This truck was planned to be used for a project that I never had the time to finish.
Being sold just as you see in the pics. The truck used to have a rack/stake body that could
be tilted as a dump truck but that has been removed, The hydraulic lift is still operational.
GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS TRUCK:
-mileage only 59,284 actual miles
- Ford gas big block 460 Fuel Injected engine
- Wheelbase is 161"
- 5 speed heavy duty transmission is a ZF542 with a good clutch
- 10 lug wheels with all 6 tires having very good tread left
- Dana 80 Dually rear axle with overload springs
- Solid beam type front axle with heavy duty leaf springs
- Muncie PTO-Power take off with controls inside cab still fully operational-rear dump still works fine
- pretty good body panels and trim with minimal rust
-sliding rear glass window
-Heavy duty front suspension
NOT SO GOOD THINGS:
- driver's seat has a wear and impression spot the size of the prior owners butt. Could use a better seat.
- Surface rust on rear portion of the frame but the metal is so thick there is nothing serious.
-right side door glass sticks on track , may need a new track. I have the parts and will include in the sale
BAD THINGS:
- One of the rear brake lines rotted and leaking but a very easy fix with no bed on the frame
- No tail lamps, the old ones junked with the rack body. wiring is intact and I could
wire in some lamps if that's a deal breaker for anyone
- one of the dual fuel tanks may leak fuel, probably the steel forward one but not sure
In 1992 this version became known as the F-450 Super Duty and the GVW is rated at close to 15,000 pounds
this would be an ideal truck to turn into a small flatbed, dump truck, Wrecker tow truck, landscape truck or even a trailer tow rig

Ford Escort Concept goes back to basics
Fri, 19 Apr 2013Here's the thing about China: The folks buying cars there have a very different set of standards than shoppers in many other markets around the globe. While we all drool over hot metal with bold designs, and while we appreciate automakers going an extra step to inject even their cheapest offerings with aggressive and interesting cues, that sort of sheetmetal sex appeal doesn't always sell in the People's Republic. Case in point is Jaguar, which may be designing a more traditional-looking version of its XJ for the Chinese market, or more to the point of this story, Ford currently sells the less-exciting, last-generation Focus compact in China right alongside the new one.
So consider this new Shanghai-bound C-segment concept a preview of what's to come for that more traditional, budget-minded, less-sexy market. More proof of this pudding: Ford's even calling this concept the Escort - a nod to the Blue Oval's compact car days of yore, and a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design. "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious," Ford states. And this new Escort concept previews a possibility of providing exactly that for this rapidly expanding automotive market.
What you're looking at, then, is one of the most simple Ford designs we've seen of late, though it still incorporates all of the automaker's latest DNA. The signature hexagonal grille is front and center, flanked by attractive LED headlamps and chrome-rimmed foglamp housings. The entire car's design focuses on clean, smooth surfaces, with one strong character line flowing from front to back just below the beltline. We will say that the car looks decidedly more premium from the rear view, where narrow, horizontal taillamps with an LED accent give the car added visual width. Bland as it may be, it's a handsome little concept, though fear what would likely happen if all of the conceptual details get dumbed down for a production model.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
