1966 Ford F250 Camper Special / Custom Cab / Low Fast & Loud Shop Truck on 2040-cars
Colville, Washington, United States
|
1966 Ford F250 Camper Special Custom Cab customized shop truck. Original paint on this solid and straight old truck. Equipped with independent front suspension, power steering, power 12" disc breaks and a massive front sway bar thanks to a 1994 Chevrolet Cop Car. The rear end and 700r4 overdrive automatic transmission are also from this donor car. Motor is a good sound 1975 Cadillac 500 with rear sump pan from an Eldorado. This makes the truck drive, corner, handle and stop just like the Caprice Cop Car that donated the parts. The torque monster Cad motor coupled to 700r4 makes for lots of tire smoke and great cruising. Pretty good fuel mileage as well. I put this truck together about 4 years ago and have driven it over 15,000 trouble free miles. Never given me any trouble what so ever. Starts right up even when it was 15 degrees this past winter. Lots of new parts when built. New windshield and gasket, breaks all around. New radiator, hosed and heater hosed. Flushed the gas tank and new fuel lines and fuel pump. New dual exhaust system with glass packs and exit just in front of the rear wheels. New P235/60r15 on new torque thrust polished wheels on front. New P295/50R15 on torque thrust polishes wheels on rear. Front rims are 8" wide and rear are 9". Rear rubber is 10" wide at the thread. The Cad motor will still smoke the tires for 2 blocks if you want. Equipped with a line lock and a B&M torque converter lock up. All the glass is good and wing vents and windows roll up and down as they should. Doors and tail gate all close nice and fit good. All gauges work along with the dome light, horn, door locks and turn signals. Auxiliary fuel tanks in the box have been converted to lockable storage boxes and they work great when filled with ice for cold drinks. They have drain holes in the bottoms. This truck needs nothing. It's ready to go anywhere in the U.S. New seat, door panels, headliner and door pulls. Look at the floor rubber. It is original and still in great shape. I am sure that I am forgetting something's but that pretty much describes the truck. I would be glad to answer any question that you might have. Feel free to come drive this truck. I can be reached at 509-684-5723. If you need more pictures, just ask. I own a small rod shop here in Colville and have done 4 other similar trucks for local customers and have had no complaints. Just finished a 65 short box for my new shop truck so Rusty is for sale. Willing to work with the new owner as far as shipping goes. Short term storage is something we can talk about.

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
Detroit 3 and UAW set for showdown over tiered wages
Mon, Mar 23 2015This week, thousands of United Auto Workers will converge on Cobo Center in Detroit for the Special Convention on Collective Bargaining, an every-four-year event that lets members tell UAW leaders what the negotiating priorities should be during contract negotiations. This is where a lot of sand and a lot of lines start coming together in preparation for contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit 3 automakers, which will happen later this year. Number one on the UAW agenda is the end of the two-tier wage system created in 2007 to help the automakers get through bankruptcy; veteran workers are paid the Tier 1 rate of around $29.00 per hour, new hires are paid the Tier 2 rate of between $15 and $20 and get about half the benefits of Tier 1. Tier 2 hiring has been an undoubted success for the automakers, allowing them to keep factories in the US and hire more workers. By agreement, it is capped at a certain percentage of each automaker's workforce, and while the union's ultimate position is to get rid of the dual-scale system entirely; one leader said Ford could easily afford the $335 million it would take to convert all its workers to Tier 1 out of its $6.9 billion in 2014 North American profit, and General Motors could do the same out of the $5 billion it is handing to investors through the (admittedly forced) share buyback. Other delegates say that at the very least they'd be happy with enforcement of the current caps in the new contract. The automakers, conversely, would welcome expansion of the Tier 2 ranks. Including benefits, import automakers pay workers "in the high $40 range" per hour, according to an analyst, while Ford and GM pay about $59 in wages and benefits per hour. More Tier 2 workers on the rolls would let those two companies get labor cost parity with the competition. Fiat-Chrysler pays wages closer to the imports because of special exceptions in its UAW contract that allow unlimited Tier 2 hiring; those exceptions will end on September 14 and bring FCA into line with the other domestics, unless the new contract maintains them. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne is opposed to the two-tier system, having called it "almost offensive." One analyst says the UAW might win a sizable pay raise for Tier 2 and a small increase for Tier 1, but the keystone issue will be how the hiring matrix can help the automakers keep overall wages in line with the imports.
Ford to show special edition Raptor on April 9
Mon, 01 Apr 2013There are precious few details, but what we do know is that Ford will be revealing images of "appearance upgrades" for a special-edition 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor on April 9. The slideshow will happen during a Motor Press Guild luncheon at Ford's Design Center Showroom in Irvine, California.
Without photos or further details, we're left to wonder about the extent of these changes, but aren't expecting anything too significant given the venue. Ford is understood to be revealing a next-generation F-150 with a big weight loss - as much as 700 pounds - for 2014, though it isn't yet clear if that's the truck's model year or simply its on-sale year. For at least a couple of years, Ford forums have been suggesting changes will come with the 2014 Raptor, so there could still be a bigger surprise in store. Either way, we'll know what all this means in a little more than a week. The press release below has the official details, but for the moment, we'll content ourselves by ogling the 2013 model above.
