Story as I know it:
Man I purchased the truck from last year told me that his brother bought it brand new in 1978. He drove it for 4 years until he went into the Navy for 20 years. He passed away in 2009 and his brother inherited the truck. According to the old man, it sat in the barn for those 20 years and has 47,xxx original miles on it. I don't think that's the case, more like 147,xxx or 247,xxx. Its in good shape, but I don't have a car fax for it so I don't know. I would like to give him credit, but people tell wild stories. 

The Goods:
New parts in the last 2 years:
Water Pump
Radiator
Head Gasket
Shaved head for perfection
New Ball Joints
New Shocks
New Battery
Front Brakes
Wheel Cylinders
Timing Chain
Not Lowered
ALL GLASS is perfect

The Bads:
Needs an alignment; it road walks quite a bit.
Exhaust leak
Malfunctioning choke; still starts and drives just fine, it just takes a few minutes to warm it up in the morning
Some rust in floor boards, not rusted through though. Also some rust on drivers front quarter panel.
Back of the bed on passenger side has the sheet metal pulled out from someone hooking their hitch under the bed and pulling it out.
The interior is a 6 or 7/10. Seat is ripped, dash has a crack, and floor mat is rough.
Needs heater core hoses refitted. It leaks once in a while.
Loose connection somewhere in dash lights, but they work if you wiggle them. Been that way since I bought it.

EVERY ISSUE IS LISTED HERE, and if you want more pictures I would be more than happy to email them to you.

All in all it is a good truck. It has been my daily driver for a year now. Clean Oregon title. Has an after market cd player mounted under the dash, the instrument bezel and original stereo is fully intact. Its no gem, but it runs and drives.Sitting on 18' Nissan Titan wheels that were cut and shaved to fit onto mini trucks. If the selling price goes above $1,500 they will be included. If lower than $1,500 only the stock wheels and hub caps will be included. Either way, you get the original steelies and hub caps.

Pay-pal or bank transfer only. That way everyone knows where there money is and its fully documented. Buyer assumes responsibility for transport picked up from my house.

ALSO there is some paint fading on the bed. I didn't want to leave that out.

Ford recalls 1.48 million F-150s for transmission, plus other models

Wed, Feb 13 2019

Weeks after recalling more than 800,000 F-Series pickup trucks for a fire risk, Ford has issued another separate recall for approximately 1.48 million 2011-2013 F-150s for a transmission fault. The six-speed automatics could unexpectedly downshift into first gear without warning. Ford and Lincoln tangentially issued much smaller recalls for the Mustang, Continental, Nautilus, and Navigator. According to Ford, some 2011-2013 model year F-150 pickups with six-speed automatic transmissions could "experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor signal to the powertrain control module." This could potentially cause the trucks to temporarily downshift, which could be dangerous if it occurs while driving. Of the 1.48 million affected trucks, 1.26 million are in the U.S. while 221,000 are in Canada. Thus far, Ford knows of five reported accidents involving the issue. To remedy the problem, owners can take their trucks to dealers to update the power control module software. Ford also issued recalls for about 4,350 2019 Mustangs, Lincoln Nautiluses, and Lincoln Navigators in the U.S. and Canada due to a possible fault with the instrument clusters. Although there have been no reports of accidents, Ford says the instrument panel clusters assemblies might be blank or not turn out when the vehicle is started. Additionally, Ford issued a third recall for 28,200 2017-2019 Lincoln Continentals in the U.S. and Canada. Ford says silicon contamination might build up inside the door latch motor, causing it to malfunction. As a result, the door latch might not always fully engage, and the doors could possibly open unexpectedly. Despite no reports of accidents, Ford will remove and replace door latch assemblies on all doors for those affected by the defect. If any of these apply to a vehicle you own, contact Ford to discuss whether it is included in any of these recalls and have the vehicle checked out at a Ford dealership.
