This is my 1964 F100 short-bed truck. I have had it for about 6 years now and I am ready for something new. If you have a muscle car from 1965-74, I am open to a trade. I had all the work done on this truck by the guy who sold it to me. I have never had any problems with it. The 302 in the truck is from 1985. Chrome front and back bumpers. Newer tires with less than 6,000 miles on them. Truck is rust free. It has a newer Edelbrock 550 4-barrel carb on it that makes this beast run really nice. I had it tuned by my mechanic and he did a wonderful job. The truck has power brakes that work really really well and I can stop on a dime. When I bought the truck 6 years ago I had the rack and pinion power steering installed. It was a kit from a company called No-Limit engineering, via nolimit.net, out of San Berdoo, California. I dealt with the gentleman who machined the parts myself and every time I get the oil changed the mechanic who does the service compliments me on how nice the front end is on the truck. The power steering package alone was right around $800 before installation costs. It also has a brand new Reese hitch that tows very nicely. I have replaced the plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, transmission pan gasket, the transmission fluid, voltage regulator, fuel filters, fuel pump, gas cap, valve cover gaskets, chrome valve covers, air filter, radiator hoses, it gets regular oil changes, and the horn is new. It now has an "ah-oogah" horn.

This truck has served me well. If I were to keep it, I would get a new paint job. You can see in the pictures that it has some peeling at the gas tank. That's because the old gas cap leaked out gas when I had the truck parked on a hill overnight and the gas ate through the paint. I replaced the gas cap and the problem was solved. That happened 3 months after I got the truck. The paint has not peeled any further and when I wash the truck there isn't any more paint that peels away. The spot that lost paint has been that big since the day the gas leaked out. I have driven this truck from St. Louis, Missouri to downtown Houston, Texas and back without any problems three times. I was going to school in Texas and coming home for the summer over the last 5 years. This truck made the trip three times and handled Houston city driving every time. I also have a Harley 883 Iron, this truck pulled my bike across the country with no problem and I would not have any worries about doing it again.

All in all I would say this truck is a solid driver that has some minor cosmetic flaws. There is a small ding on the driver's side door just back from the side mirror from a rock. There is a ding in the bed of the truck up by the cab's rear window glass. Other than that though, there are not any dings on the truck. When/if you decided to paint this truck, these small dings would not amount to much if anything in prep work for a new paintjob. This truck is not perfect though. It is a driver quality truck that will get you noticed. If you like every car fan and his brother coming over and chatting you up about your truck each time you stop for gas, food, or anything else, then this is the truck for you.

I will eventually provide a phone number, but I didn't get around to getting one today, so until then if you have any questions, contact me through Ebay. I check this regularly and I would be more than happy to answer any of your questions or concerns.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For
