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 sued by Versata over alleged software trade secret theft

Thu, Jul 16 2015

Automakers are routinely subject to intellectual property and patent disputes, whether over design similarities or pieces of tech. Ford is now facing a lawsuit for alleged IP theft over a piece of software from a company called Versata, and the business wants $1 billion from the Blue Oval for the violation. With such huge amount of money at stake, the legal situation is already getting complicated. According to The Detroit Free Press, Versata's software is designed to help automakers improve product development by making sure all of a car's countless components work together. The company and Ford had a contract for the system for many years, and they were negotiating an extension at the end of 2014. However, the deal fell through, and the Blue Oval ended the two business' arrangement. Making the legal situation especially tricky is that Ford developed and patented its own software for the same task. The automaker then filed a lawsuit in Michigan to have the court check whether the program violated Versata's IP, according to The Detroit Free Press. Later, the software company registered a lawsuit in Texas and alleged the Blue Oval stole proprietary code. Versata has asked for an injunction against Ford and restitution. "Ford's patented software does not use or infringe any Versata intellectual property and Versata has provided no basis for their claims against us," the automaker said in a statement to Autoblog. "We are confident that we will ultimately prevail in this case and we look forward to the opportunity to present our evidence at trial." With both sides in dispute, that leaves Ford pushing for a hearing in Michigan and Versata for Texas. According to The Detroit Free Press, it could be at least a year before a trial, if not longer. Of course in the meantime, the two sides could conceivably reach a settlement, and the whole issue would disappear.

SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.

2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
