This truck was purchased new in 1999 by the Town of Atlanta, Indiana. Since that time, the Utility Department have utilized this truck for plowing snow, transporting parts and supplies, and general daily transportation. This truck is far from perfect, but it's very functional. Here are a few details:
The good:
8' Western Snow Plow
-Joystick control. New pump, and solenoid. Regularly serviced. The plow was completely disassembled repainted a few years ago. Fairly new cutting edge. The trip shock absorber is missing, so the plow slams if tripped. Plow operates well overall.
Western Tailgate Salt Spreader
-A bit rusty, but worked well when we stopped using it a few years ago (we bought a new truck, equipped with a larger spreader). The Salt Spreader has been stored with cover on, in a shed, out of the weather.
Truck has many new parts:
-New spark plugs and boots (129,269mi)
-New rear shocks (126,879mi)
-New alternator (121,283mi)
-New shift linkage bushings, plunger, and tube (120,273mi)
-New blower motor, blower motor resistor, fan switch, temperature blend door actuator (119,236mi)
-New transmission filter and fluid (119,060mi)
-New starter (117,700mi)
-New heater core (116,000mi)
-New right front axle seals, axle housing, hub bearing (111,715mi)
-New front and rear brake rotors and pads, front right/left calipers, right rear caliper (110,708mi)
In addition to the above list of repairs, the truck has been regularly serviced since 2008 (incomplete/missing records pre-'08). Regular oil changes, front end lubrication, fluid checks, filter changes, etc have been performed. Full coolant flush was performed at 119,060mi. Tires are at about 40% tread. The truck includes a good matching spare tire.
There don't appear to be any leaks from the engine, transmission, differentials, cooling system, fuel system, etc. The stains on the ground in the pictures are from another piece of equipment.
The Weatherguard toolbox pictured is included with the truck. The lid of the toolbox no longer stays up on its own, due to bad/broken struts. Its also pretty rusty, particularly on the lid.
Now the bad:
-The engine uses around 1qt of oil every 1000-1500mi.
-The truck runs rough at idle, and hesitates/misfires badly under moderate acceleration. Once cruising speed is reached, the truck does pretty well.
-The engine knocks a bit.
-The exhaust manifolds leak a bit.
-The left front axle needs work (clanks when driving while engaged).
-The front end is worn. Ball joints may need to be replaced.
-The A/C system does not operate. The truck seems to be stuck in heat, because turning the temperature selector to "cold" does not seem to effect the air temperature. As stated above, the blend door actuator has been replaced. May need temperature control switch?
-The fuel gauge does not work (always reads "Full").
-The brakes work well, but squeal when used.
-The under-bed spare tire cable is broken.
-The left front wheel cover is missing.
-The headliner is falling. It's currently pinned up.
-The dome light is missing its cover, and has no bulb.
-There are cracks, scuffs, and a few holes in the dashboard.
-The exterior of the truck has dents, scratches, and rust all around. As seen in the pictures, the tailgate is badly dented, but operates correctly.
Please message if you have any questions. I have been as accurate as I can be, but I will update this listing if I remember anything else.
Local pickup only.
The 1999 Ford F-250, and any accessories attached thereon, including, but not limited to the Western Snow Plow, and Western Salt Spreader, are being sold together, AS IS. No warranties are hereby written or implied.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
