1969 Ford F100
Good- Strong body all factory steel, runs strong and drives straight, no rust, solid floor boards and rocker panels as well as rear quarters and wheel wells. New front bumper and rear bumper. All trim is on the truck. Interior was updated by previous owner. Solid doors all windows function properly all lights work. Heat works as well as the a/c. Factory A/C blows cold air. New Mirrors, new rims and tires limited miles on the new tires. Manual 4-speed transmission t-18 or 19 with steel case shifts through gears perfectly. Reverse spotlight lights up where ever you are attempting to back into. Tilt steering wheel all gauges work radio is functional. Truck starts up every time can be used as a daily driver if that's what you would like although I wouldn't suggest that. 4-bbl carb msd ignition system. Manual brakes work extremely well. The carpet was replaced and is new (Black). Truck has lots of power to get through the gears quickly. 1st- Granny gear indestructible gearbox. Extremely reliable truck.
not so good- Truck was use as a farm truck for a long time and it has some dents to show for it, some dents have been popped out and filled with 3-M body filler but not all work is done. Primer is over spots that were repaired and not all primer spots are finished. Some steering play not a lot just slight wheel play. I've personally driven this truck 70 on the highway with no problems. No power steering or brakes (Factory). Could be updated if you would like. Steering column is out of a GM product replaced by the previous owner. Dash has cracks and not all speakers work with the radio. There is no headliner. The bed is showing some wear and could be replaced if you are going to fully restore the truck 35 dollar fix from NPD. Once the body work is completed it will need a paint job. Basically the truck just needs body work and a paint job. The tailgate is beat up from years of use, I have a replacement though that is in much better shape just would need to be primed before painting. (its black).
If you have any questions feel free to ask just message me and I will get back with you as soon as possible. If you would like more information regarding this truck or others like it just visit this website www.fordification.com they have all of the information you could ever hope for.

There is a lot of truck here and it has remained completely unrestored for 40+ years all original body and easy restoration.
Don't miss out on a great truck!

2016 Ford Taurus to ride atop reworked Fusion platform
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Generally, cars get bigger and heavier as they get older. That's why it looks so ridiculous when you park a classic Mini next to a modern version. The same can be said of the Corvette, the BMW 3 Series, Porsche 911 and, of course, the Ford Taurus. In the Taurus' case, though, that size has become a liability, particularly because the big brute isn't nearly as sizable on the inside as it is on the out.
For 2016, Ford is aiming to rectify that. According to Edmunds, the 2016 Taurus will ride on a stretched and widened Ford Fusion platform. Ford is expecting this move to go a long way in trimming the Taurus' ample body fat.
"The problem with today's Taurus is that it is overweight and even the high performance SHO is not really competitive," said a source that spoke to Edmunds on condition of anonymity. The 365-horsepower SHO variant, "actually weighs about as much as the stretched Audi A8 L. Of course, Audi uses an extensive amount of aluminum, but it is a much bigger car."
Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
