There is no buy it now price. This is a no reserve auction. I just want to sell the truck plain and simple for the end auction price and not be bothered with haggling or debating on what it is worth. What ever it gets bid to and sells for will be what it is worth. Please only bid if you can pay cash and pick it up within 7 days of auction end. 

Clean original Ford truck. Spent its whole life (until last week) in Arizona so it is completely rust free. Will post more pics of the underside after I can clean it up a little this week. Its dirty from the road trip to Michigan but its like new underneath - zero rust on anything - not on the exaust, not on the brake lines, not on the fuel lines...not at the body seems ...nothing.  Except for the tires, no reason why it could not drive back. Installed a Edelbrock carburator and recored the ford radiator.  Had a full tune up and new battery, alternator, and coolant system flush before leaving Arizona. Chock sets right and it runs good. 

Starts up, idles, runs and drives great. Very tight driving truck. Interior is in great shape. Radio does not work. Faceplate broke. Air condition is not working and the heater blower fan is only working on low.  

Other than the paint flaking some on the passenger side this Ford truck is super solid and ready to work or remain a clean rust free survivor. There is a dent on the upper driver door on the back side of window but its not very noticable as you can see. I hope that who ever buys this would want to keep taking care of it and preserve it.  

I will offer to drive it to the winning bidders location for the cost of gas (figure about 14mpg), hotel rooms, and my plane ticket home but i doubt anyone is willing to do that.  If you are..i would require payment in full using bank to bank transfer, and remainder due at delivery for gas/hotels, and my plane ticket home (I will not take a bus back - i will only fly back)

Please ask any questions. Winning bidder please pick it up and pay cash within 7 days. This is a no reserve auction and I want to sell the truck easily, please do not bid if you cannot pay cash or If you absoutly must buy it and have it shipped, you must arrange your own shipping following bank to bank transfer and payment in full is received. I wil not accept any checks, money orders, bank checks, cashiers checks, or any form of paper payment.  Have a Awesome day. Please ask any questions.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.
