1966 Ford F250 Camper Special / Custom Cab / Low Fast & Loud Shop Truck on 2040-cars
Colville, Washington, United States
|
1966 Ford F250 Camper Special Custom Cab customized shop truck. Original paint on this solid and straight old truck. Equipped with independent front suspension, power steering, power 12" disc breaks and a massive front sway bar thanks to a 1994 Chevrolet Cop Car. The rear end and 700r4 overdrive automatic transmission are also from this donor car. Motor is a good sound 1975 Cadillac 500 with rear sump pan from an Eldorado. This makes the truck drive, corner, handle and stop just like the Caprice Cop Car that donated the parts. The torque monster Cad motor coupled to 700r4 makes for lots of tire smoke and great cruising. Pretty good fuel mileage as well. I put this truck together about 4 years ago and have driven it over 15,000 trouble free miles. Never given me any trouble what so ever. Starts right up even when it was 15 degrees this past winter. Lots of new parts when built. New windshield and gasket, breaks all around. New radiator, hosed and heater hosed. Flushed the gas tank and new fuel lines and fuel pump. New dual exhaust system with glass packs and exit just in front of the rear wheels. New P235/60r15 on new torque thrust polished wheels on front. New P295/50R15 on torque thrust polishes wheels on rear. Front rims are 8" wide and rear are 9". Rear rubber is 10" wide at the thread. The Cad motor will still smoke the tires for 2 blocks if you want. Equipped with a line lock and a B&M torque converter lock up. All the glass is good and wing vents and windows roll up and down as they should. Doors and tail gate all close nice and fit good. All gauges work along with the dome light, horn, door locks and turn signals. Auxiliary fuel tanks in the box have been converted to lockable storage boxes and they work great when filled with ice for cold drinks. They have drain holes in the bottoms. This truck needs nothing. It's ready to go anywhere in the U.S. New seat, door panels, headliner and door pulls. Look at the floor rubber. It is original and still in great shape. I am sure that I am forgetting something's but that pretty much describes the truck. I would be glad to answer any question that you might have. Feel free to come drive this truck. I can be reached at 509-684-5723. If you need more pictures, just ask. I own a small rod shop here in Colville and have done 4 other similar trucks for local customers and have had no complaints. Just finished a 65 short box for my new shop truck so Rusty is for sale. Willing to work with the new owner as far as shipping goes. Short term storage is something we can talk about.

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Mon, 10 Feb 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri
Mon, Sep 19 2016Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
