1970 Ford f100 Ranger

Engine---360 (original)

Transmission---3 speed on the column

Brakes---manual drum

Steering---manual

Complete body-off restoration. We bought this F100 from the original owner with no intentions of doing a restoration. We were just going to clean it up a little. After realizing how solid this truck was we decided to restore it. We removed the body and bed and had the inside and under-side of the bed media blasted. The inside floor of the bed was extremely solid with just some light pitting. The underside was just as nice. The lower sides in front of and behind the tires were perfect with only a couple of pin-holes that showed up after the blasting. The floor of the cab was solid with only a small spot on the drivers floor that had began to show signs of rust. I removed the spot and replaced it with a 6"x6" patch (didn't really need it but did it anyway). We had the entire truck sanded and repainted the original Boxwood Green. We painted the underside of the bed but left the cab underside original. You can still see some of the original paint on the bottom of the cab. The body panels had no dents (other than a couple of small dings) so no body filler needed to be used other than a light skim-coat to make sure everything was smooth. We wanted to use as many of the original parts as we could so we only replaced the body-side molding and the front hood lip molding. The front grill, window chrome, emblems and all the glass is original to the truck. The truck has the complete original interior (still has the original FoMoCo rubber mat) except for a dash cover. The seat has a few small splits in the stitching (as you can see in the pictures) but we did not replace it because you cannot find the original material. The AM radio still works. The cigarette lighter doesn't look like it has ever been used. We replaced all the window and door rubbers. We put 8" wheels with bands and dog dish caps to give the truck a little better look. We replaced all 4 shocks, both rear leaf springs and some bushings to help with the ride. The engine is original to the truck and runs and sounds great. I put a new head gasket and intake gasket on the engine and that was all I had to do to the engine.

This is a very solid and great running truck. This is not a $25000 restoration but if you are looking for a great truck that will turn heads and you will be proud to drive then this is the truck for you. I have tried to describe in detail as much as I can. I am sure I have left something out but I don't like to "over sell" something. Let the pictures tell you the rest.

Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity? Let us know what you think below in Comments.

Roush getting back into sport compact business with Focus ST mods [w/video]

Wed, 29 May 2013

Roush Performance offers a whole raft of parts for folks looking to tune their Ford Mustang and F-150 models, and now Focus owners can start getting in on the hotted-up action, too. Owners of the 2012-13 Focus and 2013 Focus ST can now get a Roush cold-air intake system, and ST owners can also opt for a high-performance cat-back exhaust.
Although all of these components are now available for order, the parts will ship sometime in July; no word yet on pricing. Down the road, Roush will also offer styling upgrades for the Focus as well as performance tuning upgrades such as engine controller, suspension, wheels and tires. Scroll down for a quick video of what the Focus ST exhaust sounds like, as well as a Roush press release.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
