For auction, 1 farm fresh 1966 for F100 pickup truck,  This truck is a custom cab, long wheelbase truck with a 352 Y-block engine and a (granny low) 4 speed manual trans.  This truck would be a daily driver if I did not have a company pickup truck.  If you are the winning bidder you can pick it up and drive anywhere in the country.  It runs smooth and shifts very smooth.  This truck does not have power steering or brakes but it is still a very easy truck to drive.  Parking lots are a little tough but still do-able.  The exterior was repainted a long time ago and the red and white top have a great patina that gives it the great original look.  The left front fender was damaged when the previous owner forgot to torque the lugs when he rotated the tires himself.  There is a little rust in the floorboards but none in the outer body.  The truck spent 46 years in western Nebraska so it has very little rust.  The interior is in pretty good condition with the exception of the aftermarket seat cover is starting to tear. 

I bought this truck with the intention of making it a streetrod.  I just cannot bring myself to alter such a nice old example of a 1966 f100.  It does have emblems and hub caps from a 1969 f100 Ranger that were added somewhere along the way.   Rear marker lights and low mount swing away mirrors and bed rails were also added but could easily be returned to stock.  Add ons look good and have resale value if you go back to original.  This truck is lots of fun and gets lots of looks and comments.  Bid with confidence because this truck has what truck guys want.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
