  After upgrading my maintainer service body to a larger chassis, i have up for sale a very nice F450 superduty chassis.  This truck is 99 percent rust free, and in excallant shape.  This truck has all orginal paint and no rust in the cab corners, under the doors, under the wheel wells, or in the typical ford places.  This truck has always spent its life inside a heated shop, finding one of these truck in this condtion is a rare find espically in northern Illinois!  I have over 75 pictures of this truck, if more are needed feel free to email at tryagn5@yahoo.com, or call at 630 677 1530.  The frame is in excallant shape, and does not have any rust holes or rotted areas typical of an older ford chassis.  Also the old bed was bolted to the chassis so there has been no welding to the frame of the chassis.  I have power washed the chassis, so its nice and clean and easily inspected.

  The truck is equiped with bucket seats and console. Cruise control and air condtioning, The truck runs and shifts well.  I have replaced the clutch, fuel pump, fan motor, oil cooler seals,  and fan cage.  I have put 25k miles on this truck and it has always ran well.  The engine is the 7.3 powerstroke equiped with the 5 speed.  The 1997 superduty were the best superduty for mileage, I could average 16mpg on the highway.  Also everthing works on the truck, interior, extreior lights, markers, ac, dome light, cruise, and heat.  The truck does not leak spots on the driveway.  This truck is ready to go another 200k!  This would be a perfect flatbed truck or another srv truck.  I wish i had a use for it as this truck is the cleanest superduty i have seen!  Also how often do 1997 trucks have just 144k? 

My reserve is set at 5k, as this is a steal for this truck, the truck can be test driven, or inspected.  Its currently parked in a heated shop in Montgomery Illinois and the inspector is more then welcome to test the truck to his specs.  Also the truck could be driven home if the buyer wants to install rear lights and mud flaps, Im more then willing to help the buyer install them to drive it home.  I will assist the buyer any way I can, also the truck is for sale locally so i can cancel the auction at anytime. Also the windshield is cracked at the bottom, still passes safety lane so I never changed it.  The truck is currently set up with a PTO, which will be removed prior to the sale. 

Any questions?

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test

Tue, Oct 25 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
