This is a real F11 (4x4) VIN.
This truck came from Nevada and it was used by a gentleman in the forestry division. I had two copies of the sticker duplicated if you collect trucks used in this field. The window sticker shown in the pictures is the original, as is the warranty card, owners manual, etc. I have many receipts from the original owner and have a huge stack of recent restoration receipts.
Short version of body restoration. I replaced left front cab corner and attaching structural torque plate. Right cab mount was good but repaired small hole. Both rear cab extension on bottom of cab rebuilt. The floor pans had no holes but were pitted, both replaced. Bed was removed to paint the rear of the cab. Bed was sand blasted and rotisserie painted. The highest grade enamel paint was used and the metal was sealed before painting. There is nearly three gallons of paint on this truck. You could still cut and buff to a mirror finish if you wanted. All cancer was replaced with new metal, no fiberglass or bondo to fill in the holes.
This truck was original wintergreen and is now. The truck came with the mirrors that is on it, a heavier rear suspension as stated on the window sticker (this makes it set up higher in the rear than normal). It also has power brakes.
I drove the truck with old tires to the body shop which is about 45 minutes away. This truck drives awesome at 70 to 80 mph on the interstate, there was no bumpy steering, no road walk, and with this suspension just a smooth solid ride. It does not bounce when you hit a bump, just rebounds correctly.
It has a full brake pedal and they work flawlessly. No pulling to the right or left, or suspension dip when applied. There are no annoying vibrations or rattles. Even the ashtray is still shiny on the inside, appears to have never had a cigarette in it. The factory radio works fine.
The motor has been upgraded from a 360 to a 390, the block is coded as 428. The motor has 185 psi static compression in each cylinder (within 5% tolerance). It has a new Edelbrock carburetor and new dual exhaust.
The tires are new Cooper Discover AT/3. The tires do not have even one mile on them. I took the wheels to have to have tires mounted and all the miles I put on the truck were on the tires that were on the truck when I bought it.
Most important: The doors, fenders, bed, grill, bumpers, all original. NOT AFTERMARKET!

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant
Tue, Jan 6 2015President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
