This is an auction for 2 vehicles.  The first one is a 1983 FORD F250  and the second is a 1985 FORD F350.  Both trucks have a manual 4 speed transmission and are 4x4's with the dana 50 front end. Both are regular cab long boxes. The clutches on both trucks feel great.  I have the titles on both trucks and they are clean. Both the trucks have typical Ford rust.


 The 1983 F250 has new:     glow plugs, filters, slave cylinder, drivers rear brake wheel cylinder and rear axle bearing nut, and two new rear tires( less than a 1000 miles on them).

  Has less than 300 miles on oil change. Runs and drives good. Goes down highway straight. Even has the original water separator. Previously titled in AK.  Has a crack in lower left of windshield and a bar welded to frame on each side for a slide in camper. Looks like it has the wiring for a camper. Smokes only when started up and clears up. 


The 1985 F350 was bought for replacement parts if needed.  The previous owner ran veggie oil and gummed up the fuel injector.  There is a different fuel injector on it now.  I took the fuel tank down to clean it. Ran a fuel jug to motor and runs fine.  Drove it around the block a couple of times and parked it up north about a year and a half ago. I never put the tank back up.  The tires have good tread and I know three tires for sure hold air but they have weather checking on the sidewalls. The truck has aluminum rims. The leaf springs are cracked in a couple of spots and if I remember right a piece of spring is missing in one spot. The truck smokes on start up  and did not smoke when driving it around the block.

Both trucks have not been driven much at all. I took the 1983 F250 to work for a week when my car was in the shop. The idea was to make a heavy duty truck with a parts truck being handy, just incase .  The 1983 F250 is registered in my name and I never registered the 1985 F350 because that was going to be my parts truck. A guy could take the F350 and fix the springs, throw rubber on it if wanted, put the tank up and would have a running 1 ton. Again , I only had it running for a little while, but when I got it running, it ran and shifted good. Just trying to being honest.

Any questions, please email me.  I will answer them to the best of my ability.

I reserve the right to end this auction early as I have these trucks for sale locally.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  I will help out as much as I can.

Even Ford executives had issues with MyFord Touch

Fri, Oct 7 2016

MyFord Touch is one of the auto industry's more controversial features. The media broadly panned the infotainment system developed with Microsoft for its slow responses and reliance on voice commands to navigate its deep menus. Oh, and Ford executives weren't big fans, either. Newly revealed court documents in a California class-action lawsuit demonstrate the level of venom Ford employees, both big and small, reserved for the Blue Oval's infotainment system. An error caused Bill Ford's navigation system to crash, leaving the family scion stuck on the side of the road in an unfamiliar area. The documents, unearthed by Forbes, detail current CEO Mark Fields' aggravations with MFT, too. A mechanic emailed an image of a cracked infotainment screen on an Edge to one of Ford's top Sync engineers, Kenneth Williams, suggesting "Mark Fields may have been a little aggravated with the system." But Ford and Fields' issues are nothing compared to the woes of the engineers that had to work on MFT. In a collection of emails obtained by Forbes, one engineer called the system "a polished turd," while another simply said, "These poor customers." And after one engineer suggested using a photo of Ford's Oakville Assembly Plant – home of the Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX, and MKT production – as a background for the system, one of his coworkers said in an email that someone should instead Photoshop the image to read "abandon hope all ye who enter here," the Detroit News reports. Another summed up the problem, saying: "Ford's quality reputation is completely on the line ... another model year with the same crap is not acceptable." MyFord Touch almost single-handedly torpedoed Ford's reputation in widely reported quality metrics, including JD Power and Consumer Reports. Ford responded with a refreshed Sync3, a wildly improved rethink of its infotainment system that is far more responsive and easier to live with every day.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million

Mon, Aug 11 2014

In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid

Thu, 02 May 2013

No Prius Killer
As much as we enthusiasts like to rail on the lowly Toyota Prius as the harbinger of death for all we hold dear, there's no denying the machine's absolute and interminable grip on the hybrid hatchback market in the United States. Toyota has so thoroughly sunk its teeth into the segment that you can clearly hear the automaker's incisors clacking against one another with the conclusion of each financial quarter. And there's little wonder why. Buyers can plop down less than $25,000 and have a runabout that can return up to an estimated 51 miles per gallon in the city, leaving every other entry on the market with precious little gristle to gnaw on.
Enter the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid. With its claimed 47 mpg combined, the funky little hatch from Europe already falls behind the 48 mpg city offered by the Prius, but that marginal sacrifice in fuel economy could be a small price to pay for buyers who want a credible alternative to the stalwart Toyota. Unfortunately, like the Fusion Hybrid, the C-Max Hybrid had trouble even approaching its Environmental Protection Agency estimates during our time with the car.
