Vehicle is in decent shape for a 1975 ford f250.  Paint is not original. It appears the original color was orange.  Paint is poor and needs to be refinished. Gloss is peeling, spray paint has been applied to areas that were missing paint or dented.  Vehicle has one large dent (covered up with black paint) on the passenger side rear wheel area and one in the passenger door.  Paint missing from the hood was touched up with paint that does not match the paint job (See photos).  Chrome strip on the drivers side is missing the last three inches of rubber.  Rear tailgate does not appear to be original and has a chip missing in it.  The Tailgate is scratched up and dented and could use Rhino Line.  Wheels have rust that may be able to be sanded?? off. Interior has new carpet and back seat cover. The actual seat cover from LMC (where your butt sits) got ripped.  An extra set of covers is provided.  Surface rust in random spots.  Passengers side door is missing the storage department on the bottom of the door. Drivers side is missing the arm rest 


There is a picture of the passenger side mirror where there is white everywhere, this is not damage, but bird poop.  Sorry, I did not have time to clean this vehicle before photos were taken.

Engine is a 390 from what I believe is 1974.   New Hoses, belts, Power Steering Pump, Power Brake Booster, Starter (1.5 years old).  Battery was installed in october 2011.  No windshield washer resivor.  

Carb is a Carter Competition AFB which probably needs a tuning, Headman Headers. As you could see, the engine has some spray paint that could probably be removed.  Transmission is a 4 on the floor with Granny Gear.  Clutch needs adjustment or replacement. At this point, I think it needs an adjustment and possibly a throwout bearing.  

Front end work was just recently done, including bearings, driver side spindle and a few other things, I could provide a reciept ($1600.00 in Parts plus labor)

CD player is not factory and  the dash lights are LED's.  2 Rifle, Rifle Rack included.

Truck runs great, and would make a daily driver or a great restoration project.

There is a gas tank behind the seat as well as a custom made Tank on the drivers side, in front of the rear wheel (see photos).  Toolbox is included.

Mileage reads 94xxx, but I am unsure what the actual mileage is.  

Divorced Transfer case.

I have made every effort to accurately describe what i know about this vehicle.  I am not a car guy but would be willing to provide more photos or answer ANY questions to the best of my ability. I want you to be satisfied, please ask

I drove this for 2 years and definitely enjoy it, but could no longer afford the 8mpg and the dream that I will restore this


Shipping must be arranged by the buyer, I'd prefer local pickup.  This truck could be driven home.   I had bought it in Montana in 2011 and drove it to Illinois with no issues.  Vehicle was purchased from King Motors in Great Falls Montana.

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
