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.

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
