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.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.

Ford paying $750 million just to close plant in Belgium

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

According to a report from Reuters, Ford is shelling out $750 million in a severance deal that will see the automaker close its facility in Genk, Belgium. The automaker reached this deal with the 4,000 hourly workers employed at the plant last week, which means the company will pay out an average of $187,500 per worker.
Ford is still negotiating with the 300 salaried workers at the factory, which currently produces the Mondeo sedan. All told, Ford expects to lose around $2 billion in Europe thanks in no small part to the region's ongoing economic downturn, and two more plants are scheduled to be shut down in Europe this year. The company will log its $750 million payout under "special items" for this quarter.
As you may recall, Ford took a similar path in the US back in 2009 when the domestic market took a spill. Back then, the company shelled out around $50,000 per employee with at least one year of experience, plus either $25,000 toward a new car or an extra cash payment of $20,000. It would seem the cost of closing plants in Belgium is a much harder pill to swallow than in the States...
