First things first I want everyone to be aware of two very important things. 1. This truck is in need of transmission work (read description) 2. This is a true NO RESERVE auction (no fake bids and no games on my end, next Thursday April 18th the high bidder will own it!)


This is a 1996 F250 4X4 7.3 Powerstroke truck for someone that wants a good work truck for a great price. Motor starts up very nice, strong batteries and glow plugs, no heavy smoke or blow by. Once in every 5 turns the starter won't engage, but let is stop and hit it again it will will crank just fine. The transmission will move the truck around in reverse and forward only when it is cold (actually shifts through the gears just fine) but when the fluid gets a bit warm it will stop moving, turn the engine off and put it in gear and it will drive for a few feet again. I'm not sure if it needs a torque converter, transmission pump or just a full out rebuild, either way this is exactly as you will buy it. It will need towed or to be put on a trailer to get it home. Also the left rear leaf spring shackle is rusted through. I am unaware of the condition of any of the brakes, ball joints, tie rods, and the truck has not been checked out or serviced and the PA inspection has just expired. The frame is fairly clean and solid, see pictures. Tires are 50% or so, no major leaks.

Cosmetically it's as you would expect for a Pennsylvania born and raised 17 year old Ford. Rust spots starting in all the usual spots, both bed sides, both extended cab bottoms, both front fender bottoms, tailgate. Not falling apart but she has her fair share of corrosion. No major dents or damage other than the rust, but it is a little faded. It is missing an F250 molding on the one side and some center caps, like I said it's a great work truck. Interior is all there and pretty decent. No major rips or tears, all glass is nice, no bad smells inside either. It could use a clean up.

Here is your chance to get into one of these classic 7.3's for cheap money, I'm letting it rip because I need it off my books next week so if you are a buyer please put your bids in with the intention of owning her, it's a true no reserve guys, don't email me later crying cause someone out bid you for $.01, get your bid in high as you can spend and hopefully you'll get it cheap. Good luck. For all serious questions or concerns or if you want to come take a look at it feel free to give me a call, my name is Zach 717-361-6650. It is being sold by Platinum Car and Truck Sales, LLC in Elizabethtown, PA, it will be sold AS-IS and all proper disclosers will be made in writing at the time of delivery.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
