Wentworth, Missouri, United States

 NO RUST!   1997 Ford F-350, 4x4 (hub lock-in), Crew cab, 7.3 Power Stroke Diesel, Long bed, Automatic.  This is a tough, solid, running machine.  Starts up beautifully. Runs perfectly. This is a very, very nice truck in great condition. 

The Exterior of the truck has NO RUST. It has the dual fuel tanks and a goose-neck ball. It has a spray-in rhino liner and husky toolbox. It is in excellent condition with the following exceptions: There is a dent on the tailgate. On the R side bed panel a couple spots of paint/clear-coat were removed by power washing. There is a very small dent behind the RR door that is not very noticeable. We just installed a brand new windshield. Bumper on FR side is bent down a couple inches. 

The interior is in good condition for its age and mileage. It has the very spacious crew cab interior. No rips in the upholstery, but some wear. Radio and CD player work but display panel does not light up. RR window does not work--but we haven't investigated the cause. AC is ice cold. Heater works well. Truck has security system that works well. 

Mechanically the truck is in excellent condition. This is a powerhouse. This Ford 7.3 diesel powerstroke engine is equipped with a "super chip max micro tuner" with 3 settings to adjust speed to torq ratios. Truck starts perfectly, even in the cold. Drives smoothly. There are no issues with steering or linkage. There are no squeaks or squeals or leaks or drips.

I will miss this truck.  The reason we are selling is that we have a lawn care business and are switching from running pickup trucks and trailers to running Isuzu landscaping trucks. 

This truck is one of Ford's top trucks. It has the legendary 7.3. It has the really classic much-loved 1997 body style.

Previous owner was a perfectionist and maintained it perfectly. He was from Colorado & was the second owner--truck was from Texas before that.

You are welcome to come see the truck in person. We are in SW Missouri. Please call with any questions. (417) 635-7139. We could also e-mail more pictures if you want.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.

Jay Leno drives postcard-perfect '32 Ford Highboy Roadster

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

At the turn of the century, it was arguably the Honda Civic that best defined inexpensive performance tuning, and in the '50s it was the Tri-5 Chevys. One of the earliest platforms to gain a huge following among young people looking for a cheap way to go fast was the classic '32 Ford Highboy Roadster. This week, Jay Leno's Garage looks at one of the very first vehicles that defined the look of the hot rod heyday.
This '32 Ford was built in the '40s and graced the cover of the fourth issue of Hot Rod Magazine back in 1948. All of the hot rods that you see shining at car shows today owe a serious debt of gratitude to this roadster. It bears all of the cues that define the look, including a notched frame and hidden door hinges. Under the three-piece hood is a flathead V8 boasting all sorts of period modifications, including copper cylinder heads. It was seriously fast in its era too, and proved it by reaching 112.21 miles per hour on a dry lakebed in 1947.
These days, this hot rod is on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum. Although, if you can't make it to California to see it, the United States Postal Service is celebrating this Ford with one of its two hot rod Forever stamps. Like Jay says in the video, in terms of hot rodding, "it all comes back to this." Check out the video to learn more about this rolling piece of tuning history.

Michigan museum offers Model T driving classes

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.
