1973 Ford F100 F-100 Ranger Xlt Short Bed Pick-up Truck 390 46k Original Miles! on 2040-cars
Dallas, Texas, United States
|
What a great old truck! If I had room for it, I would surely keep it. This 1973 Ford F100 SHORT BED (bed is 6'10") has only 46K original miles, and has been stored properly in Dallas, TX. When you look at the under carriage pictures, you will see that it has surface rust only. Runs great. Numbers matching 390 V8, with original Carburetor, C-6 Automatic Transmission with Power Brakes, Power Steering and Air Conditioning which works well (and, again, since I am in DALLAS, I do KNOW air conditioning!) Original A/C compressor. (or appears to be so, it certainly is the original type). Engine runs strong. No smoking at start up, or any other time. It will squeal the tires from a stop, and chirp the tires as the automatic shifts from first to second. I thought about warming the motor up a little, but it is so original I left it alone. I did re-build the carburetor recently, replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, and serviced the A/C. Cigarette lighter works fine, and I use the plug for my phone charger. All lights work. EVERYTHING works. Has a few very small dents from over the years. I installed a Petronix electronic ignition inside the stock distributor. Works perfectly. You can take it back to points if you like, but I do not know why you would. Has 15" Michelin tires that have less than 2000 miles. Had I kept the truck I might have installed slightly larger 15" rubber, but these tires were simply too good to take off now. They have some years on them, but since the truck has been stored properly, there is no dry rot. Some of the pictures show the white letters on the tires to be on the outside, but I had them turned in to the inside recently as I prefer that look. Hubcaps are original Ford. This truck has what I believe to be the ORIGINAL bias-ply spare tire on the spare tire carrier! (I do not know if it is original, of course, but it is certainly a bias ply tire!) I do not know if the spare was ever on the ground save for maybe rotating the tires. Original jack is in place under the hood. Interior looks great! No rips or tears. The only place I notice a little wear is when you get out on the driver's side, the seat springs seem a little weak. When you are in the driving position they seem correct. Headliner correct and original. Cargo area and under hood lamps work properly. Has chrome bumpers, and I have bumper guards for the front. I removed them, as I think it is a cleaner look. Paint is fading. It could be compounded and improve its appearance, but it is 41 year old paint. Bed shows paint scratches, but very light wear on the metal. One small dent in the front portion of the hood above the F in Ford above the grill. Looks like a .22 caliber dent! (Not a hole, just an impression) All trim pieces and badges are in place This is a great truck. It gets compliments EVERY WHERE it goes. I wish I had a place for it! NO EMAILS....Please CALL if you have Serious Interest. 214-902-9724. Thank you for your interest.

Ford hiring 2,200 salaried US workers this year
Fri, 11 Jan 2013With its influx of popular new products made in the US, Ford Motor Company has announced that it intends to hire 2,200 new salaried workers domestically this year. This is the biggest increase of salaried workers for Ford in the last 10 years, and it is all a part of Ford's contract commitment to the United Auto Workers union to bring 12,000 new jobs to the US by 2015.
There were no specifics as to where in the US these job openings will be, but Ford did reiterate that it will be spending $773 million on equipment upgrades and capacity expansion at six plants located in southeast Michigan; as a whole, Ford is investing a total of $6.2 billion to its US assembly plants over the next couple years. According to recently appointed president of the Americas Joe Hinrichs, the new jobs will be focused on areas such as engineering, manufacturing and computer software. Ford will post its job openings online at careers.ford.com, and it will also use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to recruit new workers, including military veterans.
Scroll down for more about Ford's planned job growth as well as how to go about applying for said openings.
Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
