Original unmolested 1966 Ford Bronco Half Cab. This half-cab was built in early September 1965 and could very well be the first Half-cab bronco ever produced. It is in great original condition and still maintains most of it's original Ford paint. It has brand new tires, brand new exhaust from the engine to the rear of the bronco. The bench seat has just been recovered with the foam and springs getting replacement parts as well. It runs and drives great. The original six cylinder engine purrs like it should. The three speed manual shift transmission shifts perfectly and doesn't make any unusual noises. The bronco was ordered early in production and was one of the first bronco half-cabs produced. The earliest of the broncos had the extra long transfer case shifter (as can be seen in the pictures) and this one still has the original floor mat. This bronco was also ordered with the optional trim package which included AM radio that still works Outside rear view mirror, door arm rests, passenger and driver sunvisors, chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome gas cap and chrome trim rings on the taillights

UPDATE..... I have had a lot of questions. Let me start with this is a daily driver. I just drove this Bronco from my house (at 6300 feet in the mountains of Utah) to the muffler shop and Cabelas (at 4000 feet in the city) for a round trip of 175 miles. The bronco drives straight and does not pull left or right Just straight. No unusual noises. The motor never got over the halfway mark on the temperature gauge and the oil pressure was 45 PSI and steady at idle or 55 mph. The windshield wipers are VACUUM and work perfectly. The brakes are in great working condition and need nothing. I recently replaced the left rear wheel cylinder and overhauled the master cylinder. I did not replace the Master cylinder, I simply bought a rebuild kit and overhauled the ORIGINAL master cylinder to keep the original parts.

This is an extremely good daily driver and needs nothing (except a new owner) and will give many years of service to the new owner.

I have included more pictures of the interior for those needing to see the seat, dash, radio and speedometer..

Thanks and happy bidding

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
