I'm selling 1968 Ford F100 Custom Cab longbed converted to shortbed. Frame was sectioned and boxed professionally. Driveshaft was shortened and balanced professionally also. Then a shortbed box was installed from 1967 F100. The truck has new custom machined American Racing Torq Thrust wheels size 17x8 with 255/50-17 tires all around. The truck has tilt steering column, power steering, power disc brakes and front suspension from a 1977 F-100. Steering wheel is a leather Nardi 14 inch. The gauge cluster is from a F600 truck from the same era. All gauges work except speedometer but the Gps is what I use to gauge speed. Has a double din Kenwood stereo with Gps, Navigation, and IPod controls. Dynamat installed throughout cab. Has aftermarket cruise control and power windows. AC Unit is from Classic Air products. The engine is 360FE Big Block stroked to 410ci. There is a RV style camshaft for excellent torque and great idle qualities aswell as a slightly lumpy muscle idle. Has Long tube exhaust Headers with Magnaflow Mufflers and resonators for a quiet sound. Engine has an aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold with a Holley street avenger Carb. The transmission is NV4500 5 speed from a 2001 Dodge Ram with an Advance Adapter kit mated to the original bellhousing. This transmission was chosen to handle the torque from the big block engine and for the added economy of the 5th gear. Truck drives well and can be driven daily. Have some receipts for the work on the truck. I'm asking a fraction of what was spent to get it to this point. Still needs a few more things especially paint and bodywork. Has some rust spots on lower corners of fenders and both door lower corners. Has surface rust on bed area. Has small dent on front of hood. Windshield has a crack about 6 inches on passenger side. The windshield doesnt really bother the view since its on the very right. I will throw in an extra door and some misc parts. Unfortunately I have to sell truck to fund my other project. My loss your gain like the saying says!! Tags are up to date just transfer and drive!
Valve covers leak a little so I'm including gaskets and sealant.
NO RESERVE!! Listed locally so I reserve the right to end auction at anytime

Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
Ford cuts production at 5 plants, has big backload of cars including Mustang
Wed, Sep 20 2017DETROIT — Ford said on Tuesday it plans to idle five North American vehicle assembly plants for a total of 10 weeks to reduce inventories of slow-selling models. The plants affected include three assembly plants in the United States and two in Mexico, the company said in a statement. The vehicle models include the Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ midsize sedans, the Ford Focus compact car, the Lincoln Continental and Ford Mustang, Ford Fiesta and the Ford Transit van. Ford said the Cuautitlan assembly plant that builds the Fiesta would be idled for three weeks. The Hermosillo, Mexico plant that builds the Fusion and MKZ and the Flat Rock, Michigan, factory that assembles Continentals and Mustangs will be idled for two weeks each. The Michigan Assembly plant that builds the Focus will be idled for one week, and the Kansas City assembly line that builds Transit vans will be down for two weeks. Ford did not give dates for the temporary shutdowns. The factories involved employ more than 15,000 people, according to Ford's website. The company did not say how many of those workers would face temporary layoffs. As of Sept. 1, Ford had 111 days' worth of unsold Mustangs, 87 days' supply of Fusions, and a 103 days' supply of Transit vans, according to Automotive News. Dealers had enough unsold Lincoln Continentals to last 162 days. Automakers aim for 65 to 70 days of inventory of most models. Ford and rival General Motors have wrestled most of this year to rein in high inventories of passenger cars as consumers have shifted to buying pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. Production cuts slice into revenue, but also could help the automakers avoid deeper price cuts on vehicles they can sell.
