1968 Ford Bronco on 2040-cars
Highland, Michigan, United States
|
I have decided to sell my hard work (and $$) of the past two years. The truck has been totally gone through in that time. it is very reliable and have used it as daily transportation in the summer from time to time. BODY: The paint and body work had been performed by the previous ower in 2010. It has a sticker from the body shop who did the work in the glove box lid. I would consider the work to be a real nice "5 footer" paint job. That being said there are some flaws like a fish eye or two and some dust in the finish that still could be sanded or wheeled out. You would need to look for these areas but i will disclose that. Also there are two spots that have a crack in the paint that have been there and not gotten worse since i have owned it. All of the door jams and underside of doors are rust free and clean. I send HOURS scrubbing and cleaning the frame and underside of the truck and POR 15 and under coated it. INTERIOR:All gauges and wiring work as they should. I have added a headlight harness to take the stress off of the head light switch and factory wiring. The interior is from a Ranger package and is in very nice driver condition with no rips or tears. There is just one same crack in the driver seat that is not a issue at this time.I have a nice radio with four speakers and a small powered sub under the back seat. I also added a Brono Bob family cage for protection. It does have a soft top that is in good condition except it has a 2"x2" hole that had to be repaired. DRIVETRAIN: This Truck was built from a mix of a 1968 and a 1977 Bronco. the drive train is from the much more desirable 1977. the motor is a 302 that does not tick,knock or smoke. the compression i checked when i got it was around 130PSI and very consistant. It like all old cars/truck leaks a bit of oil after each drive. I belive the leak is from the rear main seal, but is very light. I have replaced the voltage regulator, distributor was rebuilt, new power steering pump, new radiator, hooker headers,intake gaskets, termastat, plugs, belts, hoses, starter, ect. rebuilt carb, manual choke.It has Dana 44 front axel with disk brakes, a Ford 9" rear end, and a Dana J shift transfer case.I replaced the rear axel bearings and seals. The diff fluids have been replaced. I belive the rear also is a ford trac lock posi.The trans is a C4 automatic that was just rebuilt along with the transfer case less then 2000 miles ago. SUSPENTION: It has a 2 1/2" lift. It also has duel shocks at all corners. I have replaced all of the rear suspention, BDS shocks, and DEAVER 11 pack rear springs and all bushings. WHEELS: new set of american racing Outlaw II wheels with 32" BFG KM2 mud terrains. Maybe 2000 miles on them. Im sure i am missing alot as i did sooo much to this truck, These are the best photos i have available right now, as it is in the garage in storage. I encourage you to call and ask questions and ask for pictures if needed.I also would encourage you to come look at it in person at delivery if possable but will Help ship once all money has been collected.Iwill ask for a 500 non refundable deposit with in 24 hours of auction end, and final payment with in 4 days. I will store it as long as nessary where it sits once paid for. Good luck and happy biding, truck is for sale locally so i may end auction at anytime. contact me @ bglossinger@gmail.com and leave me your name and number to call you back for any detail needed. |

What an Atlas-based Ford F-150 might look like
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Just ahead of January's Detroit Auto Show, surprising rumors pegged Ford as revealing some sort of F-150 concept, perhaps as a hurried effort to deflate some of the buzz building around General Motors' new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins, which were also making their auto show debut. Those rumblings turned out to be true, as Ford rolled into the Motor City with its Atlas concept (inset, right), touting the truck's bold styling as a precursor to the next-generation F-Series.
The show truck featured all kinds of clever details, including active wheel shutters and a front air dam that raised and lowered to improve aerodynamics while preserving off-road ability. It also had a genuinely snarly face. And it's that pugnacious snout that may well be on its way to production. The good folks at TopSpeed have worked up the plausible-looking artist's rendering above by cross-referencing the Atlas concept with what little has been revealed from recent spy shots. The look is toned-down pretty dramatically from the concept truck, but its Atlas roots are clear, with a massive three-bar grille and bracket-shaped headlamps hiding a next-generation EcoBoost engine. In the rendering, the show truck's deeply contoured hood and roofline have been ditched and larger, more traditional side mirrors have been fitted - all likely concessions in the move to production sheetmetal.
While Ford has yet to officially announce when it will unveil the 2015 F-150, all signs point to next year's Detroit Auto Show - one year after the Atlas shrugged off GM's new pickups.
Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
