My dad owned this classic truck in Alabama for about 30 years. It had a camper shell and carpet in the back when I was a kid. I remember a camping trip in the Smokey Mountains in it. He also effortlessly towed his race car to the drag strip with it. Smooth running 390 (automatic) with Ford electronic ignition (added from a later model). The engine was professionally rebuilt by my dad some years ago. The truck has always been well maintained. I drove it out here about a year ago and I no longer have room in my driveway for it. The following parts I replaced have less than 500 miles on them: water pump, brake booster and master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders. R front brake caliper and hose, front brake pads, alternator, regulator, brand new L front tire (rest of tires are good) Installed tri gauge cluster oil/volts/water, new battery/cables. All instruments on dash work. Everything works but the original radio. I put new door speakers and radio in it (no dash cutting). I plan on keeping the new radio unless buyer compells me otherwise. There are a few cracks in the dash pad, and no carpet (new carpet $145). Has siliding back glass. All rust is surface only. Dad removed auxillary fuel tank to make room for the dual exhaust so the hole in the side of the bed needs to be blocked off. Transmission leaks a little because it doesn't get driven regularly but shifts out perfectly when topped off. Windshield is cracked pretty bad and needs to be replaced. Trim items were replaced to prep for a paint job that never happened. All pieces are available.
Great old classic truck! Serious buyers only. Shipping NOT included

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
