1956 Ford F350
I bought this truck in Idaho from the original owner in 1992 with 40,000 miles on it. This truck has lived every day of it's life under cover, is and always has been rust free. I drove it approximately 30,000 miles for fun and chores before moving from Idaho to Maryland in 1999 where I stored it inside and have put less than 1500 miles on it since. In 20004 I decided to spruce it up as a project with my Dad and brought it up to the level of finish you see now. This truck came originally with a 223 in-line six cylinder, four speed tranny and a 5.14:1 rear. My object was to make it a pretty truck with a little snort under the hood and comfortable at cruising speeds that the the 5.14 rear really didn't allow. Well we never quite finished it but it is a great driver.

All the following work was done in 2004-05 and the truck has been driven approximately 500 miles since.

I replaced the motor, transmission and rear end with the whole drive train out of a 1979 F350.
400ci small block fully rebuilt (I believe bored .030 over) with RV cam
Four speed manual w/granny. Has PTO for future dump body.
New clutch, radiator, heater core
Entire 1979 9" rear with 4.11 gears and 16" 8 lug wheels. 
Original front end w/ 17.5" 6 lug wheels ( I still have the original 17.5's for the back painted red)

New dual exhaust system
New dash / gauges (have original)
New fuel tank (behind seat)
New hood hinges (hood needs some alignment), badges, rear-view and side-view mirrors, visors, carpet kit (uninstalled), running board trim, dome light.
Very high quality paint work (no clear coat). Only body work was a dent in passenger fender and a small ding in the hood. There are now a couple chips (see photos) and a scratch in the drivers fender from my Dad's belt that CAN be buffed out. The interior dash and floorboards are all original, unmolested w/ original paint. Only the inside of the doors was painted. Frame was also painted.

Original FOMOCO windshield, back glass, butterfly vents and passenger window. Drivers window was cracked and I cracked the new one installing it.
Original wiring.
Original battery box and hold downs under passenger floor in great shape

I started to insulate the cab prior to headliner and have enough i think to finish.
Needs a new flatbed built and I was planning to remove or detemper a few leaf springs after the bed was installed (very stiff!)
Original key and owners manual
All lights, blinkers, horn, wipers, heater, fans, etc work properly.

Work done in last two months:
Full service and tune up
New heater core 
Coolant flush
New battery

I know I'm forgetting a few things and am happy to answer questions. I may not remember every detail because most of the work was done almost ten years ago and the truck has been in my shop virtually unused since. I start it up and drive it around the block every once in a while, less than 500 miles in ten years. Work, life and other projects always seem to take precedence. I do know that you will not find a more solid, low mileage, never abused one ton dually. Great toy or toy hauler. 

I would prefer all interested buyers to come see the truck. If the truck is not as represented bid can be withdrawn and no negative feedback will be left. Cash at pickup is the only payment method excepted.

Weekly Recap: Audi pulls back the curtain on its future

Sat, Aug 22 2015

The E-Tron Quattro concept is the future of Audi. It embodies all of the traits that will make the brand – and electric-powered luxury vehicles – more relevant into the 2020s. Here's why: The E-Tron Quattro concept, which will debut next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show, is a large sport utility vehicle that promises a range of 311 miles. It's an all-electric daily driver that fits the needs of most Americans. In production – which Audi says starts in 2018 – this vehicle will seat five and likely be called the Q6. You can take your family from Boston to Philadelphia without recharging. That's mainstream. We're moving away from the industry's "science experiment" era (as General Motors product chief Mark Reuss once described the appearance of the first gen-Chevy Volt) to a period where electric vehicles are plausible and practical for many US buyers. The 2018 Q6's only holdup for the masses will be price. But if you can afford an Audi SUV, you'll be able to buy an all-electric version. The E-Tron concept uses Volkswagen Group's second-generation modular longitudinal platform. The lithium-ion battery is located between the axles and below the cabin. Urquhart says the production model will feature the automaker's latest battery technology developed with LG Chem and Samsung. IHS Automotive projects the Q6 will sell more than 40,000 units annually by the end of the decade. "The E-Tron Quattro is a precursor for what will be an exciting and landmark production model for Audi and will position the brand at the forefront of the premium EV market," IHS analyst Tim Urquhart wrote in a commentary. It's the Tesla-zation of America. It's the Tesla-zation of America. The Q6 will be a Model X fighter, and expect other automakers to follow suit, particularly in the luxury sector with SUVs and other large vehicles. They offer more space for the battery packs, and development costs can be recovered easier. "Premium brands have an inbuilt advantage in terms of introducing [electric] powertrains over more mainstream automotive brands," Urquhart wrote. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Analyst says Tesla stock could be worth $465 a share Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas sent shockwaves through the industry when he said Tesla stock has the potential to reach a whopping $465 a share. That's a leap from its $230.77 price at Friday's market close.

Detroit Three's lucrative pickup war intensifies as Ram makes big gains

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — The battle for profits from sales of large pickup trucks is intensifying among the Detroit Three automakers as sales of small cars in the United States shrivel. For decades Ford has had the single best-selling truck brand in its F-Series trucks. General Motors' Chevrolet brand was a solid No. 2, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram was a distant third. Now, that hierarchy may be in flux. Sales figures for December and the fourth quarter released on Thursday show Ram tied with GM's Chevy for the No. 2 spot, as sales of the redesigned Ram pickup surged, fueled in part by demand for an optional 12-inch (30.48 cm) dashboard screen. Chevy not long ago held second place to Ford by a wide margin. GM executives said on Thursday they are bullish on their new GMC and Chevy trucks for 2019.Related: How the Detroit Three's pickups compare on paper 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie review 2019 Chevy Silverado 2.7L four-cylinder review 2019 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost review "There's no doubt this segment (pickup trucks) is one of the epicenters of the auto wars," said Sandor Piszar, director of marketing for Chevrolet at GM. "It's been that way forever, and we wouldn't have it any other way." On Wall Street, investors give electric car leader Tesla a higher valuation than any of the Detroit automakers. But in the nation's heartland, big pickups remain far more popular and profitable than any electric car — and most other consumer vehicles of any kind. Large pickups generate at least $17,000 a vehicle in pretax profit for GM, the company has indicated in disclosures to investors. By contrast, many Detroit Three sedans are so unprofitable, their manufacturers have decided not to build them anymore. 'Hotly contested' Sustaining sales and pricing in the large-pickup segment will be critical in a year when most forecasters expect overall U.S. car and light truck sales to fall. Ford's U.S. sales chief, Mark LaNeve, on Thursday called the F Series "the backbone of our franchise" during a conference call, and added the "segment will continue to be strong, but hotly contested" in 2019. Automakers are banking on pickup truck sales to stay strong even if U.S. interest rates continue to rise. Rising interest rates translate into higher monthly car payments and are expected to deter some buyers in 2019. GM has said 27 percent of Chevrolet and GMC trucks — which can haul trailers by day and substitute for a luxury sedan by night — sell for more than $55,000.

Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
