1978 Ford F-150 4x4 (low Reserve) on 2040-cars
Gunnison, Colorado, United States
|
1978 Ford F150 4x4. 351M, C6 NOTE: Truck has clear title. It is missing the VIN plate on the drivers door jam. This is an excellent example of a clean & rust free "dent-side" ford pickup. The truck is a rare short bed 4x4. Sitting high with a skyjacker suspension lift and 37" tires on new 16.5 rock crawler rims. Beautiful pearl maroon paint sparkles in the sun and compliments the all black trim. This truck is a true eye catcher and looks phenomenal, I have had many compliments on the appearance. The truck has square headlights like a 1979 Ford. All lights, signals and gauges work except the dome light. Electrically, this truck is solid and doesn't have any ignition issues or shorts. The 351M motor runs strong and is fed through a completely rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 2bbl carburetor. Motor has all new plugs and wires, new filters, pcv valve and is vacuum leak free. Dana 44 high pinion front axle and 9" rear axle. 3.50 gears keeps the RPM's down on the highway. Truck gets between 10-12 MPG! Hi/low transfer case NP205. Brand new rear drive shaft. Interior is clean. New LMC carpet covers rust free floor pans. Dash cover w/no cracks. Seat is in fine condition. Door panels are not perfect but workable (see pictures). All glass is solid. Only issue: Cannot get the rear trim over the wheel wells to sit flush with the fender. The OEM clips are difficult to work with and I didn't want to mess with them. The new owner can decide how they want to deal with the rear trim. Truck drives great, doesn't overheat over Colorado mountain passes. Tracks straight but drives like a 79 with big wheels. I wouldn't take it over 75mph. I trust driving this truck anywhere, it doesn't use oil. Call for more details: 303 956 6990. Truck is for sale locally! I reserve the right to remove listing at any time. Thank you!

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

The history and future of the Ford Bronco
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
Some have suggested that the Bronco's demise was hastened by the fallout from the O.J. trial.
Twenty years ago today, ex-NFL linebacker Al "A.C." Cowlings drove his friend and onetime running back Orenthal James "O.J." Simpson on a parade lap of the Los Angeles highway system and onto an ignoble page of the history books. If you're in your late 20s or older, or a fastidious young student of 1990s American history, you're absolutely aware that Al and O.J.'s steed for the 'chase' was a white Ford Bronco. The white Ford Bronco, even.
