1966 Ford F-100 Short Bed with 390 cubic V8 the original manual floor shift. I have a clear title in my name. This is a running, driving, Short Bed Ford Pickup that runs good, shifts smoothly, and stops good. The engine sounds good and has good oil pressure. Please look closely at all of the photos. I have super-sized the photos to assist in evaluating my truck's condition. I want the new owner to know exactly what they are getting. If you have any questions, please give me a call. My home phone, which is still attached to my kitchen wall, is (801) 745-0599. The reserve is substantially less than the truck's value. I'm restoring a 1959 Thunderbird and I need the funds for this project. The original owner told me that the 390V8 engine was the original engine in the truck. The VIN number indicates that it was a V8, but doesn't specify if it was originally a 390. From my research, I found that in late 1966 Ford started using 390 V8s in these trucks, but I'm not sure if the engine is "number matching." In either case, it is a good running 390 that sounds and runs good. There are after-market gauges that work properly attached to the dash under the radio. It has an aftermarket JVC stereo with all of the paper work in the glove box. It has almost new tires. It comes with a spare chrome front bumper, a spare passenger's side fender, extra headlight bezels, and a period correct automatic transmission. Please look at the photos of the spare parts. Everything shown in the photos comes with the truck.

It is a good, 48 year old, truck, but it does have some issues. With this in mind, I will list in detail the negative aspects of my truck. 1. There is rust in the floors. The body and frame are in good shape, but the floors need work. I have been driving it as it is, but I would recommend correcting the floors. 2. There is a rust spot on the front of the hood. Again, please look closely at the photos. 3. The interior is in useable condition, but needs a good cleaning. Under the current seat covers are the original seat covers that are in useable condition. The headliner is in place, but also needs a good cleaning. 3. There are a couple of small dents in the front passenger's side fender. I have collected spare parts for the truck and there is a solid passenger's side fender that comes with it.

A $500.00 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction closing. If you don't have a PayPal account, please give me a call to work out arrangements. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks in your Ebay feedback score please email me or give me a call. My phone number is listed above. I want this to be a good, straightforward, auction. Please check my ebay feedback. I highly value by reputation on Ebay and, as I mentioned, I want the new owner to be satisfied with my truck.

In response to a question from an Ebay member, Yes, this truck can be driven anywhere. It has a new battery, new, professionally installed, dual exhaust pipes and mufflers, as well as almost new tires.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

Ford earnings take a dive on investment, slowing sales; workers get $6,900 in profit sharing

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Ford Motor Company's pre-tax profits for 2014 took a beating, falling to $6.3 billion, a $2.3-billion drop from 2013, while overall revenues fell from $139.4 billion to $135.8 billion. Net income for 2014, meanwhile, plunged 56 percent, from $7.18 billion to $3.19 billion. Yeah, those aren't great numbers. While Ford's figures are largely down across the board, some of the weaker numbers aren't too difficult to explain away. The company launched 24 vehicles across the globe in 2014, including some of its biggest and most important volume models, like the 2015 F-150, as well as iconic offerings like the new Mustang. The result of this is both increased investment as well as a drop in total sales – US market numbers were down 164,000 units compared to 2013. Recall claims and high warranty costs also did a number on the Blue Oval. "2014 was a solid yet challenging year for Ford - with our investments and a record number of new products launched around the world positioning us for strong growth this year and beyond," Ford CEO Mark Fields said in a statement. Ford's 50,180 UAW workers in the United States will receive profit-sharing checks of $6,900. In some markets, Ford's fortunes were impacted by outside factors. Europe, for example, recorded more sales (up 70,000 units) and higher revenues (up $2.2 billion), but still reported a $443-million pre-tax loss. Blame was placed on the crumbling Russian economy, which has suffered from sanctions and slumping oil prices. Despite its troubles last year, the company still seems bullish on 2015. Ford's pre-tax outlook remains unchanged, as the company expects to make anywhere from $8.5 to $9.5 billion on the back of higher revenue from the company's automotive operations. We expect strong growth and improved financial performance in 2015 driven by our investments in new products and capacity," Ford CFO Bob Shanks said of the company's future.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
