WAS GARAGE KEPT A LONG LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT BY ME FOR THE ENTIRE TIME EXCEPT FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS. BEFORE PLACING TRUCK OUTSIDE I PUT A FACTORY FORD CAMPER SHELL ON IT TO KEEP RAIN OUT. CAP WAS FROM A 73 AND HAS FORD DECAL INSIDE. NEVER DRIVEN IN WINTERS OR RAIN. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WITH 91XXX MILES. EVERYTHING ON THE TRUCK WORKS AS IT SHOULD, LIGHTS, GAUGES, RADIO, HORN, BACKUP LIGHTS, BLOWER MOTOR, WIPERS, EVEN THE TURN SIGNAL RETURN WORKS. TRUCK IS BONE STOCK ORIGINAL EXCEPT EXHAUST IS DUAL 2 1/2 INCH CUSTOM BENT ALUMINIZED. I WAS TOLD THE TRUCK WAS REPAINTED WHEN IT WAS ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD AND AN NOS FORD HOOD WAS INSTALLED AT THAT TIME. ALSO THE TRUCK CAME ORIGINALLY WITH THE WEST COAST TOW MIRRORS. THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM REMOVED THEM, HAD THE HOLES BONDOED OVER AND PUT THESE STUPID LITTLE EDGE MOUNT BICYCLE LOOKING MIRRORS.

ALL PROPER MATCHING ID TAGS ARE ON ENGINE, TRANS, REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND CARB. THIS TRUCK IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF A RUST FREE VINTAGE VEHICLE. I WOULD SAY 98% RUST FREE. I SEE ALOT OF GUYS USE THE TERM RUST FREE AND THERE TRUCK HAS NO HOLES ON THE COSMETIC SIDE BUT YET THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF BED AND UNDERCARRIAGE IS SCALEY FLAKEY RUST.

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant

Sat, 20 Jul 2013

Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
