NO RESERVE! HIGHEST BID GETS THE TRUCK!

This is a factory 1979 F350 regular cab truck with a all steel flatbed. The truck retains it's factory drive train including the very desirable High Pinion Dana 60 front axle (this axle alone is worth $1000-1500). It has 410 gears with a locker in the rear. The truck has the factory manual 4 speed transmission and NP205 transfercase. It just passed Utah's state safety inspection a couple of weeks ago and is current on it's registration. Clear and clean title in hand with utah license plates and registration.

This drivetrain set up is very desirable. If you add lift springs to this truck you can run BIG tires reliably on the stock drivetrain without further modification.

The GOOD: Truck starts every time and can be driven anywhere. 4WD works great. Has engine block heater for cold weather. Tires and not new, but not needing replaced either. Set up for bumper or gooseneck towing. No visible rust showing. Dual fuel tanks are functional.

The BAD: Body has dents, dings and needs TLC. Interior is typical for a 1979 Ford - Dash cover is cracked from the sun, bench seat is saggy in the drivers position, speedometer works on and off, e-brake bracket needs to be reattached (but e-brake is otherwise functional), heater doesn't work, and carpet was replaced by some household shag carpet. Front tank could use a filler hose replacement. Brakes pull slightly to the left when applied. Transmission doesn't down shift into 3rd without priming it by trying to put it into 2nd (but it has been that way for a long long time). Drivers door shuts funny and could use a new hinge, but still latches and opens fine. The rear passenger mudflap flew off on the highway after I took the pictures. I am sure there is something I might be forgetting, but like I said - it just passed the Utah state safety inspection and is a registered driver.

THE BOTTOM LINE: If you are interested in this truck, you likely know that it is a rare truck with a very desirable drivetrain. It runs great, will go anywhere, and is ready to tackle any job you throw at it.

I wanted to keep this truck around because it is a great work truck, but I have to sell to fund another project I am working on. If you have questions feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Located in beautiful Moab, UT. Local pickup or buyer arranged shipping only. Cashier's check/money order/personal check if shipping or cash in person only. Buy must wait for personal checks to clear before the vehicle will be released.

Plan a trip for Easter Jeep Safari in Moab to pick this truck up!

Feel free to Call or Text me at (916) 220-3857. I don't respond to calls Friday night to Saturday night sundown.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
