Up for sale today is my 1988 Ford E350 / F350 Ford Dually. This is a factory conversion truck that is extremely rare. This truck was built by Centurian Conversions and this model is called a "DREAMER". This is a very nice truck, there was one of these recently restored on Counting Cars at the Counts Customs shop and it cost $15,000 to restore it. This one is already done and it's beautiful. These trucks are about as heavy duty as they come, they were built on an ambulance chassis and they are very tough. The entire inside of the truck bed is made from plate steel and has been coated with some sort of Line-x type of coating.
There were very few of these made and this one is a true survivor. The paint is in excellent condition and the interior is very nice as well. The interior was completely redone about 4 years ago. At the time of the interior restoration there was also new engine also installed and it has approximately 5,000 miles on it since the replacement. The original engine had a Banks Turbo installed on it and a repair shop turned the boost up to high on it and ruined the original engine, forcing the replacement. The new engine is a 7.3 International Diesel. This truck is an automatic and it has an optional GEARING VENDORS OVERDRIVE kit installed on it. I haven't figured out how to get the overdrive to work though. I was told that when the new engine was installed the mechanic left something disconnected and it hasn't worked since. I'm guessing it's just a wire, but I'm not a diesel mechanic.
I had some needed repairs done due to the truck sitting for a while before I bought it (new injector lines, some A/C work, New Alternator, and a few more things). This truck should be good to go now.
I can tell you that this truck runs pretty well, as I recently drove it about 1,200 miles and it did very well and the AIR CONDITIONING WORKS. The Sleeper in the back is pretty comfortable for one person, but you might be able to sleep two if you snuggle. The captain chairs are comfortable with arm rests, recline and they even have a locking swivel base.
I bought this truck with the intention of starting an over the road hauling business when I was out of work. The day after I bought it though, I was called back to my old job, so now I have no use for a truck of this size. The bed of this truck is almost 10 ft. verses a standard 8 ft. truck bed.
This would be great for someone with a nice 5th Wheel Camper to tour the country with or for someone wanting to get started hauling cars or heavy trailers over the road. I'm sure the 92 GALLON auxiliary fuel tank will be very handy as well for those long cross country drives.
It has three trailer hitches... 16,000 Lb. 5th wheel, an in bed tag-along hitch, and the usual bumper trailer hitch.
All the tires are pretty new with very good tread.
Please feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
I do have a reserve on this auction, but it is below the $6,000 BUY IT NOW price. My buy it now price is almost exactly what I have invested in this truck. Thankyou for looking and happy bidding.

Ford Mustang GT500 successor spied near SVT
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Details about the next-gen Ford Mustang are scarce, and there's even less information out there about the upcoming replacement for the Shelby GT500. Previously rumored to drop the Shelby name and wear the GT350 moniker, the highest-performance Mustang has just been spotted testing near Ford's SVT operations.
Despite being cloaked in heavy camouflage, we can instantly tell this prototype is different from other Mustang spy shots we've seen in the past. Aside from the Shelby-spec wheels, quad exhaust outlets (previous spy shots show only two) and beefier brakes, this car also has air intakes on the hood and front fenders. These elements help to neither prove nor dismiss rumors that the next SVT Mustang will be naturally aspirated. It also looks like Ford is may be planning some changes to this car's rear suspension, as there is some extra camouflage added beneath the rear end of this prototype.
As a bonus, these spy shots also give us our first look inside the new Mustang, revealing a new steering wheel (with more buttons) and a glimpse of the dual-pod instrument gauges. Check out past spy shots of the 2015 Mustang showing off its new face and driving around town.
2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
