Rust free 1966 F100.  Arizona vehicle.  Engine runs strong and the truck is very fast--until the manual transmission locked up.  It is a NP435 with the first gear granny.  It is now stuck in gear and makes noise. These are relatively easy to rebuild.  The external case is not leaking and it was getting progressively harder to shift gears over the last few months.  I had local quotes of $600.00 plus parts to remove, rebuild and replace the unit at Four Wheelers Supply in Phoenix, Arizona: 602-273-7195.  The transfer case looks to be a Dana 24 divorced style.  In other words the transfer case is NOT attached to the transmission.  The two are connected by a drive shaft approximately 20" long.  This is how Ford made these trucks in 1966.  The benefit is that any car type transmission can be used with out an adapter.  Simply use a short drive shaft coupled to the Dana 24.  I have a lead on a C4 Automatic for the 390 FE with low miles complete with torque converter and a Lokar shifter that can be had for under $700.00 locally.  It was still available when I checked at the time of this posting.


The front axle is a ball joint style Dana 60.  From the lug nuts it looks to be one ton.  The rear axle is either a Dana 60 or Dana 70.  Also one ton lug pattern.  The wheels look to be real Alcoa's and the BFG tires are like new.  The bed has has been sprayed by Inyati.

There is NO RUST on this truck.  As is NONE.  As in it never had any.  It is solid.

The paint job looks good from 6' away but is by no means show quality.  It is a basic low budget paint job but as I said it looks good.

The FE390 runs very strong.  Looks to have some oil leaking from the pan.  I do not believe that this is the original motor.  As indicated, before the transmission locked up this truck was fast.  Transfer case works fine, its a two speed: low and high.

Truck will roll onto a flat bed and engine starts right up.

The front springs have had the shackle reversal.  For put the piviot in the front at the factory.  All modern leaf spring vehicles have the pivot in the rear of the spring.

I am an Arizona attorney and I can be found in the Arizona Bar registry.  I can be reached at 602-616-3375 from 9 am to 10 pm Arizona time.

Ford patents a multi-touch version of its classic keypad

Fri, Sep 9 2016

For decades, Ford has offered a keypad on the doors of their cars that would allow owners access with the right code. Amazingly, the keypad has survived almost unchanged except for a recent touch button version. A new patent from the Blue Oval shows the keypad may get a big upgrade soon. The first big change is that it looks like the keypad may move to the key fob. Although it might be possible to have it on the car itself as well, the patent only seems to focus on the key fob. In addition, the fob will now be a multi-touch pad similar to that of modern smartphones. This will allow for more diverse code entries, according to the patent's description. Instead of just a simple number code, owners could enter a code that involves swipes and keystrokes, and even simultaneous keystrokes. For instance, you could enter a code that requires swiping from 1 to 3, followed by holding 2 and 4 to unlock the car. The patent also seems to indicate that this keypad would then display unlock functions and other functions on the fob after the correct code is entered, thus making it more than just a way to unlock the car. As for the practical implications of this keypad system update, it could provide an added layer of security. If someone steals your keys, they would have to also know your access code to get into the car. Whether this would also help make the key and car harder to hack would remain to be seen, though. Another possible benefit could be the prevention of accidental lock and alarm button presses, although that likely isn't a common issue. There could be potential downsides as well. If used as an extra layer of security, the legitimate owner would have to punch in their code on the fob to get in, which would render proximity key benefits relatively useless. Moving the keypad to the fob would also mean owners couldn't get into their cars without having the key with them. We don't have any clues as to when this could become a feature, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to implement, so it could show up in the next few years.

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014



The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Lincoln Continental production likely to shift to Flat Rock

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Lincoln production may be returning to Michigan, according to a new report from Automotive News. While the brand's current big sedan, the MKS, is built alongside the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer, and their Police Interceptor counterparts at the Blue Oval's Chicago, IL factory, the production version of the Continental won't be screwed together in the Windy City. According to AN, "industry sources" claim the Continental will join the Ford Mustang and Ford Fusion – on which the big Lincoln is loosely based – at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. The move isn't just based on convenience, though. Ford is selling a lot of Explorers, and shifting Lincoln production away from Chicago Assembly frees up production capacity for the popular SUV. "Chicago Assembly Plant is vital to our global manufacturing footprint and will continue to manufacture the Ford Taurus, Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor vehicles even after we phase out production of the MKS in 2016," Ford told Automotive News. "We will continue to match production to demand." Looking at the numbers further backs up the argument against Lincoln production in Chicago. Last year alone, Ford built nearly 285,000 Explorers and over 73,000 Taurus sedans, compared to just 8,300 Lincolns. Finally, as AN tells it, Ford is almost telegraphing the Continental's arrival in Flat Rock. The facility has a four-week shut down scheduled from June 15 through July 13, which is twice as long as the typical summer vacation, while there's another two weeks off slated for September.
