I FOUND THIS TRUCK ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO...Barn find. STORED ABOUT 17 YEARS...The truck had been modified back in the 1970's. I just wanted to restore what was there.....Here is what I've done so far.....

  • Engine is about a 1971 302. I cleaned the fuel tank, put on a new fuel pump, rebuilt the carburator, new wires, new plugs, new electronic ignition, new 1 wire alternator, new starter, rewired everything and got it running. It runs good
  • Transmisson is a FMX 3-speed automatic. Changed filter & fluid. It works and shifts good, but park does not work. I added a neutral safety switch from Dakota Digital
  • Rear End is a Dana 41. I put in all new Yoke, bearings and seals. Gears are 3:73. I didn't replace them. They seem pretty good.
  • I welded up all the visible rust. The body ended up fairly straight. Paint is Hot Rod Black Urethane and Red Oxide primer with a Urethane clear coat to protect the original petina on the doors and cab
  • All new white oak wood floor in box with stainless steel hardware and Urethane finish
  • Interior - Custom all steel dash with dakota digital guages and new stereo. Mustang steering wheel. Mustang bucket seats recovered. New Carpet. Painted flames on dash & diamond plate on door panels. Rest is hot rod black. Seat belts are vintage military lap belts
  • All new brakes and brake hardware. New dual master cylinder mounted on firewall
  • Original straight axle & manual steering with all new tie rod ends
  • All new shocks
  • I replaced the Tires with some good used ones. The wheels were on there, so I stripped, refinished & clearcoated them.
  • Guages are used Dakota Digital. They all seem to work except for the gas guage. I put a new float in the gas tank, but still needs something.  I added a Dak Dig neutral safety. Now it shows the gears on the dash also. Turn signals & safety flashers also work.
  • Electrical...I rewired everything and put new light bulbs and sockets in. Everything is 12 volts, New battery.
  • Glass is all new
  • Rubber weatherstrip is all new
  • Window fuzzies are all new. Windows roll up and down nice
  • There is a heater in the cab, but it isn't hooked up. That will need some attention
  • Clear South Dakota Title. Truck has historical plates. You will need your own plates
  • Buyer is responsible for all transportation costs. I will assist in loading on your truck any way I can
  • Terms are CASH. Nothing Less. I would like something down and the balance when you pick up the truck. I will not let the truck go without full payment. There are no warranties. once the truck is paid for it's yours, so make sure before you buy. I will represent it as honestly as I can, but the buyer is ultimately responsible. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOUR CONCERNS ARE SATISFIED.

IT NEEDS: to have park repaired. Get gas guage working. Heater refurbished. Back bumper if you want one. Could use a New Exhaust system 

I just restored what was done in the '70's so some of the original work is kind of crude. The motor mounts and trans mounts are home-made, but they work. The original frame has some welding on it, but it's solid. I would call it a survivor hot rod truck. RUNS & DRIVE. It goes down the road pretty darn good. . Engine has good power and trans is a good shifter. Brakes & steering are manual, but work like they did back in the day.

Please express any questions or concerns.

Ford previews new C-Max ahead of upcoming debut

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Looking at a Ford Focus? These days you can get it as a five-door hatch, a four-door sedan, or... that's all. European buyers don't even get our sedan, but they do get a wagon. And while the three-door hatch, two-door coupe and two-door cabrio have long since ended production, buyers around the world can also get the company's larger C-Max. And now, like the Focus upon which it's based, Ford is preparing to roll out a new version.
The tall wagon (or small minivan, depending on your perspective) is being treated to what Ford says is "an extreme makeover." Details to accompany the teaser image above remain few and far between, but following the spy shots we recently posted, it looks destined for some of the same visual updates as Ford rolled out on the 2015 Focus, with "even more refinement, practicality and technology."
Like the Mercedes B-Class, which is only available Stateside as an EV, American buyers can only get the C-Max in electrified form, either as the C-Max Hybrid or C-Max Energi. Overseas buyers, however, will be able to choose from a range of powertrain options and two wheelbase lengths - the longer of which boasts seven seats and the Grand C-Max name. (Remember when Chrysler did the same with its minivans?) Both are set to debut on September 17, so watch this space. After that, we'll expect to see it on display at the Paris Motor Show.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ford E-Series chassis cabs and cutaways to survive mass Transit onslaught

Fri, 18 Apr 2014

In March 2013, Ford announced we'd be getting chassis cab and cutaway versions of the Transit. Since incoming Transit vans will soon be rolling over the grave of the E-Series van, it was assumed that all E-Series models would go six feet under as well. According to a report from PickupTrucks.com, however, that's not the case, the report claiming that the highly modifiable E-350 and E-450 chassis cab and cutaway versions will continue being produced in Avon Lake, Ohio "at least until 2020."
Being decades old, the be-cabbed E-Series platform has found its way under an army of heavy-duty shuttle buses, work truck and ambulances. Ford spokeswoman Jessica Enoch verified the production horizon, telling Autoblog that the particular E-Series configuration "are a higher GVWR than the Transit chassis cab and cutaway (available this summer), which is more Class 2 and a new segment for us." So there you have it.
