Rust free 1966 F100.  Arizona vehicle.  Engine runs strong and the truck is very fast--until the manual transmission locked up.  It is a NP435 with the first gear granny.  It is now stuck in gear and makes noise. These are relatively easy to rebuild.  The external case is not leaking and it was getting progressively harder to shift gears over the last few months.  I had local quotes of $600.00 plus parts to remove, rebuild and replace the unit at Four Wheelers Supply in Phoenix, Arizona: 602-273-7195.  The transfer case looks to be a Dana 24 divorced style.  In other words the transfer case is NOT attached to the transmission.  The two are connected by a drive shaft approximately 20" long.  This is how Ford made these trucks in 1966.  The benefit is that any car type transmission can be used with out an adapter.  Simply use a short drive shaft coupled to the Dana 24.  I have a lead on a C4 Automatic for the 390 FE with low miles complete with torque converter and a Lokar shifter that can be had for under $700.00 locally.  It was still available when I checked at the time of this posting.


The front axle is a ball joint style Dana 60.  From the lug nuts it looks to be one ton.  The rear axle is either a Dana 60 or Dana 70.  Also one ton lug pattern.  The wheels look to be real Alcoa's and the BFG tires are like new.  The bed has has been sprayed by Inyati.

There is NO RUST on this truck.  As is NONE.  As in it never had any.  It is solid.

The paint job looks good from 6' away but is by no means show quality.  It is a basic low budget paint job but as I said it looks good.

The FE390 runs very strong.  Looks to have some oil leaking from the pan.  I do not believe that this is the original motor.  As indicated, before the transmission locked up this truck was fast.  Transfer case works fine, its a two speed: low and high.

Truck will roll onto a flat bed and engine starts right up.

The front springs have had the shackle reversal.  For put the piviot in the front at the factory.  All modern leaf spring vehicles have the pivot in the rear of the spring.

I am an Arizona attorney and I can be found in the Arizona Bar registry.  I can be reached at 602-616-3375 from 9 am to 10 pm Arizona time.

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.

2015 Ford Mustang spied on video for the first time

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Not many cars will continue to hold our rapt attention quite like the upcoming redesigned 2015 Ford Mustang, codenamed S550 internally. Earlier this month, we brought you the first spy photos of a next-gen Mustang prototype out testing, and even though expertly placed cladding concealed the pony car's new shape, we could tell that underneath was hiding an altogether new form inspired by the Evos Concept from 2011.
Today we give you some video of what looks to be the same Mustang prototype, which you can watch below, and while the budding director behind the camera wasn't able to capture much in the way of the engine's audio signature, we can see the car in motion for the first time and compare its relative size and shape to the S197 Mustang GT that's on its tail.

Ford reveals concept trucks that ultimately became Atlas

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

The Ford Atlas Concept was one of the quiet success stories of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and now Ford has given us a quick glimpse as to how that creation came to be. Designers actually combined two early sketches to build the Atlas. One, called the Bullet Train, is a futuristic, aerodynamic creation, while the other, aptly named the Locomotive, features the squared off proportions we're familiar with.
Once designers settled on the truck's proportions, they began nailing down exactly which attributes they wanted the final design to have. The Concept's notched windshield originated as a forked glass roof that seamlessly transitioned into the windscreen.
Likewise, designers wanted to fit the truck's tailgate with a storage compartment for tools and a first aid kit, but settled on the dual-purpose step/cargo cradle. Interestingly enough, the concept's active aero shutter wheels actually originated in some of the earliest sketches. Check out the photos and slides here for a closer look.
