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.

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery
Sun, 08 Jun 2014After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
