Fresh Hipo 352 Rebuild One Owner Since 1972 Bought Here In Texas! on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Texas, United States
|
This is a great find! Built and sold in TX, this truck has been in the same family since 1972. Everything seems to work on this truck (nothing is botched up) and the odometer reads 88k. Speedo works, temp gauge, gas gauge, all of it!
Spend a few hundred bucks making it legal and safe and run it the way it is! Pictures do not do it justice. This truck turns heads! Chicks dig it. Rat rod her to your personal preference. Air bag it! Run race headers, side pipes...options are endless. ....or you have a great solid start to a period correct restore. This is your truck for that too. Personally I wouldn't touch that Patina for a long time! You couldn't ask for a more attention grabbing bad ass truck. It just looks angry and instantly makes you a tough guy (or girl). Just going to the gas station I got a crowd of people around me! My girlfriend said I look sexy in it. I am very close to not selling this. The ORIGINAL 352 V8 was rebuilt with a hipo cam, head work, intake and 4 barrel. Anyone who knows the FE motor knows what that adds up to....TORQUE MONSTER! It was set up to run on modern gas, given a healthy cam (nice sounding lope), edelbrock intake and matching 4 barrel carb, ...and then the owner died. Kind of adds to the trucks mystique I think. It has an estimated 5 hours of run time to keep things lubed up. I have flushed the gas tank, replaced gas lines, installed an inline fuel filter, a new mechanical fuel pump, and she fired up and runs on all eight like nobodys business. At least one side of the exhaust is leaking bad at the manifold/exhaust donut, (old school 2' duals with cherry bombs hang in place), but it still sounds great. I ran it softly to operating temp and flushed out the oil, ran a big magnet through the oil and It was clean as could be. Zero smoke, no funny noises, just a solid healthy ford v8 that needs a good tuning. The engine is clean, all gaskets, freeze plugs etc. were replaced and block was repainted blue. If I were to keep it, this would be my path to get it on the road. -Two exhaust manifold gaskets (donut between pipe and manifold) Heck, Id probably spring for a new flowmaster or magnaflow dual set up. Looks like this exhaust has been with the truck a while.... -New Rubber -Front shocks -Drum brake rebuilds (it stops fine but its old and its fast!!!) dont be dumb. Pads and springs are cheap. -Set the timing and tune the carb. -I would probably update the cassette deck;) -Go through front end with a fine tooth comb (safety first) Replace bushings/ball joints as necessary. I didn't see anything that needs immediate attention. The interior is probably my favorite part! The factory seat isn't even worn out! There is nothing like a Red bench in a black classic pickup! The headliner and both interior door covers are in amazing shape with just a tinge of Patina... its like a work of art. You can't help but fall in love with this thing. The F100 V8 with the spare tire in the flare side is super rare. When was the last time you saw one pass you? It even appears that the original 1967 spare poly tire is mounted. The bolts have never been turned and it was under cover until now. As stated above there is a little decay under the rear fenders below the bed where wasps built large bulletproof nests that held moisture over the years. This is a seperate bolt in peice!!! No work at all!! There was a nest under the mat in the upper right hand side of passenger floor as well. Super easy fix. This is not a unibody vehicle but a heavy duty framed vehicle. The floor repair is simple and not part of the structural integrity of the vehicle. One of the doors has a couple of bondo skims (painted black) over small dents, nothing major. Never in any accidents. You will see in the pictures that the owner did a nice job of welding plate steel in the bed over the factory wood planks. Keep it like that (nice clean welding job), or cut it out and redo the the wood planks underneath for a really cool look. Cherry wood on that Patina with a red interior would look amazing!!! A little extra weight back there doesn't hurt. It has a claimed weight around 3000 but it feels a lot lighter then that.... Well that's it for now. With an average retail of 10k-14k plus in unrestored condition you can bid with confidence that you can't lose money on this beauty. Real Mans Truck all the way.

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
