This 1979 F350 Custom, dual rear wheel truck was owned since new by a friend.   I am the second owner.  The truck had 28,472 miles when I bought it in 2003 and now has 35,774 original miles.  It has the heavy duty 300 straight six motor and the granny low T18 four speed, synchronized in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.  The truck is geared for power but will do 65-70 easily on the highway.  The power steering works perfect, power brakes work perfect, and the truck tracks straight.  I put heavy duty tires on the truck and the tires are in excellent shape.

I used the truck very lightly, hauling firewood for personal use and going to the lumber store occasionally.  I recently had the muffler replaced and the shop said the exhaust manifold has some thin cracks and will eventually need to be replaced.  The truck runs ok but the carb needs rebuilt I believe.  I recently replaced wires and spark plugs. 

The truck has some dents in the hood  but mostly the roof, where a tree limb fell last summer.  The local junk yard has hoods for around 75 bucks.   It also has some dents in the drivers door and some dings here and there.  The body is solid and not rusted because it was garaged most of its life (not the last few years).  I liked the truck with the patina and never painted it, but it could use a paint job.  I painted the front john deere green and just never got around to painting the rest of the truck.  The original color is on the doors and cab which I believe is hunter green metallic.

The inside is in nice condition except the roof was pushed down some in the middle and needs to be straightened.  The truck is fine as is.  The dent does not get in the way of people sitting in the truck.  Note I put three pictures right after limb fell, showing cab lights still sitting on top of roof after being smashed.

The truck has a working 8000 pound winch which works, but missing winch lead (have to use screwdriver to touch contacts) and new tool box under truck.

 

I hate to sell this old truck but I have too many vehicles.

The reserve is low.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.

Ford Shelby GT350R, GT successor, F-150 Raptor and more rumored for Detroit debut

Mon, Dec 1 2014

According to a pair of reports from Hearst's car mags, Car and Driver and Road & Track, Ford has a whole mess of good stuff on deck for the Detroit Auto Show in January. And it all sounds awesome. First, expect to see a hotter version of the Shelby GT350 in Detroit, likely called GT350R. Think of this as the already-hot Shelby with even more track-focused bits baked in – brakes, tires, aero, etc. Everything about the GT350 sounds great, so expect this R variant to be something seriously fierce. As R&T suggests, if the GT350 is the company's new Boss 302, the R is the Laguna Seca. But that's not even close to the biggest news. Road & Track believes a proper Ford GT replacement will debut in Detroit – a road-going version of the Le Mans GTE-class car the Blue Oval is working on for 2016. We've heard about this before, but having the street-legal car debut in Detroit would be absolutely huge news. The performance story continues, though, with R&T suggesting that the next-gen Ford F-150 Raptor will bow in Detroit. Details are scarce about what, exactly, the aluminum-bodied desert stormer will hold, but we expect good things. Finally, Ford's hot hatches might make some news in the Motor City, too. Car and Driver seems to think the all-wheel-drive Focus RS will bow in The D, and that an updated version of the Fiesta ST will also show its face. Road & Track, meanwhile, believes the Focus RS showing will be saved for a European auto show – think Geneva – and our gut feeling is to agree with the R&T theory. All of these rumors point to Ford officially announcing its dedicated performance division – like Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and so on. We've heard reports of a new, global performance brand from the company already, with the name 999 thrown out as a possibility. In any case, if these rumblings prove to be true, there's going to be a ton to drool over from Ford in January. Stay tuned.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
