For sale here we have a really nice example of what Detroit used to be capable of before it imploded. This truck has been well used, but well cared for in the last 4 decades, and should provide someone with another 40 years of work and play.  I bought this truck in Northern Ohio 6 years ago from a man who said it came from North Dakota.  He had planned to do a frame-off restoration on it.  It would still be a good candidate for this, but I have used it as a work & play truck.  I had the interior redone in El Paso, TX in 2009.  The engine was rebuilt from the crank up, as well as the transmission, in Hilliard, OH.  A high-volume oil pump, new starter, electronic ignition, stainless headers, and a dual FLowMaster exhaust were added at this time.  The original two-barrel carb was rebuilt as well.  I can provide receipts for all drivetrain work.  This truck also has a Reese hitch, as well as a 7-pin connector for a trailer with electric brakes.  There is an adjustable controller to dial in how much current is applied to the trailer brakes, and how aggressively they are applied.  Between the rebuilt 360, automatic transmission, Reese hitch, and electric brakes this is a very good truck for towing.  I have a dual-axle enclosed Haulmark trailer (I believe it's 8' x 14') that I will sell to the winning bidder if he or she is interested.

There are a couple spots of through rust, the worst being the left cab corner and in the front of the right door jamb.  I would love to do a frame-off and keep this beauty as my baby, but since I need to start using a truck more heavily for work I'd rather beat on a newer truck and let someone else hold onto this one and keep it like it should be kept.

I will have this truck for sale locally and may pull the auction if it sells.  The truck is currently in Columbus, OH.  I can (and will) deliver it to the Lorain County Fairgrounds the weekend of September 21.  That being the case, the mileage may be a bit higher, but not more than a couple hundred miles.  If the winning bidder wants this truck delivered I will put my Harley in the back and drive it anywhere in the lower 48 for $1.00 per mile one-way (must be paid prior to delivery).  Please ask any questions prior to bidding; I work but I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion.

A $250 deposit is required via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction closing.  Remainder to be paid in cash upon receipt of truck.  Again, please ask any question prior to bidding.  Good luck, and remember, only the last bid counts!

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles

Fri, May 9 2014

Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape

Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:
