 I have a 1961 Ford F100 Unibody project up for sale. If you are looking you probably already know these were made from 1961-1963. This isn't my first Slick F100 rodeo so let me try to tell you everything I can about it and you can ask questions from there.

The important things..
*IT DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE since in Maine anything over 25years old does not get one issued but I can request one from the state of Maine if your state requires it.
*It was created as an F100 (5lug) but the PO in Idaho changed it to an 8lug set up.
*It was on the road in 2006/7 in Idaho, bought off ebay by PO and shipped to Connecticut where it sat for almost 4 years,I bought it and had it shipped to Maine.
*The front clip is off and disassembled so you can see everything, fenders are pretty good, inner fenders are great, core support is new FOMOCO, and it has a tailgate!

Details:
*292 V8 (turns freely but does not fire)Oil pressure is up on gauge, dist turns and fan turns with the key, just no fire
*4sp manual
*rear end is a Chevy/Eaton HO52 8 lug with a bunch of springs
*front end is a solid axle 1955-1959 series 2 chevy (probably from the same as the rear 3/4 chevy)
*has rust on the floorboards, and on the inside cab wall where the wall/kick panel meets the cab mount (see pics)
*had rust at the roof line but I cut that out and welded in sheet metal before the winter came
*sweet chrome grill and chrome headlight buckets
*comes with new ford core support (see pics), new front sill, new inner fender
*comes with lots and lots of parts- 3 bins worth.
*I have already painted the following
     *hood latch support bars, hood latch, and catch
     *vent doors (air cables both work smooth)
     *heater box (heater core was check out by shop near me and repaired)
     *new shock towers (if you want to switch back to 5lug you will want these new ones
     *mirror, visors, hood springs, and battery tray
     *hood spears and emblems
     *boiled gas tank and painted

As you can see from the photos it is a project, you will want a new hood and a radiator. I can provide the old ones for measurement, but you will want new. The bed is in really good shape at the front where it meets the back of the cab. The torque boxes are in great shape, no holes in them and no holes at the side of the bed that I can find. It will need floor pans, and work on the tailgate. It will also need work on the roof line to make it right, I did it fast to get them covered for the winter as there were huge holes.

*Other goodies include a set of 1968 Mustang bucket seats and 2 new sets of seat tracks, all you need is the Ranger mounting brackets (available in the after market...I'll tell you where)

Please ask if you have questions, all shipping is to be done by the buyer but I can suggest one that I have used in the past

finally, there are 151 photos on another site where you put "photos in a bucket"

2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."

2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.
