THIS IS A PROJECT TRUCK. It is mostly whole, and comes with a lot of the parts needed to restore the truck and make it complete. I know very little history on it, but someone before me started a total frame-off restoration of this truck and never finished it. The cab is not the original cab, and some of the parts that come with the truck are from the original cab (which was yellow). I think the current cab is a '71 or '72. In the pictures one corner is up on a jack stand, but it has 4 good tires and wheels.
PLEASE STUDY THE PICTURES CLOSELY AND READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY. I am trying to be as thorough as possible on the description so that you know what you are bidding on. I'm trying to highlight the good with the bad and be as honest as possible. Please use the information and pictures I'm providing to make an educated assessment, as opposed to nit-picking and sending me a message offering me some lowball offer on an outside of ebay transaction. Please don't waste your time.
CAB AND BODY:
It's been my experience that when someone is selling a "rust free" cab, it still has rust if you look closely. Aside from some spots on the passenger side floor (pictured), and very light surface rust on the underside of the floorboards (pictured), this cab is basically a rust free, original, Explorer package, factory A/C equipped cab. I peeled back all the flooring and found 1 TINY pin hole on the passenger side. Aside from that, the floor is sound. There is a little surface rust and some small paint bubbles and chipping, but it is pretty superficial. Other than neutralizing the rust, it shouldn't need any repairs. My guess is that the rust is from A/C condensation dripping on the floor. Check out the pictures, but otherwise the cab looks pretty awesome. The driver's side floor, all the cab mounts, cab corners, rocker panels, cowl, etc. are all incredibly clean and, as far as I can tell, have never been touched. It's in excellent shape.
The cab was originally an auto trans. cab, but the clutch pedal assembly and other associated brackets are included to convert it to be a manual transmission truck.
It appears that all of the cab A/C parts like ducting, condenser, controls, baffles, blower motor, and so on are present. Check the pictures.
Most of the bed is missing, but some of the braces and frame structure can be seen in pictures. Both front fenders and hood are missing. The grill has been sandblasted, but was never painted. The bare metal rusted slightly after sandblasting, but the grill is in excellent condition. It has no damage that I can find, and both headlight buckets and chrome mouldings are present.
The original cab driver's door is still on the truck because that's where the VIN tag is.
The mirrors pictured on the cab are NOT included.
CHASSIS AND DRIVETRAIN:
The frame has all been stripped, primed, and painted black (it has a few nicks and scratches). The axles have also received the same treatment. All of the brake lines, emergency brake cable assembly, brakes shoes and hardware, u-joints, drive shafts (rear is damaged, see picture), leaf spring bushings, body mounts (one is missing), radius arm bushings, as well as plenty more misc. parts ARE ALL BRAND NEW. It looks like pretty much every little spring, clip, piece of linkage, etc., was either replaced with a brand new unit or worked fine and was cleaned up and painted. The person who started the restoration looks like they tended to lean toward buying a brand new part instead of reconditioning an old one.
- front axle is Dana 44 with lockouts (matching gears for rear)
- rear axle is Ford 9" with 3.73 gears. NOTE: It appears to have some sort of traction device- either a locker or limited slip. When I turned a sharp corner while towing it on a dolly, one tire would hop or chirp a little. When you jack up the rear end and spin one tire, both turn the same way freely, which I believe means it's NOT an open diff.
- transfer case is a Dana 21
- transmission is a 4 speed manual New Process. I'm guessing a 435, but I don't know.
- the truck originally had a 300 straight six, but it is gone
- brakes are 4 wheel drums
THE INCIDENT:
The person I bought this truck from forgot to tighten all the lug nuts and, as I was towing the truck home on a dolly, the driver's side rear wheel parted ways with the truck. The wheel and brake drum flew off into the night never to be seen again. Consequently, the backing plate on the axle has some minor damage from dragging (pictured), which can easily be heated and bent back. As a result, that brake drum is missing and one wheel and tire is different than the other 3. The wheel studs are okay, and other than the edges of the brake shoes being a little rough, everything else appears to be fine and intact. I put a spare on and made the rest of the trip home with no problem.
PARTS:
Look at the pictures. If it was worth mentioning, I've addressed it or included it in the pictures. If it's not pictured, either it's too minor to mention or it's one of the parts that the truck is missing. That said, there are several boxes of little parts like knobs and latches and screws and clips and springs from the truck that go with it.
THIS IS A PROJECT TRUCK AND SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTEE. I have described and pictured the truck and parts to the best of my abilities. If you have any questions, please ask. Since the truck does not run and drive, and I'm not able to test each part, I cannot guarantee that every single part on the truck is in working order. Based on the info I had when I purchased it, and by the amount of work and detail that the previous owner put into it when starting the restoration, I believe most, if not all parts on the truck and sold with the truck are functional. But, as I mentioned, I cannot and will not guarantee anything because I am unable to do so. Please bid accordingly.
PURCHASE, PICK-UP, AND PAYMENT:
LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY. I WILL NOT SHIP THIS TRUCK. If you want to have a carrier or other party pick up the truck, you may, but that is 100% your responsibility. THE TRUCK MUST BE PICKED UP WITHIN 7 CALENDAR DAYS OF THE SALE. It is located at a residence which is accessible with a tow truck, pickup and trailer, or flatbed tow truck. No semi access. The truck has 4 tires and wheels and rolls freely. Please plan your transport accordingly before purchasing.
A Paypal deposit of $500 dollars is due within 24 hours of purchase, and the remaining balance is due in full at or before time of pick-up in cash or cashiers check ONLY. I have a clean title, with no leins, in my name, in hand. After I have receive full payment, and at the time of pick-up, it's all yours.

Ford has a long history of offering special editions of its legendary Mustang. One of the most vaunted of those trim packages, though, has only been offered twice. The first time was in 2001, and then again in 2008. Yes, we're talking about the Bullitt.
Named for the infamous Dark Highland Green Mustang Fastback driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 cop melodrama Bullitt, the car was famous for not just its pilot, but the high-speed chase it took part in during the movie. Now, we think we have images of the next Bullitt.
According to our spy photographers, the paint is a "dead-ringer" for the Dark Highland Green that has signified these special edition Mustangs. While we're inclined to agree, it's also worth pointing out that this shade looks very similar to one of the 2015's other new colors, Guard. We've yet to see one on the road (let alone in such dreary conditions), so it's tough to say for certain.

The Basics: Takata, the beleaguered airbag supplier at the root of the largest recall in automotive history, has informed Ford of a problem with the airbags in just over 30,000 Ford and Lincoln models. The problem is not related to the non-desiccated ammonium nitrate airbag inflators that plague the other airbags ( including many Fords), meaning there isn't a risk of shrapnel flying out from the units in this particular recall. The Problem: In the event of an accident, the front airbags may only partially inflate, and the airbag may become detached from the module because of misaligned parts. The problem affects 2016 and 2017 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models built at the Oakville Assembly Plant. The issue also affects 2017 Lincoln Continentals that were built at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Injuries/Deaths: In a release, Ford stated that it is not aware of any accidents, injuries, or deaths related to the airbag issue. The Fix: Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag module at no cost. If You Own One: Sit tight and wait for Ford to notify owners. When that happens, take your car to the dealer for a replacement. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
