1978 F150 Short Bed 4x4 Reg Cab on 2040-cars
Springfield, Illinois, United States
|
Up for sale is this 1978 F150 shortbed 4X4. It has Fords bulletproof 300 6cyl motor which starts and runs good (see oil pressure in pics) backed by a 4 speed trans. Power steering and brakes. Speedo shows 15xxx we are sure its at least 115xxx. The 4X4 with manual locking hubs works like it should. Nice looking truck that a previous owner told me was redone 10+ years ago. Here's what I can say about it now. There is a new(very recent) right front fender and front bumper on it. It must have had a little fender bender because there is no other damage apparent. However the new red paint on that fender makes the faded 10 year old paint look a little lame.There are some rust issues coming back in the bed and bottom of the doors. I took pics of the floor that had been redone and undercoated they look ok. New carpet new bumper new fender nice JVC radio and CD. NO a/c or power windows this is a mans truck. The power steering leaks but I put on a new P/S pump and bought an overhaul kit for the box but don't have time to install(it will come with the truck). I think this truck sat for a while before I got it, I've been driving it around and the brakes are spongy but do stop you. Here's your chance to buy one of Fords classic body style to use as a firewood getter, mud toy or restore a little at a time while driving. These short bed 4X4's are getting hard to find at a decent price. Please do NOT expect a new truck for this price. Being sold as where is. Can hold a while for pickup. I will work with shippers or you can come here and get it. I require a 200.00 nonrefundable deposit. The rest in cash or certified funds on delivery. I will take PayPal for the entire price if you would like. Clear title in hand. I would like to keep it but I bought the wife a Jeep and need the room.

Kawei K1 pickup blatantly copies Ford F-150
Thu, Apr 24 2014The Chinese auto industry used to be looked at as a joke full of products blatantly copied from foreign vehicles. However, companies like Qoros and others show that the country's automakers have taken big steps in terms of original design. It doesn't look like every automaker there is ready to put down the tracing paper yet, though. Case in point: The Kawei K1 pickup pictured above, which is an obvious rip-off of the Ford F-150. In fact, the company isn't even hiding it. Kawei deserves a little credit for its openness. In describing the new model, it says: "No matter the black net grille and the outline of the headlamp, even if the styles of fog lamp and engine cover, it looks the same as Ford Raptor." It also admits that spelling out the model name on the hood is inspired by Land Rover. It's available with either a 2.4-liter, gasoline-fueled four-cylinder producing 141 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque (elsewhere it also lists it as having 162 lb-ft) or a 3.2-liter six-cylinder diesel with 106 hp and 181 lb-ft. Regardless of engine, power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The trucks cost around 100,000 Yuan ($16,033). So at least the K1 is a reasonably priced knockoff. According to Car News China, the K1 is actually selling in small numbers. The company made 10,000 of them last year and even exported some to Africa and the Middle East. Kawei's factory is doubling in capacity this year to build even more. You can read more about the truck on the company's website in some very mangled English.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA
Tue, 04 Mar 2014Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.
