Ford F150 Custom LWB
The Truck Is a Two owner purchased by me several months ago from a Lady who's husband passed. The truck has sat for a few years with no attention when i found it and purchased. At the time of purchase I was told that the last time the truck had been driven the Radiator had burst and the truck towed to a repair shop where a new one was installed. It then sat for a while when one of the gentleman's kid went to use the truck and the carb starting leaking gas and it didn't move until I purchased it. I had the Carb rebuilt, new hoses and belt, plugs and wires, dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers, all new door and window trim so it's tight, new gas tank, fill and vent hose, sending unit. rims and tires, battery, glove box liner, radio and speakers, rear tail light assembly and bulbs along with all fluids changed. Everything on this truck works with the exception of the A/c and that is one thing I have yet to tackle. It has been repainted and the paint job is what it is and there is rust in the normal '73 places. I also have the factory steel wheels and dog dishes with whitewall tires, a tool box that was on when i purchased it along with the factory radio and a set of shackles for the rear that i have not installed that were purchased to level the truck. The truck runs and drives down the road at what ever speed you want to go, it's easy to drive and dependable in getting you there. The Rim/tire package was purchased from Discount Tire Direct at 1100.00 they only have about 400 miles on them the tires on the Steelies have tread but not sure how old they are. you will see current pictures of the truck and pictures of the truck when i purchased at the ladies home with the steelies and whitewalls along with the the toolbox. This truck would make a great First Project, first vehicle, great farm truck or something that would get you around if your a doomsday prepper that thinks todays electronics will be compromised. Email me with any questions.

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made
Tue, 06 Aug 2013We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.
Ford invests $682 million in Edge-producing Canadian facility
Sun, 22 Sep 2013Ford announced that it's investing $682 million in its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada, to make it a global manufacturing plant, which the automaker also says secures 2,800 jobs there. Including this injection of cash, Ford has invested over $2 billion in Canada in the last decade, starting with nearly $1 billion for Oakville in 2004, and over $570 million for its Essex Engine Plant in 2010.
The move to make Oakville a global manufacturer of Ford vehicles means, "If consumers suddenly shift their buying habits, we can seamlessly change our production mix without having to idle a plant," says Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas.
Ford says that the latest investment will help it meet North American demand for the Oakville-produced Edge crossover, which is on track this year to beat 2007's US sales record of 130,000 Edges. The Ford Flex and Lincoln MKX and MKT are also manufactured at the plant.
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
