Up for sale is one RARE 1979 F350 4X4
Located in Moab, UT

NO RESERVE!  HIGHEST BID GETS THE TRUCK!

This is a factory 1979 F350 regular cab truck with a all steel flatbed.  The truck retains it's factory drive train including the very desirable High Pinion Dana 60 front axle (this axle alone is worth $1000-1500).  It has 410 gears with a locker in the rear.  The truck has the factory manual 4 speed transmission and NP205 transfercase.  It just passed Utah's state safety inspection a couple of weeks ago and is current on it's registration.  Clear and clean title in hand with utah license plates and registration.

This drivetrain set up is very desirable.  If you add lift springs to this truck you can run BIG tires reliably on the stock drivetrain without further modification. 

The GOOD: Truck starts every time and can be driven anywhere.  4WD works great.  Has engine block heater for cold weather.  Tires and not new, but not needing replaced either.  Set up for bumper or gooseneck towing.  No visible rust showing.  Dual fuel tanks are functional.

The BAD: Body has dents, dings and needs TLC.  Interior is typical for a 1979 Ford - Dash cover is cracked from the sun, bench seat is saggy in the drivers position, speedometer works on and off, e-brake bracket needs to be reattached (but e-brake is otherwise functional), heater doesn't work, and carpet was replaced by some household shag carpet.  Front tank could use a filler hose replacement.  Brakes pull slightly to the left when applied.  Transmission doesn't down shift into 3rd without priming it by trying to put it into 2nd (but it has been that way for a long long time).  Drivers door shuts funny and could use a new hinge, but still latches and opens fine.  The rear passenger mudflap flew off on the highway after I took the pictures.  I am sure there is something I might be forgetting, but like I said - it just passed the Utah state safety inspection and is a registered driver.

THE BOTTOM LINE:  If you are interested in this truck, you likely know that it is a rare truck with a very desirable drivetrain.  It runs great, will go anywhere, and is ready to tackle any job you throw at it.

I wanted to keep this truck around because it is a great work truck, but I have to sell to fund another project I am working on.  If you have questions feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Located in beautiful Moab, UT.  Local pickup or buyer arranged shipping only.  Cashier's check/money order/personal check if shipping or cash in person only.   Buy must wait for personal checks to clear before the vehicle will be released.

Plan a trip for Easter Jeep Safari in Moab to pick this truck up!

Feel free to Call or Text me at (916) 220-3857.  I don't respond to calls Friday night to Saturday night sundown.

Ford exec downplays idea of aluminum-intensive cars

Thu, Jan 15 2015

Ford certainly made waves when it rolled out the all-new 2015 F-150 made primarily out of aluminum. But while trimming weight off its vehicles is a top priority for the Detroit automaker, we shouldn't expect the lightweight metal to be used as widely on passenger cars as it has been on its new pickup. Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress on Wednesday, top Ford exec Joe Hinrichs said that using aluminum in passenger cars isn't as beneficial as it is in trucks – primarily because the weight savings isn't as dramatic, or as deeply needed. Though improved fuel economy is certainly one advantage of aluminum construction in a truck like the F-150, low prices at the pump have prompted Ford to highlight another advantage, and that's capability: With less weight on its own, a lighter-weight truck can carry and tow more than a heavier one, because it all comes down to combined weight ratings. Ford is expected to make the new F-Series Super Duty largely out of aluminum for the same reasons, and we wouldn't be surprised to see the next Expedition use the material as well. But while certain components in Ford passenger cars will be made of aluminum, we shouldn't expect entire chassis and bodywork assemblies to use the material as extensively as on the F-150, or on more upscale passenger cars from the likes of Audi or Jaguar. Dearborn is, however, investing in other lightweight materials. It has a joint venture with Dow Chemical to put carbon fiber into mass production, much as BMW has with its i3. The Blue Oval will use a combination of carbon and aluminum on its 2017 GT supercar, and it has stripped weight by removing amenities from the 2016 Mustang GT350R, but apparently neither is a method Ford can practically apply to its volume models.

Ford starting up 2.0L EcoBoost engine production in Ohio

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Joe Hinrichs, Ford's President of The Americas (pictured above), announced today that in late 2014, the automaker will be building the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder at its Cleveland Engine Plant, a move requiring a $200-million investment and the hiring of 450 new employees. European-built Ford products will continue to source this engine from the Valencia, Spain plant where all of these EcoBoost four-cylinder engines are currently built, and the new Cleveland engines will be used for all North American-made models.
Ford is planning to build its popular EcoBoost engines regionally to maximize production capacity and meet customer demand. Last year, Ford sold 334,364 vehicles with EcoBoost engines in the US alone, and that number is expected to swell to more than 500,000 by the end of this year, with global sales expected to total 1.6 million. By 2015, Ford says that 95 percent of its nameplates will offer an EcoBoost engine.
One such vehicle that could be adding an EcoBoost engine, according to Automotive News, is none other than the 2015 Ford Mustang. The report says that Ford could use either the 2.0-liter EcoBoost or an upcoming 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the sixth-generation pony car.
