To list work done on this truck since I have owned it:Engine changeover to 302 V8 I had ( not a big fan of the original 360). Clutch kit does not seem perfectly balanced, and thus may have caused rear main seal leakage. Clearance from oil pan to front axle is close, but probably remedied by reversing sump. Alternately, you could return to 360 or larger big block engine. New dual exhaust system to back end of truck. Four barrel carb on 302 needs rebuilding as floats sometimes stick.4 speed manual transmission is joined to a single speed transfer case (OEM) No leaks detected from either. From there, all universal joints have been replaced, including those on front axle, and seals have been replaced. I have noticed leakage of gear oil from rear axle since it has been parked, presumably the pinion seal, but it may be the back cover.Steering gear is in excellent condition, any worn steering components have been replaced. The truck steers straight and tight.Brakes are manual, not power, but they are in excellent shape. New brake shoes and wheel cylinders, new brake hose to front axle, new emergency brake cables, new master cylinder.Body-wise, the outside of the cab and box have been professionally redone, then primed and sealed. The cab dash has not been reworked, but the area around the rocker panels has (see pictures). The inside of the box has not been worked on and is dented, but is very sound and not heavily rusted. Fenders, doors and hood are in reasonably good condition. Tailgate is not much- what I had on hand. (Doors have had new seals and full anti-rattle kits installed- they are quiet). I put in fender liners of heavy gauge plastic to protect areas in wheel wells- something Ford should have done. Inner fenders and core support are adequate working condition but have some rust. The grille is from a 1967 F100.The frame is quite nice (Montana truck) with no scaly rust.Electrical for the most works fine, except horn and engine oil light, which seems to work in reverse (on when oil pressure is sensed). This truck should pass most state inspections as it is today.

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford Fusion demand outstripping supply
Sat, 15 Jun 2013The attractive new 2013 Ford Fusion has done wonders for the brand in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment - the vehicle is up nearly 22 percent compared to last year. But that sales momentum may soon hold steady due to low inventory levels of the new Fusion across the United States.
According to a report in The Detroit News, citing automotive data and Ward's Auto, Ford currently has a 39-day supply of the Fusion. That might sound fine, but a normally healthy average is about a 60-day supply. If Ford were to stop production on the Fusion today, there would only be enough vehicles available to get through another five weeks of sales, according to the News.
Currently, Ford produces the Fusion at its three-shift assembly plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, and will add production at its facility in Flat Rock, MI later this year. A Ford spokesperson told The Detroit News that when Flat Rock production comes online, the automaker will need to rush new stock out to the regions with the most demand for the Fusion. Ford has doubled its coastal retail market share, with huge amounts of growth in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, the News reports.
2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford 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.
