I love this truck. It was a gift from my wife for my 70th birthday. It always starts right up and runs great. Cruises right along just fine even at 70mph. Drives straight down the road and stops straight. Power steering conversion kit. Power disk brake kit, disk in front and drum in rear. It is an older restoration with some modifications. Reverse chrome rims (I love the look of chrome reverse rims) with baby moons. Original gas gauge and speedometer/odometer work. Mileage shows 74,139 and that is probably very close for the chassis/body but the engine is not original-its' a 351 Cleveland but I don't know what year. Supplemental oil, temp and amp gauges work. Turn signals work although sometimes when you turn left it doesn't automatically cancel. Windshield wipers work fine. Headlights and tail lights work. Tilt wheel. Interior is very tastefully finished with gray/maroon vinyl that looks like leather.
The 351C Ford engine has been rebuilt and increased to 400 with a C6 transmission that shifts very smoothly. Running boards are new fiberglass. Gas tank is also new. Rear end is Dodge 8&3/4 inch limited slip. Bed floor is oak with metal strips and although the oak looks good in the pics, in my opinion the oak needs to be refinished. The bed on this truck is not the original as you can see in the pics. I don't know if it is a reproduction or from another kind of truck. You can see that the top of the sides is flat rather than slanted. I like it this way but have never seen another of this vintage with this "feature". Has a B&M shifter. Glass is all good and looks new to me with tint on sides and back window. Dual exhaust sounds really nice. The paint job is quite old (not sure when it was painted) and has some scratches, nicks, chips, cracks but looks really good from a few feet away. I'm embarrassed to say that the color is a Chrysler color. It shines up really well.
Instead of chains on the tailgate, I put nylon ropes because I didn't want the metal chains banging against the gate. Has a Sony radio with cassette player (nothing special) and seems to work OK but I can't figure out how to set the time on the display. There is a picture of it but I have to tell you that there is a screw through the roof. You can't see it till you get in the bed and look down on it or unless you are seven feet tall. I didn't find this till I had owned it for about six months. I have no idea why it's there. I'm trying to think of something else to say but can't. Email me with questions. I don't have anything to hide.
As with all cars/trucks sold on ebay, there is no warrantee/guarantee, etc. I believe the terminology is "as is/where is". I have tried to give you a truthful and detailed description of this truck but please don't hesitate to email me with questions. Or come and take a look and drive it. Buyer is of course responsible for shipping or pickup. I need a non-refundable $1000 deposit within 48 hours via paypal and then the rest in certified cashiers bank check or cash in the next five days. Unlike all the dealers seem to be doing these days, I am not going to charge you a "doc" fee.
Now for the problem.................... Why am I selling this truck if I like it so much???????????It's my wife (the little sweetheart). She hasn't bought into the concept of a collection and won't let me have more than one classic car/truck at a time (bummer) and I have my eye on a Ranchero. And, she won't let me buy it till I have this one sold even if I promise to sell it right after the new one arrives. Double bummer....................... |

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns
Wed, Sep 30 2015Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.
