I've owned this truck since 2007 and used it here around my shop. During this time I upgraded it extensively with the following:
Engine: Offenhauser Dual Port intake manifold - Edelbrock 1406 carburetor - K&N air filter and breather - Pertronix3 multi spark ignition - 8.5mm high performance plug wires
Transmission: replaced C4 with AOD 4 speed with 1250 stall converter and shift kit
Drive train: all U-joints new - 3.25 posi replaced against new 3.89 posi from Speedway Motors
Suspension and wheels: 17" Ansen Racing rims 8" front and 10" rear with new in 2013 NITTO high performance tires - front lowered 2"
Brakes: master, flex lines, calipers, wheel cylinders and rear drums new within 10.000 mls
Exhaust: Brand new Magnaflow dual exhaust
AC works fine. I installed Mustang seats and the drivers seat is power. I added a tachometer. The car has its original radio which plays only loud. The fuel and temperatur gauge are currently not working. Currently it has a camper topper installed because of my dog traveling with me. The truck has a rear sliding window.
I drove this truck for about 25.000 mls and it never let me down. The engine runs strong and revs 1800rpm at 60mph so it is good on gas and you can go 90mph all day long if you live in Texas. Drove it to Big Bend 3 years ago, carrying my 4wheeler in the bed.
Why do I sell? I got really busy in my business and can not give it the attention it deserves. The paint begins fading and the clear burned off in sections. The gravel roads around here has left their marks on the fenders and to prevent further damage, it needs tlc.
Don't get me wrong: There is nothing wrong with this truck. In fact, it rides better than most and it is tight and almost rattle free. (except when you have the windows half down.) It is a very clean ride.

Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.
Bill Ford op-ed argues we can't just build and sell more of the same cars
Thu, 10 Jul 2014It's hardly a secret that the auto industry is undergoing an enormous, tectonic shift in the way it thinks, builds cars and does business. Between alternative forms of energy, a renewed focus on low curb weights and aerodynamic bodies, the advent of driverless and autonomous cars and the need to reduce the our impact on the environment, it's very likely that the car that's built 10 years down the line will be scarcely recognizable when parked next to the car from 10 years ago.
Few people are as able to explain the industry's many upcoming changes and challenges as clearly as William Clay Ford, Jr., better known as Bill Ford. The 57-year-old currently sits as the executive chairman of the company his great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded over 110 years ago.
In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Ford explains that the role of automakers is, necessarily, going to change to suit the needs of the future world. That means changing the view of not just the automobile, but the automaker. As Ford explains it, automakers will "move from being just car and truck manufacturers to become personal-mobility companies."
2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.
