1985 Ford F-350
We have here a real piece of the americana landscape of the us, ne of the very early working mans truck here. We operated this truck for aprox. 10 yrs in our landscaping business, auling trash, irewood, umber, ulling trailers, ulch, eaves, tc. We have decided to sell the truck to a new owner, nd it was not an easy decision, s we were working on a full restoration of this truck but only partially finished the restore as you will see in the pics and description below.1985 Ford F35, 1,000 G.V.W., riginal four wheel drive, riginal dual rear wheels 16.5", nbsp;9ft. stake dump body, to dump hoist (non electric), olid rust free frame without holes from rust, ccident free since our ownershi, riginal 4 speed manual transmission with creeper gear, on original 7.3 liter 1993 diesel engine (non power stroke), he story/history on this truck is that we became #3 owner in the mid 1990s, ts original color blu, L interior, .9 liter diesel have since been remodified/replace, s we removed all the electric windows and locks inside and went to manual, he bench seat is re upohlstered from velure fabric to blue vinyl with a tear since, he truck was repainted twice in the 20 yrs since we owned it, he last time it was painted its current colors was feb. 2006, he white stripe you see is painted and not vinyl and this paint still looks exceptionally well considering we only drove it 2 months with new paint and parked it then in 2006. The amount of money we paid for the body work at that time was $3500.00, nd that consisted of replaced drivers door, eatherstripping inside door jams on both sides, rand new insulated floor mat from door to door, rivers side fender, ood, river side rocker panel and more all because we did not want any bondo/plastic filler in this truck at the time and keep it all meta, hortly after painting the truck in 2006 we parked the truck and everything on it worked fine other than the speedometer cable(broken) and have not driven it on the road since that time. This trucks engine was upgrade in early 2000s to a 7.3 liter 1993 international non power stroke engine., s we hired a shop to install the 7.3 engine in the truck. We had the rea, rear rebuilt in the early 2000s. This truck does not currently run but can and will need to be gone over, ew inspection must be done by new owner, nd the stake body floor wood part of the bed must be replaced the side stake pockets and we have the original stake sides for the back as well, he steel sissor hoist from the piston to the bed was completly replaced with heavier channel than original in early 2000s. This truck will still need some mechanical work on the diesel engine before road worthy again, nd the body as well INCLUDING: FLOOR REPAIR, AB MOUNT, EW BATTERIES, OME ENGINE MAINT/REPAIR, MECHANIC?, LEMISHES MILEAGE IS UNCERTAIN AS THE SPEEDOMETER CABLE IS NOT WORKING, LEASE IGNORE THE 9,000,000 IN THE LISTING FORMAT stake bed etc. The hood latch does not close. but I must say, verall you have a complete truck with most parts OEM, amp; you will be hard pressed to find a 30 year old truck of this year, f this make, f these componets, T ALL, NYWHERE ON THE PLANET, hat is complete like this F350 here, nd it was my true pride in joy truck and am having a hard time parting with it, ut finally made the decision to do just that with a really rare find here. You will see parts missing and we more than likely have most of those parts and will collect all parts that go along with this truck to the new owner. We also purchased a western uni mount plow that we bought in 1999 brand new, nd only used this truck in the winter of 1999-2000 for a single snow event and never used it again, e still have the truck wired and a plow frame up front as we are not including the plow, rame or plow, r any of the wiring with the sale of this 1985 f350 truck here, nd all those snow equipt parts will be removed from the truck prior to pick up from the buyer at the end of this auction here.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Lincoln MKC recalled because start button located too close to touchscreen [UPDATE]
Wed, Dec 31 2014UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker responded to our questions and let us know that the fix for the push-button start on the 2015 MKC has the switch moved to the top of the of the column of gear shift buttons instead of the bottom. Owners should be notified about both campaigns "toward the end of February." After massive campaigns from General Motors and to fix Takata airbag inflators, 2014 will undoubtedly go down as The Year Of The Recall. And with little time to spare, Ford is getting in just under the wire to adding two more to its yearly total. The larger of the campaigns is actually one of the most bizarre campaigns we've heard of all year. Lincoln is recalling 13,574 units of its 2015 MKC compact crossover in North America to move the location of the push-button ignition switch on the dashboard. According to the automaker's announcement: "Due to the switch's close proximity to other controls, occupants are inadvertently shutting off the engine while driving." The button is located near the bottom of the touchscreen, which can apparently make it possible to hit by mistake. Back when Autoblog first drove the new MKC in June, we came away very impressed, but noted: "... we're still not completely sold on the aforementioned pushbutton transmission selector ... it still seems somewhat gimmicky and it can't be operated by feel alone, as you might when shifting a traditional console-mounted lever from Park to Drive." According to Lincoln, there have been no reported accidents or injuries stemming from this button misapplication. Of the affected vehicles, there are 11,144 in the US, 2,033 in Canada and 397 in Mexico. To fix the problem, dealers are moving the button to a different location and reprogramming the powertrain control module. According to Automotive News, models built since September already have a different layout. The change was reportedly done to match the rest of the Lincoln lineup. The second recall covers 12,205 units of the 2014 Ford Escape (2015 model year pictured below) and 2015 Lincoln MKC in North America because of a problem with nickel plating on the fuel pump. The issue can cause the pump to seize, which can cause the crossovers not to start or stall while driving. The automaker is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this fault. Dealers are replacing the fuel deliver module to fix the situation. Of the affected vehicles, there are 9,038 in the US, 3,074 in Canada and 93 in Mexico.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.
