OK, THEN, I'M GOING TO GO THRU THE TIME & EFFORT TO COMPLETELY EXPLAIN IN GREAT DETAIL BY WORDS & PICS ABOUT THIS TRUCK'S CONDITION & ORIGIN SO THAT YOU FULLY & COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU WILL BE BIDDING ON. SO THIS IS WHAT I ASK IN RETURN--ANY & ALL TRADES ARE NOT WELCOME, ONLY TRADE WELCOME IS YOUR MONEY FOR MY TRUCK. IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE MONEY, DO NOT BID! YOU MUST HAVE PAYPAL FOR THE $2000 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT.AS FOR SCAMMERS, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY BUT I DON'T NEED THE BS, I'VE HEARD IT ALL. NOW THAT WE'RE THRU THIS. THIS IS A 1979 F150 SHORT BED, ORIGINALLY A FLEETSIDE, WHICH NOW HAS A 1994 STEPSIDE BED IN EXCELLENT COND. ENGINE IS 351M WITH A 4 SPD TRANS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM THE ORIG. FAMILY OWNER WHO HAS GIVEN ME THE CLEAR TITLE IN SPRINGFIELD, MA WHERE IT WAS SITTING IN A DELAPITATED GARAGE FOR NO LESS THAN 20 YRS. BY NO MEANS WAS THIS A "BARN FIND." THE ONLY THING THE TRUCK HAD GOING FOR IT AT THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE WAS VERY LOW MILEAGE & A SOLID UNDERCARRIAGE. AS FOR THE SHEET METAL, IT WAS PRETTY MUCH DESTROYED--SO IT IS ESSENTIALLY A FRAME-OFF RESTORATION. FOR STARTERS, I INSTALLED A '79 F350 CAB FROM A U-HAUL TRUCK. FYI--U-HAUL WAS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT FORD ESPECIALLY APPLIED SOME VERY SPECIAL RUST INHIBITOR IN EVERY CORNER & CREVICE OF THIS CAB, SO ALL THE COMMON ROT SPOTS ARE NON-EXISTENT. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION--ROOF LINE, DRIP EDGES, LOWER COWL AREA, FRONT BODY MOUNTS & REAR BODY MOUNTS& ROCKER PANELS & CAB CORNERS. HOWEVER, I MYSELF HAVE REPLACED CAB CORNERS & REAR BODY MOUNTS (I'M A PROFESSIONAL WELDER).AS FOR OTHER BODY PANELS, SOME WERE NEW & SOME WERE USED. I INSTALLED A FIBERGLASS LIGHTED LUND VISOR WHICH I HAVEN'T WIRED TO THE SWITCH. ALL USED PANELS WERE IN GREAT COND. HOOD--USED. FENDERS--NEW. CHROME GRILLE & HEADLIGHT BUCKETS--NEW. ALUMINUM GRILLE SHELL--USED. FRONT BUMPER--NEW, BACK BUMPER--NEW, DOORS--USED, SEAT NEWLY UPHOLSTERED, CARPET--NEW, BLACK DASH PAD--USED, HEADLINER--USED. REPLACED MECHANICALS--NEW RADIATOR, NEW CARB, NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKES ARE 80%, TIRES ARE 50% ON 16" ALUM MAGS. AS FOR THE BLACK PAINT JOB, THIS IS FRESHLY NEW & NOT FROM MAACO. ALSO WHEN THIS WAS STRIPPED DOWN TO JUST THE CHASSIS, I COMPLETELY STEAM CLEANED EVERY SPOT ON THIS CHASSIS, HOWEVER, BLOWING OFF ANY & ALL LOOSE FACTORY UNDERCOATING SO A LOT OF THE CHASSIS HAS A PERFECTLY NORMAL VERY FINE RUST AS IT SHOULD. I REFUSE TO JUST COVER IT OVER FOR A MUCH BETTER LOOK. IT'S MUCH BETTER BEING LEFT ALONE OR TREAT THE FRAME FIRST& THEN UNDERCOAT--YOUR CHOICE. THIS TRUCK RUNS, DRIVES, HANDLES, SOUNDS OUTSTANDING. NOT A SQUEAK, NOT A RATTLE, VERY STRONG & POWERFUL RUNNING TRUCK. IT HAS POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES BUT NEVER EVEN HAD A RADIO INSTALLED. THE WIRING HARNESS IS COMPLETELY UNMOLESTED. EVERY SINGLE THING WORKS AS IT SHOULD.

Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.
Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year
Thu, 25 Jul 2013It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.
