1965 Ford F100 / F250 Long Bed Truck Rat Rod Slick Sixty A Real Sleeper

This is a project I have had for 11 years and I am just not able to get it finished- It deserves better. A diamond in the rough- make it yours.

It is a 1965 F100 converted to an F250 3/4 ton- a real truck not an F100! Truck has the Dana 60 rear end with limited slip differential and 4:11 gear. It was a camper special. Has the factory bucket seat option which is very rare. Never had any rust. It is painted close to original color with exception that I matted it out so it would not be shinny. Tires are big and OK but not new. The bed has been Rhino Lined then painted to match. The truck is in great condition. Has a new front windshield with new rubber. Has a new rubber in the rear window.

For the cool stuff:

Has a factory 427- 409 FE cast iron headers from a Fairlane.
I installed a TKO short OD (.83) five speed transmission.
Has a Ford big block FE 390 that runs OK- needs to be tuned up.
New Holley Street Avenger 4-Brl carburetor.
MSD 6A Ignition.
Radiator is only 3 years old.
Custom exhaust that crosses under truck - straight pipes- but not too loud-FUN sounding!

It is a great driving truck just needs to be finished. Stock height with stock suspension, it is a great start to go in a number of directions: Rat Rod, Sleeper, Original or RestoMod, whatever you want. That is probably why I could never get the project done- Which direction to go? I was going to use it to pull around a Shelby Cobra I had.

Good clean title- currently on CA Non-Operational status. I have lots of spares that all go with the sale: Dashes, Interior parts, new stuff, etc. The reserve is half what I have in it – so if you were ever serious about doing a Slick Sixty you will not go wrong with this.

Condition:

Truck is serviced and ready to drive it currently is not real comfortable but it will go anywhere.

I have the truck listed locally so I will reserve the right to pull auction if I get a bucket load of money. It is solid and has been a garage queen for five years and it deserves better. Good luck bidding!

NOTES: Understanding this is a large purchase I will offer this guarantee-If you are not happy with the car after an inspection and within seven days of auction end I will give you your money back-less fees, simple. I want you to be happy.

PAYMENT-TERMS: Ask questions no returns unless of course, I made a mistake or you believe I misrepresented the item. I am doing my best. If there is any written conflict between Ebay boiler plate and this unique description- this description will take precedence! Please, $500.00 PayPal deposit due at auctions end balance due within 7 days of auctions end via cash, wire transfer or certified cashiers check only. (I will need to allow CC to clear prior to pick up).

SHIPPING: No shipping, I will load on your truck and help out any way I can. If paid for it can stay here for a “Reasonable” amount of time.

FEEDBACK: I am a real person not a dealer and have been a member since 1998. I have given bad feedback and received some as well. My feedback rating is important to me, but having a no hassle transaction is even more important. If for any reason you don't feel you can leave me 5 star sellers rating in any category, please let me know before leaving feedback so I can try and resolve the issue.

Good Luck Bidding!

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectivelyÂ— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]

Fri, 30 May 2014

Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
