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.

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
