I have for sale this week a 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger 4X4 shortbed truck. I have known this truck for many years. The owner recently died and I bought it from the estate. It was parked for two years after his death and I bought it about two years ago. A battery and fresh gas had it back running great. It has 58000 original miles on it and still retains many of the original belts and hoses and clamps. It has the full time front hubs, so the owner removed the front driveshaft to get better fuel economy. I do not have the front shaft, but is easily sourced from a salvage yard. Other than the bed, this truck is in amazing condition with NO RUST on the cab, doors, fenders, or hood. The bed has rust and could be repaired or easily replaced. The floors of the truck still have shiney black paint on them. The door jambs are all excellent with original paint in great condition. This truck has been well cared for all of it's life. The original carb cranks easily with it's properly working choke. This truck is loaded with options as follows: 351 V-8, Automatic transmission, Factory A/C, tilt wheel, cruise control, power steering, power disc brakes, locking inside hood release, dual front shock HD suspension, and the Ranger trim package. I have driven the truck locally and it drives well. Before going on a long trip, I would replace some of the above mentioned original parts. The cab still retains it's original paint so there are no hidden repairs to worry about. this will be a very easy restoration and well worth the effort. You do not see many original Black and Silver color combo trucks. This truck is for sale locally for $3500.00 and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time in the event of a local sale. I am selling this truck as is and the buyer is responsible for transport to it's new home. Don't miss out on this great truck that will be a beauty when done. thanks for looking.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
Hop below for the full press release from Ford on its latest investment.
Ford announces 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Ford has pulled the wraps off its anticipated 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition model, a new variant of the popular street-legal off-road specialist. In a nutshell, the "special" is all cosmetic - there are no mechanical upgrades to the truck and its 6.2-liter V8 (411 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque), Torsen limited-slip differential, beadlock-capable wheels and internal triple-bypass FOX Racing Shox dampers all remain untouched.
The SVT Raptor Special Edition, which adds cosmetic enhancements to the existing Luxury Package, will be offered in Ruby Red Metallic and Tuxedo Black Metallic with box-side graphics. The interior upgrades include Brick Red seat bolsters (with black inserts), cloth honeycomb highlights and a console top finish panel.
As of now, Ford has only release a couple pictures of the Special Edition model. But check back later, as we will update the gallery when additional high-res images are released later today, and be sure to peruse the press release below for all the details.
Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
