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.

Ford EcoBoost successful because of Soviet laser weapons system expert?
Sun, 28 Jul 2013Mike Kluzner is a man of many talents. Not only is he the software engineer responsible for fuel system diagnostics for Ford globally, he "got his start designing laser weapon systems capable of disabling the navigation systems of enemy satellites" for the former Soviet Union. Quite a résumé, wouldn't you say?
You may be asking yourself the same question that popped into our minds upon reading about Mr. Kluzner: What do laser weapon systems have to do with Ford and its EcoBoost engines? We'll let the man answer himself. "The same process for analyzing key physical relationships works for what we do today in engine combustion, catalyst chemistry and mechanics," says Kluzner. "These are all part of Ford's software engineering expertise." Who are we to argue?
Ford also employs an engineer who previously designed software to detect damage to the heat tiles on the International Space Station, as well as one who's past work involved particle physics, says the automaker in the press release below. David Bell (pictured above right), global boost system controls engineer for Ford, describes the software running EcoBoost as "the secret sauce" that makes the technology work as the driver intends and demands.
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
2015 Ford Focus ST gets sleeker style, improved dynamics
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The Brits don't really have a major auto show these days. Not in a conventional sense, anyway, with stationary vehicles under floodlights in a closed exposition space. What they do have, you could argue, is much better: the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the public can view the latest machinery not only under an open sky, but in motion as well, speeding up Lord March's front lawn. And this year, British automakers are rolling in with some very enticing new metal.
In the past few days alone we've confirmed the McLaren 650S GT3 and MSO, Jaguar F-Type Project 7, Range Rover Sport SVR and Ariel Ace will all be revealed for the first time at Goodwood this weekend. Ford isn't, strictly speaking, a British automaker, but for all its history in the UK, it might as well. So it's chosen Goodwood as the site to unveil its refreshed Focus ST.
The upgraded Blue Oval hot hatch still packs a 2.0-liter turbo four with 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque driving through a six-speed manual to the front wheels, so we're not expecting much change in measurable performance. But Ford has given the new Focus ST a new front suspension setup and a new electric power-assisted steering rack that combine to promise improved handling.
