Up for grabs is a 1974 Ford F-100 Custom Long Box. I bought this truck from the original owners wife who's husband bought it brand new . It had been sitting for some time before I purchased it last licensed in 2012. Truck has original paint (Village green & Wimbledon white) and has never been wrecked. Truck was equipped with 3 spd cruise o matic and 390 v8 has power steering and power brakes has a/c but has been removed have original compressor and will come with truck . Truck has a new 4 barrel elelbrock carb and truck runs ok it's not perfect. It had been sitting like I said for two years only being started every few weeks had old gas I've since ran a tank of new gas through the front tank . I have not used the rear tank at all. Motor looks to be stock except the carb and headers. I have replaced the collector gaskets and then noticed a leak on the drivers side header gasket so it does have a leak on the drivers side that will need attention. Truck does leak a little oil but have not noticed it burning any oil. Odometer shows 47k I would guess 147k the wife of owner who passed away said she thought 147k . The interior of truck looks great has some cracks on dash but seat is like mint condition had seat cover on truck since new. Every thing works except the blinkers you have to hold the lever to get them to operate. Oil pressure gauge does not work and left turn signal light on dash is out. Truck doesn't overheat and does drive ok it's old so don't expect a new truck. Tires only have 4k miles on them but they were purchased in 2000 according to receipt they are dry rotted and I wouldn't trust them to drive across the country. Truck has been in NM it's entire life so the sun has rotted all rubber parts on truck. For some reason the owner liked spray paint and painted the engine black and grill guard silver also had even sprayed the mag wheels and parts of engine bay silver.. The truck has rust on hood and spots on truck you see that are covered in primer ( see pictures ) . Windshield is cracked and all other glass is somewhat cloudy and scratched. Owner also did a half ass job with bed liner material in truck bed . Front bumper is bent in a little on passenger side and tailgate latch is not working you can open tailgate by pulling rod with pliers . Truck will come with original A/C compressor , exhaust manifolds , warranty card and owners manual and purchase agreement .

This is a cool vintage truck that has a lot of potential have a clear NM title in my name ready to transfer . If you have zero feedback please contact me before bidding . Truck is at No reserve If you have any questions or need additional pictures please call me at 575-534-9089. Thanks.

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the YearÂ™ awards. The Green Truck of the YearÂ™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the YearÂ™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the YearÂ™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

Ford wins second consecutive International Van of the Year award with Transit Connect

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

The redesigned 2014 Ford Transit Connect isn't even on sale yet, but it's already making its presence felt around the world. At a commercial vehicle expo in Russia, the Transit Connect was named the International Van of the Year.
Ford's small work van edged out the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter by just seven points to allow Ford to grab this honor for the second consecutive year, which it won last year with the Transit Custom. Not only does this make Ford the first to ever win the award in back-to-back years, but it's also the fifth time the automaker has won this award since 2003 (two with the Transit Connect, two with the fullsize Transit and once with the Transit Custom). Ford congratulates itself for the accomplishment in a press release posted below.
