I have decided to sell my hard work (and $$) of the past two years. The truck has been totally gone through in that time. it is very reliable and have used it as daily transportation in the summer from time to time.

BODY: The paint and body work had been performed by the previous ower in 2010. It has a sticker from the body shop who did the work in the glove box lid. I would consider the work to be a real nice "5 footer" paint job. That being said there are some flaws like a fish eye or two and some dust in the finish that still could be sanded or wheeled out. You would need to look for these areas but i will disclose that. Also there are two spots that have a crack in the paint that have been there and not gotten worse since i have owned it. All of the door jams and underside of doors are rust free and clean. I send HOURS scrubbing and cleaning the frame and underside of the truck and POR 15 and under coated it.

INTERIOR:All gauges and wiring work as they should. I have added a headlight harness to take the stress off of the head light switch and factory wiring. The interior is from a Ranger package and is in very nice driver condition with no rips or tears. There is just one same crack in the driver seat that is not a issue at this time.I have a nice radio with four speakers and a small powered sub under the back seat. I also added a Brono Bob family cage for protection. It does have a soft top that is in good condition except it has a 2"x2" hole that had to be repaired.

DRIVETRAIN: This Truck was built from a mix of a 1968 and a 1977 Bronco. the drive train is from the much more desirable 1977. the motor is a 302 that does not tick,knock or smoke. the compression i checked when i got it was around 130PSI and very consistant. It like all old cars/truck leaks a bit of oil after each drive. I belive the leak is from the rear main seal, but is very light. I have replaced the voltage regulator, distributor was rebuilt, new power steering pump, new radiator, hooker headers,intake gaskets, termastat, plugs, belts, hoses, starter, ect. rebuilt carb, manual choke.It has Dana 44 front axel with disk brakes, a Ford 9" rear end, and a Dana J shift transfer case.I replaced the rear axel bearings and seals. The diff fluids have been replaced. I belive the rear also is a ford trac lock posi.The trans is a C4 automatic that was just rebuilt along with the transfer case less then 2000 miles ago.

SUSPENTION: It has a 2 1/2" lift. It also has duel shocks at all corners. I have replaced all of the rear suspention, BDS shocks, and DEAVER 11 pack rear springs and all bushings.

WHEELS: new set of american racing Outlaw II wheels with 32" BFG KM2 mud terrains. Maybe 2000 miles on them.

Im sure i am missing alot as i did sooo much to this truck, These are the best photos i have available right now, as it is in the garage in storage. I encourage you to call and ask questions and ask for pictures if needed.I also would encourage you to come look at it in person at delivery if possable but will Help ship once all money has been collected.Iwill ask for a 500 non refundable deposit with in 24 hours of auction end, and final payment with in 4 days. I will store it as long as nessary where it sits once paid for.

Good luck and happy biding, truck is for sale locally so i may end auction at anytime.

contact me @ bglossinger@gmail.com and leave me your name and number to call you back for any detail needed.

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.

Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.

Ford Escort returns, just not for US

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
