This is a great find!   Built and sold in TX, this truck has been in the same family since 1972.    Everything seems to work on this truck (nothing is botched up) and the odometer reads 88k.   Speedo works, temp gauge, gas gauge, all of it! 

Spend a few hundred bucks making it legal and safe and run it the way it is!   Pictures do not do it justice.   This truck turns heads!   Chicks dig it.   

Rat rod her to your personal preference.  Air bag it!    Run race headers, side pipes...options are endless. 

....or you have a great solid start to a period correct restore.    This is your truck for that too.   

Personally I wouldn't touch that Patina for a long time!   You couldn't ask for a more attention grabbing bad ass truck.   It just looks angry and instantly makes you a tough guy (or girl).    Just going to the gas station I got a crowd of people around me!   My girlfriend said I look sexy in it.  I am very close to not selling this.  

The ORIGINAL 352 V8 was rebuilt with a hipo cam, head work, intake and 4 barrel.   Anyone who knows the FE motor knows what that adds up to....TORQUE MONSTER!   It was set up to run on modern gas, given a healthy cam (nice sounding lope), edelbrock intake and matching 4 barrel carb, ...and then the owner died.   Kind of adds to the trucks mystique I think. 

It has an estimated 5 hours of run time to keep things lubed up.    

I have flushed the gas tank, replaced gas lines, installed an inline fuel filter, a new mechanical fuel pump, and she fired up and runs on all eight like nobodys business.    At least one side of the exhaust is leaking bad at the manifold/exhaust donut, (old school 2' duals with cherry bombs hang in place), but it still sounds great.   I ran it softly to operating temp and flushed out the oil, ran a big magnet through the oil and  It was clean as could be.   Zero smoke, no funny noises, just a solid healthy ford v8 that needs a good tuning. The engine is clean, all gaskets, freeze plugs etc. were replaced and block was repainted blue.    

 If I were to keep it, this would be my path to get it on the road.    
-Two exhaust manifold gaskets (donut between pipe and manifold)   Heck, Id probably spring for a new flowmaster or magnaflow dual set up.   Looks like this exhaust has been with the truck a while....
-New Rubber
-Front shocks
-Drum brake rebuilds (it stops fine but its old and its fast!!!) dont be dumb.   Pads and springs are cheap.
-Set the timing and tune the carb. 
-I would probably update the cassette deck;) 
-Go through front end with a fine tooth comb (safety first)  Replace bushings/ball joints as necessary.   I didn't see anything that needs immediate attention.    

The interior is probably my favorite part!     
The factory seat isn't even worn out!   There is nothing like a Red bench in a black classic pickup!    The headliner and both interior door covers are in amazing shape with just a tinge of Patina... its like a work of art.  You can't help but fall in love with this thing. 

The F100 V8 with the spare tire in the flare side is super rare.   When was the last time you saw one pass you?   It even appears that the original 1967 spare poly tire is mounted.   The bolts have never been turned and it was under cover until now.  

As stated above there is a little decay under the rear fenders below the bed where wasps built large bulletproof nests that held moisture over the years.  This is a seperate bolt in peice!!!   No work at all!!    
There was a nest under the mat in the upper right hand side of passenger floor as well.   Super easy fix.  This is not a unibody vehicle but a heavy duty framed vehicle.  The floor repair is simple and not part of the structural integrity of the vehicle.   One of the doors has a couple of bondo skims (painted black) over small dents, nothing major.  Never in any accidents. 

You will see in the pictures that the owner did a nice job of welding plate steel in the bed over the factory wood planks.  Keep it like that (nice clean welding job), or cut it out and redo the the wood planks underneath for a really cool look. Cherry wood on that Patina with a red interior would look amazing!!!    A little extra weight back there doesn't hurt.  It has a claimed weight around 3000 but it feels a lot lighter then that....

Well that's it for now.     With an average retail of 10k-14k plus in unrestored condition you can bid with confidence that you can't lose money on this beauty.   

Real Mans Truck all the way.     Air conditioning- Rotate front triangular windows inward;)

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.

Ford to show special edition Raptor on April 9

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

There are precious few details, but what we do know is that Ford will be revealing images of "appearance upgrades" for a special-edition 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor on April 9. The slideshow will happen during a Motor Press Guild luncheon at Ford's Design Center Showroom in Irvine, California.
Without photos or further details, we're left to wonder about the extent of these changes, but aren't expecting anything too significant given the venue. Ford is understood to be revealing a next-generation F-150 with a big weight loss - as much as 700 pounds - for 2014, though it isn't yet clear if that's the truck's model year or simply its on-sale year. For at least a couple of years, Ford forums have been suggesting changes will come with the 2014 Raptor, so there could still be a bigger surprise in store. Either way, we'll know what all this means in a little more than a week. The press release below has the official details, but for the moment, we'll content ourselves by ogling the 2013 model above.
