For sale is an 1971 Ford F250 Ranger. I bought this truck a year ago in Maryland for a project truck. The motor had already been rebuilt about 5000 miles before I bought it. I have only driven it maybe at the most 1000 miles. Truck runs great. Needs the carborater adjusted. I'm not skilled in carbs lol. But it has a Holley carb and an elderbrock intake. It has the 360 5.9l motor. It also has the 4speed manual transmission. 1st is a granny gear. The synchronizer for 3rd gear is not great just wont down shift to third all the time.  It's 4wd works great. It doesn't have power steering or power breaks but breaks work great its drum all the way around. I did just resently paint it torch red. Love the color. It has all the trim on the truck $1600 dollars worth of crome. Truck looks great. I will add the project pics to so you can get an idea of the detail put into it. I do have the title in hand and it is switch to an Indiana title. I am getting rid of it cause I amin the process of buying a house and need the money.  But thanks for looking and happy bidding. Feel free to ask questions and if you want additional pics send me your email and I will send them soon as I can.

The restoration process;  I took it clear down to the frame and painted, painted motor and trans, the body restoration I replaced one lower door panel with metal and the cab corners with metal. The rest of the truck wasn't in to bad of shape so just used a fiberglass filler for the small stuff. The fiberglass unlike bondo if gets wet will never swell and deteriorate. So you can trust the stuff. This is the first truck I have done on my own so it's not perfect but I have be complimented on it a lot. I'm pretty proud if the way it turned out. There are still some mechanical thing that need done.  hooking the heater up. I did replace the radio with a new replica one from lmc truck. Lmc truck is where I bought most of the parts  thanks again for looking and happy bidding

Auto industry insider previews tell-all book, What Did Jesus Drive?

Tue, 11 Nov 2014



"It's about some of the biggest crises in history. It's about who did it right and who did it wrong." - Jason Vines
Jason Vines, the former head of public relations at Chrysler, Ford and Nissan, has seen a lot during his more than 30-year career, and now he's offering a behind-the-scenes look at the auto industry in his tell-all book What Did Jesus Drive? that went on sale this month.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
