Ford F150 Custom LWB

The Truck Is a Two owner purchased by me several months ago from a Lady who's husband passed. The truck has sat for a few years with no attention when i found it and purchased. 
At the time of purchase I was told that the last time the truck had been driven the Radiator had burst and the truck towed to a repair shop where a new one was installed. It then sat 
for a while when one of the gentleman's kid went to use the truck and the carb starting leaking gas and it didn't move until I purchased it. I had the Carb rebuilt, new hoses and belt,
plugs and wires, dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers, all new door and window trim so it's tight, new gas tank, fill and vent hose, sending unit. rims and tires, battery, glove box liner, radio and speakers,
rear tail light assembly and bulbs along with all fluids changed.

Everything on this truck works with the exception of the A/c and that is one thing I have yet to tackle. It has been repainted and the paint job is what it is and there is rust in the normal
'73 places. I also have the factory steel wheels and dog dishes with whitewall tires, a tool box that was on when i purchased it along with the factory radio and a set of shackles for the 
rear that i have not installed that were purchased to level the truck. 

The truck runs and drives down the road at what ever speed you want to go, it's easy to drive and dependable in getting you there. The Rim/tire package was purchased from
Discount Tire Direct at 1100.00 they only have about 400 miles on them the tires on the Steelies have tread but not sure how old they are. you will see current pictures of the 
truck and pictures of the truck when i purchased at the ladies home with the steelies and whitewalls along with the the toolbox. This truck would make a great First Project,
first vehicle, great farm truck or something that would get you around if your a doomsday prepper that thinks todays electronics will be compromised. 

Email me with any questions.

Aluminum Ford F-150 earns five-star crash rating [w/video]

Thu, Apr 16 2015

The scores are in, and the 2015 Ford F-150 has been awarded a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's testing. That makes it, according to Ford, the safest F-150 ever. "The five-star safety rating is a terrific example of One Ford collaboration and innovation," Vice President of Global Product Development Raj Nair said in a statement. "Our truck team worked together for years to deliver this accomplishment, using an unprecedented combination of advanced materials throughout the all-new F-150. The 2015 model is engineered to be the safest F-150 ever, which matters to customers who depend on this truck to not only get the job done, but also get them safely home." The new F-150's aluminum and high-strength-steel construction posed some unique challenges to truck's engineers. "The team had to invent new ways to manage crash energy, because advanced materials like high-strength steel behave differently," Matt Niesluchowski, the truck's safety manager. "We found that changing certain shapes led to a weight reduction, while also improving crash performance." Beyond the structural safety features, the 2015 F-150 is loaded with additional safety features, including an adaptive steering column and Ford's inflatable seat belts, that protects drivers in the event of a collision. Beyond that, there's the usual array of active safety features meant to prevent a crash in the first place, including Curve Control and forward collision warning with brake support. Check out Ford's full press release on its five-star score, as well as video on the truck's safety features.

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.

Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
