This a hardy, yet in need of some TLC classic F-100 ford truck. "She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid." Unlike our hero, the modifications have been minimal and less evasive. It has 390 cubic inch V8, mostly untouched original engine. The headers and exhaust were replaced long ago. It has an upgraded Mallery distributor, MSD ignition box and Super coil. The transmission is a four speed manual with one heck of a stump pullin' creeper like, first gear. She can pull, no doubt. The four wheel drive is original..low/high....and yes you have to get out of the truck to engage the front hubs ;)

The bed needs work, as does the rest of the body...which you can see in the pictures. I have the panels to replace the bad, rusted ones between the wells. ..she will need some other cosmetic attention to make her real pretty again, but she runs solid. The glass is also unharmed and original.

I haven't had time to play with her for a couple of years now. I'm sure a battery is needed to get things moving again, I just don't have the time or the resources to futz anymore.

I purchased the truck from a little old man and his son way back in September 1998. It was basically used for hauling stuff to the dump, picking up wood chips and helping move people in and out of their residences. Unfortunately the truck has sat more often than it has been used. As of now, I have plum ran out of time to take of her properly.

Please feel free to ask questions. I will do all I can to answer them.

Thank you very much for looking.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.

Kawei K1 pickup blatantly copies Ford F-150

Thu, Apr 24 2014

The Chinese auto industry used to be looked at as a joke full of products blatantly copied from foreign vehicles. However, companies like Qoros and others show that the country's automakers have taken big steps in terms of original design. It doesn't look like every automaker there is ready to put down the tracing paper yet, though. Case in point: The Kawei K1 pickup pictured above, which is an obvious rip-off of the Ford F-150. In fact, the company isn't even hiding it. Kawei deserves a little credit for its openness. In describing the new model, it says: "No matter the black net grille and the outline of the headlamp, even if the styles of fog lamp and engine cover, it looks the same as Ford Raptor." It also admits that spelling out the model name on the hood is inspired by Land Rover. It's available with either a 2.4-liter, gasoline-fueled four-cylinder producing 141 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque (elsewhere it also lists it as having 162 lb-ft) or a 3.2-liter six-cylinder diesel with 106 hp and 181 lb-ft. Regardless of engine, power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The trucks cost around 100,000 Yuan ($16,033). So at least the K1 is a reasonably priced knockoff. According to Car News China, the K1 is actually selling in small numbers. The company made 10,000 of them last year and even exported some to Africa and the Middle East. Kawei's factory is doubling in capacity this year to build even more. You can read more about the truck on the company's website in some very mangled English.
