony radio with cassette player (nothing special) and seems to work OK but I can't figure out how to set the time on the display. There is a picture of it but I have to tell you that there is a screw through the roof. You can't see it till you get in the bed and look down on it or unless you are seven feet tall. I didn't find this till I had owned it for about six months. I have no idea why it's there. I'm trying to think of something else to say but can't. Email me with questions. I don't have anything to hide.
As with all cars/trucks sold on ebay, there is no warrantee/guarantee, etc. I believe the terminology is "as is/where is". I have tried to give you a truthful and detailed description of this truck but please don't hesitate to email me with questions. Or come and take a look and drive it. Buyer is of course responsible for shipping or pickup. I need a non-refundable $1000 deposit within 48 hours via paypal and then the rest in certified cashiers bank check or cash in the next five days. Unlike all the dealers seem to be doing now, I am not going to charge you a "doc" fee.
Now for the problem....................
Why am I selling this truck if I like it so much?????????????
It's my wife (the little sweetheart). She hasn't bought into the concept of a collection and won't let me have more than one classic car/truck at a time (bummer) and I have my eye on another vehicle.
And, she won't even let me buy another vehicle till I have sold the one I have even if I promise to sell it right after the new one arrives. Double bummer.......................

Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
First 1K next-gen Mustangs to carry 2014 1/2 model year?
Thu, 18 Jul 2013A new report from Mustangs Daily, citing insider sources at Ford, tells us that the Blue Oval will produce 1,000 next-generation Mustangs with the model year designation of 2014 ½, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the storied marque. The commemorative half-year designation is a rumor that's been swirling in Mustang forums for quite some time now, and seems more plausible than ever with this most recent report. Certainly it's not far-fetched to believe that Ford will want to make a big deal of the golden anniversary for its most-loved model.
The story (compiled by Drew Phillips, who runs the aforementioned Mustang site when he's not directing the photography on these pages) goes on to say that the limited-run cars will be the first built on the new Mustang platform internally known as S550 (and spied testing in the attached gallery). Each car is said to carry a "special" VIN and build number, though no performance upgrades versus the 2015 cars to follow are in the works. A collector's dream then, rather than a weekend racer's.
Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
