This truck was planned to be used for a project that I never had the time to finish.
Being sold just as you see in the pics. The truck used to have a rack/stake body that could
be tilted as a dump truck but that has been removed, The hydraulic lift is still operational.
GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS TRUCK:
-mileage only 59,284 actual miles
- Ford gas big block 460 Fuel Injected engine
- Wheelbase is 161"
- 5 speed heavy duty transmission is a ZF542 with a good clutch
- 10 lug wheels with all 6 tires having very good tread left
- Dana 80 Dually rear axle with overload springs
- Solid beam type front axle with heavy duty leaf springs
- Muncie PTO-Power take off with controls inside cab still fully operational-rear dump still works fine
- pretty good body panels and trim with minimal rust
-sliding rear glass window
-Heavy duty front suspension
NOT SO GOOD THINGS:
- driver's seat has a wear and impression spot the size of the prior owners butt. Could use a better seat.
- Surface rust on rear portion of the frame but the metal is so thick there is nothing serious.
-right side door glass sticks on track , may need a new track. I have the parts and will include in the sale
BAD THINGS:
- One of the rear brake lines rotted and leaking but a very easy fix with no bed on the frame
- No tail lamps, the old ones junked with the rack body. wiring is intact and I could
wire in some lamps if that's a deal breaker for anyone
- one of the dual fuel tanks may leak fuel, probably the steel forward one but not sure
In 1992 this version became known as the F-450 Super Duty and the GVW is rated at close to 15,000 pounds
this would be an ideal truck to turn into a small flatbed, dump truck, Wrecker tow truck, landscape truck or even a trailer tow rig

Ford to reveal Vignale sub-brand with special Mondeo in Frankfurt
Tue, 03 Sep 2013Ford says that 10-15 percent of its customers in Europe want their cars to be set apart from regular Fords - even those wearing the top Titanium X trim - and the Blue Oval will answer them with the Vignale sub-brand. The new brand proposes a more upscale look and a much-improved dealership experience, Autocar reports. The Vignale Mondeo will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show to kick off the new endeavor.
The first Ford to receive the Vignale treatment will be the 2015 Mondeo, a Euro-only model, followed by the new S-Max and Edge. The Vignale Mondeo is set apart visually from other Mondeos by a chrome grille and chrome door handles and mirror caps. Mondeo badging will be deleted - only Vignale badging will make an appearance.
The interior will get a more upscale flavor, as well, with quilted leather seats and door trim and leather covering the instrument panel, center console and steering wheel. A Vignale-badged storage drawer will be installed in the trunk, and in-car Wi-Fi is available.
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
