Ok, so I am relisting my truck with a very low reserve. It needs to go to a good home and to someone who will drive it. I can give you a hint..reserve is between $3750 and $3850. The truck is worth much more in my eyes but I know what she can do and what I've done to her. But she needs to find a home. So here is what you are looking at =
This is a 1969 F100 long bed (8ft) "Custom Cab". The truck has a 360 engine but I was told that it was bored to the 390. I never went into her to find out if that was a fact or not but I can tell you she has more power than you will ever need. I bought this truck from a farmer in Georgia, which it still has the Decatur. Ga dealer metal plate on it, and made it my loving project for 5yrs. The engine runs super strong and has even compression. Living in Charleston parking can be a problem so I did convert her to power steering. I wanted to keep the "3 on the tree" configuration so I modified the steering shaft. The power steering box came out of a 1972. I left the breaks original but I did have my mechanic run all new lines and we dropped in a new master cylinder. We also wanted to put in a new edelbrock carb so we went ahead and did that. All the body work was done by me. I took the entire exterior body apart and sanded her down and primed and painted her. The bed was in such good shape, all I did was rolled on a bed liner. All the steel is good, the bed isn't even warped on bit. All the trim and the grill is original or bought through Denise Carpenter (the only company that carried certified Ford parts). The interior is super clean. The seat is original and I was planning on having it re-covered, but I never got to it (hence the saddle cover). The dash is new ( I replaced it). and the all gauges are in working order.
the cons on this truck:
1) the passenger window needs some love on the track. she sticks at times.
2) the key that starts the truck is the key that unlocks the passenger door only. I had to do work on the lock system and I had a lock from another truck so I used it. You can buy a new hole key set from Denise Carpenter or LMC for pretty cheap. But I never locked the doors so wasn't an issue to me.
3) on the driver side front panel (between the hood and the windshield) there is a good dent. It was if the hood flew up or something fell on it. I never bothered to deal with this due to the fact it just gave it character.
4) the exterior rear window seal is cracked and missing about 1/2" but can be easily replaced....I just never got to it.
5) I threw a hub cap about a month ago and never new it so it's missing one :-(
This truck is super clean and ready to dive on a daily basis or as a weekend enjoyment.
Happy bidding!

Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end
Fri, 26 Jul 2013One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.
Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses
Wed, 25 Jul 2012
Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
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.
