Up for your consideration is a really nice solid garage kept 1970 F100 ranger xlt short bed pickup. This truck was recently purchased from the previous owner who had owned the truck since the mid 90's.The truck is said to have 124,xxx miles. He drove the truck for many years as an original type vehicle. Then a few years back he decided to turn it into what it is now!! Currently sporting under the hood is a true bored .30 over 390 with a built c6 transmission. Previous owner sank more than 5,500 in the engine and transmission alone and only has about 6,000 miles on the new build. Here is a short list of whats been done under the hood. Has a 30 over FE 390, built C-6 automatic w/shift kit. Only parts reused were block, crank and connecting rods. Rebuilt D-2 heads. All parts were cleaned, Machined and checked by machine shop. Purchased new for motor was edelbrock carb, edelbrock intake, RV Cam/Lifter set Idle-5500, timing set, edelbrock water pump.Complete electronic ignition system from mallory unilite distributor and coil. Crane Custom 3/8 adjustable push rods with extra rods. Crane aluminum roller rocker set. High pressure oil pump, forged pistons, hooker headers, 3" Stainless exhaust, Flow masters turned down at back axle. Ford racing valve covers and air cleaners. Have receipts of all parts and machine work. The engine and transmission run out perfectly. Sounds awesome, and of course pretty quick!! Has late model disc brake conversion with brand new master cylinder/booster and front pads. Newer battery, Power steering , Power brakes, late model ford wheels etc.. The body of the truck is in really good shape. There is only one very small rust hole on the exterior of the body located on the lower drivers door section. The rest of the body is really nice with just small amounts of surface rust (nothing major). Perfect rust free floor pans, cab mounts, frame etc... The inside of the bed is really nice with a straight bed floor and nice wheel tubs. There are a couple small pin holes in the bed floor closest to cab , probably not even noticeable in the picture. The interior is also in really good condition with a brand new year specific Ranger xlt bench seat. Nice carpet and dash assembly. If you desire some tunes your going to need to purchase a radio. The original radio bezel is still in the dash. All the gauges,headlights,brake lights, flashers,cargo light, wipers,interior light, etc.. work perfectly as they should. All the glass is in good original condition. Also the lucky winner will be landing a factory installed under dash ac kit. Comes with the ac controls and a few under hood lines to attach to the compressor. This is a direct bolt on factory installed ac kit for this truck. This truck is an awesome fun to drive daily driver only needing minor cosmetics if you wish to bring it to the next level. Draws a lot of attention everywhere you go and mechanically its rite !

NHTSA investigating 500k Ford and Mercury cars for lighting failures
Mon, Apr 6 2015The Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis might be long gone as new models in showrooms, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration might check them out yet again for a potential problem. At the urging of North Carolina Consumers Council, the agency may open another investigation into the front lighting control module on vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years, and NHTSA estimates the issue could affect 517,945 vehicles. If the module stops working, it can cause a complete failure of all forward lighting, including the headlights. NHTSA previously investigated the issue in 2008 and 2009 but found no need for a recall, according to Bloomberg. Ford also extended the warranty on the part to 15 years or 250,000 miles. To prompt this new request, the North Carolina Consumers Council received a letter from a woman experiencing the module's failure. Upon further investigation, the council found 604 complaints of this problem on NHTSA's website, including seven crashes. Furthermore, the group has alleged that dealers told customers that the parts to perform the replacement weren't available, despite the extended warranty. According to the government agency, "A defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and make a grant or deny decision." Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker tells Autoblog via email, "We will cooperate with NHTSA, as we always do." You can read the council's complete letter to the Feds in PDF format, here. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlamp/exterior lighting Date Investigation Opened: APR 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: DP15002 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received a petition from the North Carolina Consumers Council, Inc. requesting a defect investigation of an alleged defect condition resulting in headlight and/or exterior lighting failure on 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles. The petition letter is attached for review. The petitioner alleges a defect in the lighting control module that powers the headlights which can result in the loss of vehicle headlights and/or all exterior lighting while driving. ODI has previously investigated this issue under PE08-066 which was closed without a defect finding.
GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings
Thu, 31 Jul 2014The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
