Super rare 72 Sport Custom Ford F100 shortbed, two tone, a/c, p/b, original CA truck.

I acquired this neat truck from the 2nd owner since 1976 (see original ca pink slip with date) on a ranch in central California. Test drove and , It ran great initially but was developing smoke from the left side. it turned out to be condensation, not smoke, and was diagnosed as the head gasket failing on that side. It is driveable , however starting it too much isn't wise with water in the system. Beyond that, this is a great truck. Brakes, trans, lights, heater, steering, etc... all seemed to be in good functioning condition. Truck is mostly rust free, and very solid. Main rust is surface area (mainly on the underside) only and I have documented the whole thing in pictures. I don't think there are any rust through, or even weak areas other then a small amount of battery acid corrosion in the tray directly under the battery itself. Extremely straight with no detected body fill or replaced panels. Just a 'good 'ol boy' truck that lived a dry CA ranch life. Not perfect, but hard to come by in this unmolested condition. For what it's worth, owner stated to me that the motor had very few miles on rebuild, but was 10 years ago. With a newer looking Eldebrock Carburator and a few other exterior components, owners integrity, and the way it ran and drove, I believe this to be true, but no documents exist to support it.

This would make an excellent start to a 'Patina' custom on a very RARE truck or a great candidate for a full resto.

Great opportunity to the right buyer.

Original CA blue plates, and small ca 'pink' slip title included.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year

Fri, 11 Jan 2013

With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
