NO RUST! 1997 Ford F-350, 4x4 (hub lock-in), Crew cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Long bed, Automatic. This is a tough, solid, running machine. Starts up beautifully. Runs perfectly. This is a very, very nice truck in great condition.

The Exterior of the truck has NO RUST. It has the dual fuel tanks and a goose-neck ball. It has a spray-in rhino liner and husky toolbox. It is in excellent condition with the following exceptions: There is a dent on the tailgate. On the R side bed panel a couple spots of paint/clear-coat were removed by power washing. There is a very small dent behind the RR door that is not very noticeable. We just installed a brand new windshield. Bumper on FR side is bent down a couple inches.

The interior is in good condition for its age and mileage. It has the very spacious crew cab interior. No rips in the upholstery, but some wear. Radio and CD player work but display panel does not light up. RR window does not work--but we haven't investigated the cause. AC is ice cold. Heater works well. Truck has security system that works well.

Mechanically the truck is in excellent condition. This is a powerhouse. This Ford 7.3 diesel powerstroke engine is equipped with a "super chip max micro tuner" with 3 settings to adjust speed to torq ratios. Truck starts perfectly, even in the cold. Drives smoothly. There are no issues with steering or linkage. There are no squeaks or squeals or leaks or drips.

I will miss this truck. The reason we are selling is that we have a lawn care business and are switching from running pickup trucks and trailers to running Isuzu landscaping trucks.

This truck is one of Ford's top trucks. It has the legendary 7.3. It has the really classic much-loved 1997 body style.

Previous owner was a perfectionist and maintained it perfectly. He was from Colorado & was the second owner--truck was from Texas before that.

You are welcome to come see the truck in person. We are in SW Missouri. Please call with any questions. (417) 635-7139. We could also e-mail more pictures if you want.

Why Edmunds took a sledgehammer to its 2015 Ford F-150

Tue, Jan 27 2015

The discussion around repair bills for the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 pickup continued from the beginning of last year to the end, and haven't abated; as an aside, some Tesla Model S owners have been shocked at disquieting repair estimates for minor damage to their aluminum wunder-sedans. Edmunds decided to inject some fact into the fray: it bought a $52,000 long-term 2015 F-150 and clouted it with an eight-pound sledgehammer. Twice. The rear of the bedside took the impacts since it couldn't be replaced, it would have to be repaired. To the pickup's credit, the only reason associate editor Travis Langness hit it twice was that the first sledgehammer blow didn't do as much damage as Edmunds wanted. After the second, the visible damage included the two direct impacts, a few creases, and a cracked taillight, so they drove the pickup to Santa Monica Ford to get an estimate, complete with a fictitious story about how the damage occurred and the mercy plea that Langness was paying for the repair out-of-pocket. In Part 2 Langness hits on some of the details with getting the truck fixed, such as the massively expensive taillight and the list of tools Ford recommends dealers have to work on aluminum. But he was promised he'd have his truck back in seven days, and Santa Monica Ford got it back to him in seven days. In Part 3 we get the bill. It's not small, but it's quite a bit less than it could have been if the service manager had charged Edmunds the official labor rate for aluminum. We're not going to spoil it here, so check out the videos above and below for the beginning and the end, and head over to Edmunds for the complete story about how it all happened and some riffing on the repair numbers.

Ken Block's 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR and CR Supercars Villain are retro done right

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Gymkhana king Ken Block has had a pretty simple car history in his trademark videos, starting out with Subaru Impreza rally cars before moving into Ford Focus racers for the past four installments. His next video, though, Gymkhana Seven, kind of goes back in time.
Rather than the cutting-edge rally racers of past videos, Block will pilot a heavily modified 1965 Ford Mustang, called the Hoonicorn. How heavily modified is it? Well, Block's Hooligan Racing Division, ASD Motorsports and Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s RTR, spent two years working on it, ditching the standard engine and rear-wheel-drive layout and replacing it with a 410-cubic-inch Roush Yates V8. Yes, that's a NASCAR engine, and it produces 845 horsepower.
A NASCAR-powered Mustang would be news in itself, but it's the other powertrain changes made by Block and Co. that really makes headlines. Power is channeled through a one-off Sadev transmission and all-wheel-drive system, meaning that Block has basically married a NASCAR stock car with a WRC racer. ASD also developed the customized suspension, tubular chassis and roll cage. The wide Mustang body is the work of RTR and Block's own Hoonigan Racing Division, while the 18-inch fifteen52 wheels are shod in Pirelli Trofeo R tires that use a specialized compound exclusive to Block.
