1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab Big Back Window, 292 V8 4-speed Project, Very Rare on 2040-cars
Vancouver, Washington, United States
1960 Ford
F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare. Was last registered and running in 2006. Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles. You are
bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958
F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year
offered from the Ford factory as an option. According
to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in
1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to
rarity. Combine this with the big back
window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare. I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford
4x4 enthusiasts. Most Ford
enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say
for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise. The
original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green. It is
now poorly painted in yellow. The body
is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be
easy fixes. This particular
truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle),
retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual
transmission with compound low. The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced
Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end,
and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover). The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006. I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck. The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission. It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work. Not much more to say under the hood. Tires are
old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh. The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original.
A small amount of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps
some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say
the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free. Window regulators are
complete and in place. The original tail gate is no longer present,
either. Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get. The
interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge
auxiliary package added under the dash. Clear
title in hand. This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored. While
every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old
classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee
expressed, written, or implied. Shipping is the full responsibility of
the buyer. I will make myself available for loading. $4,500.00 cash or best close offer. Please be
able to pay in full within 3 days of auction end via Bank of America deposit,
or bank wire transfer. You may

2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.
Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
