This is my 1964 F100 short-bed truck. I have had it for about 6 years now and I am ready for something new. If you have a muscle car from 1965-74, I am open to a trade. I had all the work done on this truck by the guy who sold it to me. I have never had any problems with it. The 302 in the truck is from 1985. Chrome front and back bumpers. Newer tires with less than 6,000 miles on them. Truck is rust free. It has a newer Edelbrock 550 4-barrel carb on it that makes this beast run really nice. I had it tuned by my mechanic and he did a wonderful job. The truck has power brakes that work really really well and I can stop on a dime. When I bought the truck 6 years ago I had the rack and pinion power steering installed. It was a kit from a company called No-Limit engineering, via nolimit.net, out of San Berdoo, California. I dealt with the gentleman who machined the parts myself and every time I get the oil changed the mechanic who does the service compliments me on how nice the front end is on the truck. The power steering package alone was right around $800 before installation costs. It also has a brand new Reese hitch that tows very nicely. I have replaced the plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, transmission pan gasket, the transmission fluid, voltage regulator, fuel filters, fuel pump, gas cap, valve cover gaskets, chrome valve covers, air filter, radiator hoses, it gets regular oil changes, and the horn is new. It now has an "ah-oogah" horn.

This truck has served me well. If I were to keep it, I would get a new paint job. You can see in the pictures that it has some peeling at the gas tank. That's because the old gas cap leaked out gas when I had the truck parked on a hill overnight and the gas ate through the paint. I replaced the gas cap and the problem was solved. That happened 3 months after I got the truck. The paint has not peeled any further and when I wash the truck there isn't any more paint that peels away. The spot that lost paint has been that big since the day the gas leaked out. I have driven this truck from St. Louis, Missouri to downtown Houston, Texas and back without any problems three times. I was going to school in Texas and coming home for the summer over the last 5 years. This truck made the trip three times and handled Houston city driving every time. I also have a Harley 883 Iron, this truck pulled my bike across the country with no problem and I would not have any worries about doing it again.

All in all I would say this truck is a solid driver that has some minor cosmetic flaws. There is a small ding on the driver's side door just back from the side mirror from a rock. There is a ding in the bed of the truck up by the cab's rear window glass. Other than that though, there are not any dings on the truck. When/if you decided to paint this truck, these small dings would not amount to much if anything in prep work for a new paintjob. This truck is not perfect though. It is a driver quality truck that will get you noticed. If you like every car fan and his brother coming over and chatting you up about your truck each time you stop for gas, food, or anything else, then this is the truck for you.

I will eventually provide a phone number, but I didn't get around to getting one today, so until then if you have any questions, contact me through Ebay. I check this regularly and I would be more than happy to answer any of your questions or concerns.

Truckmakers squabbling over who can sell Jimmy Fallon a pickup

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Snagging a celebrity endorsement is a big deal for automakers, as evidenced by the recent efforts of the Detroit Three to try and woo The Tonight Show's newest host, Jimmy Fallon, into one of their trucks.
After announcing during Wednesday night's show that he was in the market for a pickup truck, Fallon set off a firestorm of efforts on Twitter, with both Ford and Chevrolet petitioning the funnyman to test out a truck. According to Ad Age, Ford recommended the King Ranch edition of its next-generation F-150 while the show was still airing. Chevy, meanwhile, waited until the next morning to pitch a Silverado to Fallon.
The winner of this social media feeding frenzy, though, was Ram. Promoting a variation of its "Guts, Glory, Ram" tagline, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer created the hashtag #GUTSGLORYFallon. It even went so far as to park a Ram 1500 outside 30 Rockefeller Center in New York, where The Tonight Show is filmed. On the back of the Ram sat a sign, reading "Big enough, Jimmy? Test it out," referencing a joke from the Wednesday show.

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.
