This is a real F11 (4x4) VIN.
This truck came from Nevada and it was used by a gentleman in the forestry division. I had two copies of the sticker duplicated if you collect trucks used in this field. The window sticker shown in the pictures is the original, as is the warranty card, owners manual, etc. I have many receipts from the original owner and have a huge stack of recent restoration receipts.
Short version of body restoration. I replaced left front cab corner and attaching structural torque plate. Right cab mount was good but repaired small hole. Both rear cab extension on bottom of cab rebuilt. The floor pans had no holes but were pitted, both replaced. Bed was removed to paint the rear of the cab. Bed was sand blasted and rotisserie painted. The highest grade enamel paint was used and the metal was sealed before painting. There is nearly three gallons of paint on this truck. You could still cut and buff to a mirror finish if you wanted. All cancer was replaced with new metal, no fiberglass or bondo to fill in the holes.
This truck was original wintergreen and is now. The truck came with the mirrors that is on it, a heavier rear suspension as stated on the window sticker (this makes it set up higher in the rear than normal). It also has power brakes.
I drove the truck with old tires to the body shop which is about 45 minutes away. This truck drives awesome at 70 to 80 mph on the interstate, there was no bumpy steering, no road walk, and with this suspension just a smooth solid ride. It does not bounce when you hit a bump, just rebounds correctly.
It has a full brake pedal and they work flawlessly. No pulling to the right or left, or suspension dip when applied. There are no annoying vibrations or rattles. Even the ashtray is still shiny on the inside, appears to have never had a cigarette in it. The factory radio works fine.
The motor has been upgraded from a 360 to a 390, the block is coded as 428. The motor has 185 psi static compression in each cylinder (within 5% tolerance). It has a new Edelbrock carburetor and new dual exhaust.
The tires are new Cooper Discover AT/3. The tires do not have even one mile on them. I took the wheels to have to have tires mounted and all the miles I put on the truck were on the tires that were on the truck when I bought it.
Most important: The doors, fenders, bed, grill, bumpers, all original. NOT AFTERMARKET!

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality
Wed, 01 May 2013The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.
