This 1979 F350 Custom, dual rear wheel truck was owned since new by a friend. I am the second owner. The truck had 28,472 miles when I bought it in 2003 and now has 35,774 original miles. It has the heavy duty 300 straight six motor and the granny low T18 four speed, synchronized in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The truck is geared for power but will do 65-70 easily on the highway. The power steering works perfect, power brakes work perfect, and the truck tracks straight. I put heavy duty tires on the truck and the tires are in excellent shape.
I used the truck very lightly, hauling firewood for personal use and going to the lumber store occasionally. I recently had the muffler replaced and the shop said the exhaust manifold has some thin cracks and will eventually need to be replaced. The truck runs ok but the carb needs rebuilt I believe. I recently replaced wires and spark plugs.
The truck has some dents in the hood but mostly the roof, where a tree limb fell last summer. The local junk yard has hoods for around 75 bucks. It also has some dents in the drivers door and some dings here and there. The body is solid and not rusted because it was garaged most of its life (not the last few years). I liked the truck with the patina and never painted it, but it could use a paint job. I painted the front john deere green and just never got around to painting the rest of the truck. The original color is on the doors and cab which I believe is hunter green metallic.
The inside is in nice condition except the roof was pushed down some in the middle and needs to be straightened. The truck is fine as is. The dent does not get in the way of people sitting in the truck. Note I put three pictures right after limb fell, showing cab lights still sitting on top of roof after being smashed.
The truck has a working 8000 pound winch which works, but missing winch lead (have to use screwdriver to touch contacts) and new tool box under truck.
I hate to sell this old truck but I have too many vehicles.
The reserve is low.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue
Fri, 22 Feb 2013It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively.
