Beautiful 1965 Ford F-100 pick-up truck. Much work has been done and many new parts installed. Have receipts for all the work done and for all the parts purchased. This used to be a manual transmission truck but was converted to automatic. Rebuilt Ford truck transmission installed professionally with all the modifications needed. Very nice and expensive job. The previous owner painted the truck. Nice paint job still shines and looks good. New front and rear bumpers were installed. I installed new carpet and found the original solid floor pans. New seat cover and new foam also installed. NOS AM radio works but weak in volume for some reason. New dash bezel also installed with new glove box liner. Also a new original type head liner installed as well and sunvisors, mirror and new attaching pieces.
Original steel wheels were sandblasted and painted. Original hubcaps were put on and new tires with 10 miles on them were installed. New brakes and new shocks were installed. The bottom was all sanded down. Suspension parts were painted and the rest was undercoated.
The engine bay was sanded to bare metal and then primered and painted. All the parts on top of the engine were replaced such as spark plugs, wires, Pertronix electronic ignition, new carburator, new water pump, hoses, radiator, belts, battery tray, starter solenoid, battery tray. In addition the two engine wiring harnesses were replaced with brand new ones. The front to the rear wiring harness was also replaced with a new one.
The engine is a 353 2-bbl carb with manual choke. Starts right up and drives well. This is a very nice truck that has most of the work already done to it so it is in turn key and drive condition. The gauges all work but on occasion the speedometer needle sticks now and then. I have a new cable but have not put it in yet. A minor fix.
The truck is a long bed and a Ford C-6 transmission was installed. Truck also comes with a new custom fitted weather proof cover.

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
