1989 Ford F-250 Xlt Lariat Long Bed 4wd 88,217 Original Miles Reading Body Tow P on 2040-cars
Palmerton, Pennsylvania, United States
This truck is in great working condition. I have always fixed everything that came up, with the exception of the air conditioning, which I bypassed the compressor when it went with a shorter belt to get better gas mileage. I am the second owner. I bought the truck from the original owner in Feb., 2008. It had 79,000 miles on it. It now has 88,217 miles, so I put 9,000 miles on it in 6 years. 5,000 of those miles was in 2008 when I took it to Idaho (from Pennsylvania) for an elk hunting trip. I put the tires on it new for that trip, so they have 9,000 miles on them. I always had the oil changed every year at inspection time, even though the truck was generally run about 600 miles a year. It has always been kept in a garage since I have had it.
I recently had all the body work done where rust was coming through. Also new strong arms on the lift hatch on the Reading body. The Reading body is awesome. I used it to store my tools for handyman work. The lumber rack is really sturdy. I also have slept in the cap on overnight trips very comfortably. It is a full 8 foot size bed and a 4x8 sheet of drywall or plywood fits in it easily. It has a tow package on it, including a brake lever inside. There is also a receiver on the front of the truck for a winch or for parking implements or trailers more easily than backing them in. Also included are a pair of Michelin LTX A/S LT 225/75 R16 mounted on wheels, another pair of steel wheels, and the original spare tire mounted on yet another wheel. Here is a list of the work I have done on it since I have had it: installed new parts -belts -air filter -water pump -alternator -timimg cover -thermastat -front crank seal -distributer -distributer cap -plugs, wires. -valve cover gaskets -oil pan gasket -rear main seal - engine mounts -transmission front pump seal - muffler -tailpipe -fuel filter -fuel pump -fuel tank -fuel tank sending unit & pump -brake lines & brakes |

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]
Wed, 28 Aug 2013When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
Ford 'working very hard' on F-150 hybrid
Thu, Dec 4 2014The lighter, aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 gets (at best) 26 miles per gallon. That's not bad for a truck that size – and we should always remember that improving gas guzzlers can make a big difference – but what if the popular truck came with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain? How efficient would that be? We heard Ford talking about such a vehicle last year, and now we learn that Ford is still "working very hard" to make a F-150 hybrid happen. You want details? Well, we all want details, but those will not be coming for quite some time. Last year, Ford's global product development chief, Raj Nair, said that the company was planning to have hybrid pickups and hybrid SUVs on sale by 2020. With fuel prices dropping, Nair is now saying that a hybrid F-150 makes more sense, financially, than a diesel, but Ford could make both options available, depending on customer demand. The diesel wouldn't require all that much work, Nair said, since "we've got diesels in the portfolio." To date, the only hybrid F-150s we've seen have been conversions, often PHEVs, like this example from HVET or this one from Quantum. Pickup trucks from other manufacturers haven't been greeted with huge sales numbers. General Motors stopped making its big two-mode hybrids and cancelled the next-gen program.
Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
