Ford F100 Shortbed on 2040-cars
Rock Hill, South Carolina, United States
|
A one of a kind '70 Ford F100 2wd shortbed. This truck runs great. I hate to sell, but I have too many projects. The body is in good condition with no major rust issues. The shortbed is relatively rare and desireable (over the longbed). I drive this truck almost daily with no issues. I put a new gas tank in it a couple years ago and change the oil regularly. This would be a great truck to restore or just drive it as is. It has a great running 351W with a manual 3spd transmission. Tires are 60% or better. I've owned it for 6 years and it's a fun truck that gets lots of looks! Keep in mind, this is a 43 year old truck. It is not perfect, however, this is a very driveable truck and great base for a restoration or just enjoy it the way it is. The bed is solid with one area at the very front right corner of the bed where it has rusted through (this is included in the pictures--see the middle of the pic for the bad spot),but the bed is structurally sound. I do have a bedliner which is also pictured. Usually I keep the bedliner on the truck, but took it off for the pictures. There is zero to no rust along the bottom edge of the doors (shown in pics). The passenger side floor pan should probably be replaced or patched at some point, but I've seen worse (also pictured). The odometer reads about 55K but this is probably not accurate. The motor is a 351W which is not original to the truck. It is a rebuild which was put in at some point by the previous owner. I have no idea how many miles are on it, but it runs ver well and starts every time. I started replacing body parts (which explains the "custom" paint job) with the intention of doing a restore. However, I stumbled across something else along the way. So, some other lucky person will get to finish this project. On Jan-10-14 at 20:26:22 PST, seller added the following information: **One item of note--Clearly I've replaced some parts. When I replaced the doors, I forgot to pull the data plate off of the old door, so the VIN on the current data plate does not match the VIN on the frame. The VIN on the frame does match the VIN on the title. This is why car makers stamp VINs on frames--thankfully... Not a huge issue, but I wanted to be upfront about this. |

After Years Of Delays, Rear Visibility Requirements Move Closer To Reality
Fri, Jan 3 2014Regulations that would require automakers to improve rear-view visibility on all new cars and light trucks are nearing completion after six years of delays. The U.S. Department of Transportation sent its proposed rear-visibility rules to the Obama administration for review on Christmas Day. The White House Office of Management and Budget now must finalize the regulations. The rule are intended to minimize the risk of pedestrian deaths from vehicles in reverse, a type of accident that disproportionately affects children. Already in 2014, two children have died from cars backing over them, driven in each case by the children's father. Specifics of the Transportation Department's proposal are not available during the review, but the rules are expected to compel automakers to install rear-view cameras as mandatory equipment on all new vehicles. That's what safety advocates have wanted all along. Thought they were pleased the proposed ruling had finally been issued, there was some worry Friday the final rules would omit the rear-view camera mandate. "We're encouraged, but we're also a little concerned about speculation the rear-view camera may not be in there," said Janette Fennell, the president and founder of Kids and Cars, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting children in and around vehicles. "I'm wondering where that might be coming from." On Thursday, The Automotive News had reported the possibility the new standards could offer an alternative to rear-view cameras, such as redesigned mirrors, that improved visibility. The Office of Management and Budget typically completes its reviews of new rules in 90 days, although that can be extended. OMB officials said Friday they do not comment on pending rules. The intent of the rules is to enhance rear visibility for drivers and prevent pedestrian deaths. Approximately 200 pedestrians are backed over in the United States each year, according to estimates from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Accidents Mostly Affect Children Roughly half the victims are children younger than age five. A government analysis concluded approximately half the victims -– 95 to 112 -– could be saved with new regulations. Yet the rules have arrived at a glacial pace. President George W. Bush signed legislation that had been passed with bipartisan Congressional support in 2008. But automakers have fought the idea of adding rear-view cameras, saying it is too expensive.
NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
