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.

2015 Ford Mustang production to begin on July 14? Not quite, says Ford

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Mustang6g.com believes that it has unlocked start date for 2015 Ford Mustang production citing a Ford dealer communiqué. According to the report, job one on the 2015 hardtop will allegedly start in just a few days, on July 14, although units that are known as "OK to Buy" won't enter production until September 9. The cars built between those dates are most likely final pre-production cars for the executive test fleet, and will likely include the cars we'll be driving at the media launch.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, would seem to have a longer wait. Job one on the droptop supposedly isn't slated to start until September 14, with production models starting on October 27. As is the case with the hardtop, these final pre-pros are for the execs and media to test, while actual dealer orders will come from vehicles made after the October date.
After speaking to Ford, though, we wouldn't put a great deal of stock in those dates as reported. We reached out to Said Deep, Ford's North American Product Communications Manager.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
