OK, THEN, I'M GOING TO GO THRU THE TIME & EFFORT TO COMPLETELY EXPLAIN IN GREAT DETAIL BY WORDS & PICS ABOUT THIS TRUCK'S CONDITION & ORIGIN SO THAT YOU FULLY & COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WILL BE BIDDING ON. SO THIS IS WHAT I ASK IN RETURN--ANY & ALL TRADES ARE NOT WELCOME, ONLY TRADE WELCOME IS YOUR MONEY FOR MY TRUCK. IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE MONEY, DO NOT BID! YOU MUST HAVE PAYPAL FOR THE $2000 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT.AS FOR SCAMMERS, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY BUT I DON'T NEED THE BS, I'VE HEARD IT ALL. NOW THAT WE'RE THRU THIS. THIS IS A 1979 F150 SHORT BED, ORIGINALLY A FLEETSIDE, WHICH NOW HAS A 1994 STEPSIDE BED IN EXCELLENT COND. ENGINE IS 351M WITH A 4 SPD TRANS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM THE ORIG. FAMILY OWNER WHO HAS GIVEN ME THE CLEAR TITLE IN SPRINGFIELD, MA WHERE IT WAS SITTING IN A DELAPITATED GARAGE FOR NO LESS THAN 20 YRS. BY NO MEANS WAS THIS A "BARN FIND." THE ONLY THING THE TRUCK HAD GOING FOR IT AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE WAS VERY LOW MILEAGE & A SOLID UNDERCARRIAGE. AS FOR THE SHEET METAL, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED--SO IT IS ESSENTIALLY A FRAME-OFF RESTORATION. FOR STARTERS, I INSTALLED A '79 F350 CAB FROM A U-HAUL TRUCK. FYI--U-HAUL WAS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT FORD ESPECIALLY APPLIED SOME VERY SPECIAL RUST INHIBITOR IN EVERY CORNER & CREVICE OF THIS CAB, SO ALL THE COMMON ROT SPOTS ARE NON-EXISTENT. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION--ROOF LINE, DRIP EDGES, LOWER COWL AREA, FRONT BODY MOUNTS & REAR BODY MOUNTS& ROCKER PANELS & CAB CORNERS. HOWEVER, I MYSELF HAVE REPLACED CAB CORNERS & REAR BODY MOUNTS (I'M A PROFESSIONAL WELDER).AS FOR OTHER BODY PANELS, SOME WERE NEW & SOME WERE USED. I INSTALLED A FIBERGLASS LIGHTED LUND VISOR WHICH I HAVEN'T WIRED TO THE SWITCH. ALL USED PANELS WERE IN GREAT COND. HOOD--USED. FENDERS--NEW. CHROME GRILLE & HEADLIGHT BUCKETS--NEW. ALUMINUM GRILLE SHELL--USED. FRONT BUMPER--NEW, BACK BUMPER--NEW, DOORS--USED, SEAT NEWLY UPHOLSTERED, CARPET--NEW, BLACK DASH PAD--USED, HEADLINER--USED. REPLACED MECHANICALS--NEW RADIATOR, NEW CARB, NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKES ARE 80%, TIRES ARE 50% ON 16" ALUM MAGS. AS FOR THE BLACK PAINT JOB, THIS IS FRESHLY NEW & NOT FROM MAACO. ALSO WHEN THIS WAS STRIPPED DOWN TO JUST THE CHASSIS, I COMPLETELY STEAM CLEANED EVERY SPOT ON THIS CHASSIS, HOWEVER, BLOWING OFF ANY & ALL LOOSE FACTORY UNDERCOATING SO A LOT OF THE CHASSIS HAS A PERFECTLY NORMAL VERY FINE RUST AS IT SHOULD. I REFUSE TO JUST COVER IT OVER FOR A MUCH BETTER LOOK. IT'S MUCH BETTER BEING LEFT ALONE OR TREAT THE FRAME FIRST& THEN UNDERCOAT--YOUR CHOICE. THIS TRUCK RUNS, DRIVES, HANDLES, SOUNDS OUTSTANDING. NOT A SQUEAK, NOT A RATTLE, VERY STRONG & POWERFUL RUNNING TRUCK. IT HAS POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES BUT NEVER EVEN HAD A RADIO INSTALLED. THE WIRING HARNESS IS COMPLETELY UNMOLESTED. EVERY SINGLE THING WORKS AS IT SHOULD.

Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
