1979 Ford F-150 Ranger 4x4

Up for auction with NO RESERVE is the Ford truck I thought I would never sell. I did lots of research and found the perfect truck, I thought would last forever. Unfortunately, my wife's grandfather passed, and his beloved pickup was going to be discarded. We've elected to save grandpa's truck for sentimental value, and...

It's a great opportunity for the right buyer.

I purchased the truck from a close friend of the original buyer. The truck was built in San Jose, and bought in 1978 by it's original owner, a Ford employee. The truck has been covered, or garaged for almost its entire life, and never registered outside of California. The original paint is in good shape for 30 plus years. It's an awesome blue, with subtle metallic flake. Overall exterior condition is very good for it's age. It is not a show truck yet, but with matching numbers, and almost all original equipment,  it certainly could be. The photos speak for themselves.

Modification's are minimal. The truck sits on a 2" body lift, which looks great! Also has an aftermarket chrome grill, and new model rearview mirror with temp and compass features. A small motor for a "hood squirt gun" was installed by original owner, but is not currently hooked up. Also a Flowmaster muffler is installed.

Mechanically, the truck is sound. Starter motor and ignition were replaced less than a year ago, and the truck fires right up! Motor runs well, shifts well, and brakes. Power steering works great! Drives Great! The truck is equipped with Power Assist brakes, but may need work. Stops with manual brake pressure fine.

Transmission is a 4 speed with Granny low. 4x4 works great, although I've used it very little.

NP 205 Transfer Case and solid front axel. The 6th generation F-150 is considered to be one of the must robust and durable truck designs from Ford.

I have never taken this truck off road, and it has been more of a Sunday Driver than anything for me.

Mileage comes in just over 71, 000. but my guess is it's been over once already.

The truck has a Sony CD player, FM/AM radio, and two JLB speakers, which sound great. A Cobra CB radio is also installed.

I'm also including rare factory service manuals, and a Weather Shield HD black custom cover, which cost around $500.

What else can I say? The truck is in great condition for is age inside and out. It's good to drive, and can be kept a daily driver, or customized to your liking.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

This is a truly awesome truck, and I'll miss it dearly.

Thank you, and GOOD LUCK! Did I mention, NO RESERVE!



I have described the truck to the best of my ability, and am selling AS-IS.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Ford 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 open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]

Sun, 08 Dec 2013

The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.
