This is a great find!   Built and sold in TX, this truck has been in the same family since 1972.    Everything seems to work on this truck (nothing is botched up) and the odometer reads 88k.   Speedo works, temp gauge, gas gauge, all of it! 

Spend a few hundred bucks making it legal and safe and run it the way it is!   Pictures do not do it justice.   This truck turns heads!   Chicks dig it.   

Rat rod her to your personal preference.  Air bag it!    Run race headers, side pipes...options are endless. 

....or you have a great solid start to a period correct restore.    This is your truck for that too.   

Personally I wouldn't touch that Patina for a long time!   You couldn't ask for a more attention grabbing bad ass truck.   It just looks angry and instantly makes you a tough guy (or girl).    Just going to the gas station I got a crowd of people around me!   My girlfriend said I look sexy in it.  I am very close to not selling this.  

The ORIGINAL 352 V8 was rebuilt with a hipo cam, head work, intake and 4 barrel.   Anyone who knows the FE motor knows what that adds up to....TORQUE MONSTER!   It was set up to run on modern gas, given a healthy cam (nice sounding lope), edelbrock intake and matching 4 barrel carb, ...and then the owner died.   Kind of adds to the trucks mystique I think. 

It has an estimated 5 hours of run time to keep things lubed up.    

I have flushed the gas tank, replaced gas lines, installed an inline fuel filter, a new mechanical fuel pump, and she fired up and runs on all eight like nobodys business.    At least one side of the exhaust is leaking bad at the manifold/exhaust donut, (old school 2' duals with cherry bombs hang in place), but it still sounds great.   I ran it softly to operating temp and flushed out the oil, ran a big magnet through the oil and  It was clean as could be.   Zero smoke, no funny noises, just a solid healthy ford v8 that needs a good tuning. The engine is clean, all gaskets, freeze plugs etc. were replaced and block was repainted blue.    

 If I were to keep it, this would be my path to get it on the road.    
-Two exhaust manifold gaskets (donut between pipe and manifold)   Heck, Id probably spring for a new flowmaster or magnaflow dual set up.   Looks like this exhaust has been with the truck a while....
-New Rubber
-Front shocks
-Drum brake rebuilds (it stops fine but its old and its fast!!!) dont be dumb.   Pads and springs are cheap.
-Set the timing and tune the carb. 
-I would probably update the cassette deck;) 
-Go through front end with a fine tooth comb (safety first)  Replace bushings/ball joints as necessary.   I didn't see anything that needs immediate attention.    

The interior is probably my favorite part!     
The factory seat isn't even worn out!   There is nothing like a Red bench in a black classic pickup!    The headliner and both interior door covers are in amazing shape with just a tinge of Patina... its like a work of art.  You can't help but fall in love with this thing. 

The F100 V8 with the spare tire in the flare side is super rare.   When was the last time you saw one pass you?   It even appears that the original 1967 spare poly tire is mounted.   The bolts have never been turned and it was under cover until now.  

As stated above there is a little decay under the rear fenders below the bed where wasps built large bulletproof nests that held moisture over the years.  This is a seperate bolt in peice!!!   No work at all!!    
There was a nest under the mat in the upper right hand side of passenger floor as well.   Super easy fix.  This is not a unibody vehicle but a heavy duty framed vehicle.  The floor repair is simple and not part of the structural integrity of the vehicle.   One of the doors has a couple of bondo skims (painted black) over small dents, nothing major.  Never in any accidents. 

You will see in the pictures that the owner did a nice job of welding plate steel in the bed over the factory wood planks.  Keep it like that (nice clean welding job), or cut it out and redo the the wood planks underneath for a really cool look. Cherry wood on that Patina with a red interior would look amazing!!!    A little extra weight back there doesn't hurt.  It has a claimed weight around 3000 but it feels a lot lighter then that....

Well that's it for now.     With an average retail of 10k-14k plus in unrestored condition you can bid with confidence that you can't lose money on this beauty.   

Real Mans Truck all the way.     Air conditioning- Rotate front triangular windows inward;)

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo

Tue, 14 Oct 2014

The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.

Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression

Tue, May 6 2014

It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
