I have owned this truck now since 2007 and when I purchased it, it was in poor shape (however no rust.)  I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours restoring this rust free truck.  I went with an original Ford color from 2005 Ford Zinc Yellow...from the pictures you can see the paint was done right!  The body was pulled off the truck and POR-15 Rust Inhibitive coating was sprayed on undercarriage.  All new Rancho RS9000 shocks were installed along with Fabritech ladder bars in the rear.  The front DANA44 was rebuilt and a ARB Red differential cover.  Most of the undercarriage parts that came off including front coil springs, brackets for shocks and mounts were all powder coated.  Front coil spings were powder coated Red.  All new Grade 8 hardware installed everywhere as well as stainless steel.  New exhaust ran with MagnaFlow stainless mufflers.  Brakes were all gone through and new HAWK SuperDuty brake pads installed up front with new RedPowder Coated calipers along with Earl stainless brake lines.  Truck has all stainless steel brake lines throughout truck!  The Ford 9" rear end has new bearings along with a limited slip differential which makes it run on highways and streets smooth.  The Ford 400M motor was rebuilt and rebuilt Aussie closed chamber heads were installed to wake up the motor.  Edelbrock cam was installed along with Edelbrock intake manifold and street avenger carburetor.  Most parts off motor were also powder coated.  A new Saginaw power steering pump was installed and really removed the old Ford power steering problems.  A new chrome alternator was also installed along with a Optima RedTop battery.  All new wiring and cables installed in motor compartment.  Aluminum pulleys were also installed.  Headlights were also installed with new halogen style bulbs and wiring kit to brighten headlights.  New aluminum Ford grill was installed.  All front end wheel wells and radiator housing was pulled off and powder coated black.  New hood springs installed along with all new rubber moldings for doors, hood, and glass.  Alpine CD player installed with USB hook up.  The old Ford gauges were replaced with a custom bezel and new AutoMeter Z gauges.  All LED Green lighting installed inside all gauges to match stock look with a brighter LED light.  The drivetrain was also gone through and the NP435 manual transmission was rebuilt and a new CenterForce clutch installed with a Ranger 27% overdrive.  The Ranger overdrive is awesome and allows for highway cruising at low RPM's so better fuel economy.  At 75MPH the engine idles at 2100 RPM's which is much better for cruising.  The NP205 transfer case was also rebuilt.  The driveshafts were also renewed with new u-joints and sleeves along with new yokes.  This truck trully has been renewed.  There really is too much to list here.  Interior also has new carpet with insulation.  Also has Corbeau Moab seats that are comfortable.  New seat beats (lap beats as that what was stock in 73.)  Grant leather steering wheel and aluminum kit installed.  Interior trim and headliner are all new.  The air conditioning doesn't work and parts were removed during motor restoration.  Heater works awesome and new heater core and hoses installed.  There is an electric fan and four core radiator that keeps the motor running cool through all conditions.  Tires and wheels are in awesome shape and compliment the truck.  I hope I have captured most of the work put into this truck.  This sale is an as is sale.  I do have a Word document list of all work done and when to the truck along with a lot of part numbers.

Ford Ka Concept shown in Brazil, could enter production by 2014

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

The Ford Ka (pronounce it like a Bostonian saying "car") is the Blue Oval's sub-Fiesta offering in a number of markets that aren't North America. It's been a staple in Europe since it launched in 1996 and in South America since 1997, where it's enjoyed quite a bit of popularity as an affordable, efficient city car.
The European and South American models grew apart over the years, until Europe ended up with a Fiesta-inspired car and Brazil retained a more evolved version of the original Ka's styling. With this Ka Concept, which is really a concept in name only, Ford is previewing a Ka not just for the European market, but as the brand's new, global small car. With city car sales expected to grow dramatically in coming years and the ever increasing price of fuel, Ford's move to get a new, competitive car into the market on a global level isn't surprising.
Wearing Ford's new, familial grille, the Ka Concept features the same crisp, sculpted sheetmetal that's adorned the Fusion and Fiesta. Developed in-house by Ford Brazil, a production version could launch by 2014, according to Ford's press release. It's unclear what engines will sit under this car's hood, although we'd bet the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Fiesta will be available at some point.

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
