Ok, so I am relisting my truck with a very low reserve. It needs to go to a good home and to someone who will drive it. I can give you a hint..reserve is between $3750 and $3850. The truck is worth much more in my eyes but I know what she can do and what I've done to her. But she needs to find a home. So here is what you are looking at =
This is a 1969 F100 long bed (8ft) "Custom Cab". The truck has a 360 engine but I was told that it was bored to the 390. I never went into her to find out if that was a fact or not but I can tell you she has more power than you will ever need. I bought this truck from a farmer in Georgia, which it still has the Decatur. Ga dealer metal plate on it, and made it my loving project for 5yrs. The engine runs super strong and has even compression. Living in Charleston parking can be a problem so I did convert her to power steering. I wanted to keep the "3 on the tree" configuration so I modified the steering shaft. The power steering box came out of a 1972. I left the breaks original but I did have my mechanic run all new lines and we dropped in a new master cylinder. We also wanted to put in a new edelbrock carb so we went ahead and did that. All the body work was done by me. I took the entire exterior body apart and sanded her down and primed and painted her. The bed was in such good shape, all I did was rolled on a bed liner. All the steel is good, the bed isn't even warped on bit. All the trim and the grill is original or bought through Denise Carpenter (the only company that carried certified Ford parts). The interior is super clean. The seat is original and I was planning on having it re-covered, but I never got to it (hence the saddle cover). The dash is new ( I replaced it). and the all gauges are in working order.
the cons on this truck:
1) the passenger window needs some love on the track. she sticks at times.
2) the key that starts the truck is the key that unlocks the passenger door only. I had to do work on the lock system and I had a lock from another truck so I used it. You can buy a new hole key set from Denise Carpenter or LMC for pretty cheap. But I never locked the doors so wasn't an issue to me.
3) on the driver side front panel (between the hood and the windshield) there is a good dent. It was if the hood flew up or something fell on it. I never bothered to deal with this due to the fact it just gave it character.
4) the exterior rear window seal is cracked and missing about 1/2" but can be easily replaced....I just never got to it.
5) I threw a hub cap about a month ago and never new it so it's missing one :-(
This truck is super clean and ready to dive on a daily basis or as a weekend enjoyment.
Happy bidding!

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
