To list work done on this truck since I have owned it:Engine changeover to 302 V8 I had ( not a big fan of the original 360). Clutch kit does not seem perfectly balanced, and thus may have caused rear main seal leakage. Clearance from oil pan to front axle is close, but probably remedied by reversing sump. Alternately, you could return to 360 or larger big block engine. New dual exhaust system to back end of truck. Four barrel carb on 302 needs rebuilding as floats sometimes stick.4 speed manual transmission is joined to a single speed transfer case (OEM) No leaks detected from either. From there, all universal joints have been replaced, including those on front axle, and seals have been replaced. I have noticed leakage of gear oil from rear axle since it has been parked, presumably the pinion seal, but it may be the back cover.Steering gear is in excellent condition, any worn steering components have been replaced. The truck steers straight and tight.Brakes are manual, not power, but they are in excellent shape. New brake shoes and wheel cylinders, new brake hose to front axle, new emergency brake cables, new master cylinder.Body-wise, the outside of the cab and box have been professionally redone, then primed and sealed. The cab dash has not been reworked, but the area around the rocker panels has (see pictures). The inside of the box has not been worked on and is dented, but is very sound and not heavily rusted. Fenders, doors and hood are in reasonably good condition. Tailgate is not much- what I had on hand. (Doors have had new seals and full anti-rattle kits installed- they are quiet). I put in fender liners of heavy gauge plastic to protect areas in wheel wells- something Ford should have done. Inner fenders and core support are adequate working condition but have some rust. The grille is from a 1967 F100.The frame is quite nice (Montana truck) with no scaly rust.Electrical for the most works fine, except horn and engine oil light, which seems to work in reverse (on when oil pressure is sensed). This truck should pass most state inspections as it is today.

Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
Ford Mustang GT Bi-Fuel CNG
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Highly intrigued, we recently visited a Southern California Gas Company office to check out several hybrid vehicles promising something new. Unlike more commonplace gasoline-electric hybrids, we were there to evaluate innovative gasoline-compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrids - yes, they run on unleaded gasoline and compressed natural gas. According to the experts on hand, this arrangement delivers extended range and reduced emissions while chipping in with lower operating costs than pure-gasoline vehicles. There are advantages over its gasoline-electric counterparts, as well.
The program is part of a three-way collaboration between The Carlab, a Southern California-based automotive consulting firm, Landi Renzo USA, a company specializing in alternative fuel solutions, and America's Natural Gas Alliance, a group that promotes CNG. Long story short, the team has engineered a way to allow a modified internal combustion vehicle to seamlessly switch between two fuels (gasoline and CNG) with no driver intervention. In theory, and if it works as well as promised, it's a win-win for the vehicle owner and the environment.
Parked at the Gas Company office were six different gasoline-CNG hybrid vehicles. To demonstrate the technology's versatility (just about any gasoline vehicle may be modified) Carlab brought a varied assortment of bodystyles, each from a different automaker. After taking a quick glance at the half-dozen in the parking lot, we made a beeline for the performance-oriented Ford Mustang GT - a 2012 model - with the six-speed manual gearbox.
Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort
Fri, 24 May 2013Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
