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?

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
