1975 Ford Bronco Barn Find on 2040-cars
Anderson, Alabama, United States
I have my barn find 75 ford bronco for sale, I don't know much about these trucks, I just knew I wanted one, so when I got the chance to buy one sitting in a shed for years, I jumped on it. I had hopes of restoring it, cleaned it up, bought parts, and...... haven't worked on it much since I got it (over a year ago), letting it take up space, so its time to turn it over to someone who will give it the love it deserves. I bought brake hardware kits and shoes for the front and rear, and one wheel cylinder for the front and one for the rear (all the parts house had at the time), new electric fuel pump (installed), & new bushwacker fender flares mounted (gaskets are included, but not installed). The interior is not in bad shape, the prior owner must have liked the wood grain door panels, but I also have what looks to be the original steel door panels. The seats have had vinyl dye sprayed on them, so they look newer than they are, and they are not mounted. It could use front floor pans if you were going to restore it, since the prior owner was apparently a master sheet metal worker and did any and all floor patches with galvanized sheet metal and painted it to match the rest of the interior. the glass is good, windows roll down, and the top can come off when unbolted. the motor did start, haven't tried to start it in a while, but the motor was real weak, didn't leak oil or smoke, but it was weak. it may have a popped out freeze plug, or a blown head gasket, because coolant leaks out soon after you put it in. I'm not sure what size motor it has, and I'm not sure how you could tell since there is so little room to look for codes under the hood. it does have dual gas tanks, and holds fuel in one of the tanks, haven't tried the other. I also have the rear tire carrier, but I don't think I have the hinge part that bolts to the body, and the front axle has manual hubs. feel free to ask me any questions, as I stated earlier, I don't know much about these trucks, this was my first and only one, but this one has plenty of character, and I haven't seen one like it before. bill of sale only, Alabama didn't require one on vehicles this old. but I do know that you can get a new title generated (at least here in Alabama) for $150. thank you for looking |

Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions
Fri, 08 Mar 2013As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
2017-19 Ford Super Duty trucks recalled for tailgates that could open
Fri, Dec 6 2019Ford announced two separate recalls today, though neither has resulted in any known injuries. The first recall, which deals with a tailgate malfunction, affects 261,617 examples of 2017-2019 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty pickups. The second, which anticipates the possibility of a fuel leak, affects 3,893 units of 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator SUVs with 3.0-liter engines. Ford says tailgates might accidentally open on some 2017-2019 Super Duty trucks because of a short circuit. If the pickups have an electric tailgate latch-release switch on the tailgate handle, water might get into the wiring. If the water hits the right spots, a short circuit could cause the switch to release the tailgate latch. In a worst-case scenario where the tailgate opens while driving, contents of the truck's bed could fall out and create a safety hazard. Dealerships will fix the problem by modifying the tailgate frame wiring harnesses with jumper pigtails and install a new tailgate handle release switch. Of the lot, 231,664 trucks are in the U.S., and 29,953 are in Canada. The Ford recall number is 19S48. The second recall is much smaller, involving fewer than 4,000 vehicles. In certain 2020 Explorers and Aviators with 3.0-liter engines, Ford says, "The convolute protective sleeve on the liquid fuel line is not long enough, which may allow for potential hard contact with the convolute-protected vapor fuel line. Over time, with vibration and engine roll, hard contact between the two fuel lines could cause the convolute on the vapor fuel line to rub through the plastic liquid fuel line." If that happens, it could be a fire risk and hazardous for drivers and passengers. Only 35 of those SUVs are in Canada, and the rest are in the United States. Dealers will fix the problem by replacing the defective convolute with a full-length piece and tying it down with a strap. The recall reference number for the Aviators and Explorers is 19S49. The recall adds to what has otherwise been a rocky early production phase for the new Explorers and Aviators.
