This is a great find! Built and sold in TX, this truck has been in the same family since 1972. Everything seems to work on this truck (nothing is botched up) and the odometer reads 88k. Speedo works, temp gauge, gas gauge, all of it!

Spend a few hundred bucks making it legal and safe and run it the way it is! Pictures do not do it justice. This truck turns heads! Chicks dig it.

Rat rod her to your personal preference. Air bag it! Run race headers, side pipes...options are endless.

....or you have a great solid start to a period correct restore. This is your truck for that too.

Personally I wouldn't touch that Patina for a long time! You couldn't ask for a more attention grabbing bad ass truck. It just looks angry and instantly makes you a tough guy (or girl). Just going to the gas station I got a crowd of people around me! My girlfriend said I look sexy in it. I am very close to not selling this.

The ORIGINAL 352 V8 was rebuilt with a hipo cam, head work, intake and 4 barrel. Anyone who knows the FE motor knows what that adds up to....TORQUE MONSTER! It was set up to run on modern gas, given a healthy cam (nice sounding lope), edelbrock intake and matching 4 barrel carb, ...and then the owner died. Kind of adds to the trucks mystique I think.

It has an estimated 5 hours of run time to keep things lubed up.

I have flushed the gas tank, replaced gas lines, installed an inline fuel filter, a new mechanical fuel pump, and she fired up and runs on all eight like nobodys business. At least one side of the exhaust is leaking bad at the manifold/exhaust donut, (old school 2' duals with cherry bombs hang in place), but it still sounds great. I ran it softly to operating temp and flushed out the oil, ran a big magnet through the oil and It was clean as could be. Zero smoke, no funny noises, just a solid healthy ford v8 that needs a good tuning. The engine is clean, all gaskets, freeze plugs etc. were replaced and block was repainted blue.

If I were to keep it, this would be my path to get it on the road.

-Two exhaust manifold gaskets (donut between pipe and manifold) Heck, Id probably spring for a new flowmaster or magnaflow dual set up. Looks like this exhaust has been with the truck a while....

-New Rubber

-Front shocks

-Drum brake rebuilds (it stops fine but its old and its fast!!!) dont be dumb. Pads and springs are cheap.

-Set the timing and tune the carb.

-I would probably update the cassette deck;)

-Go through front end with a fine tooth comb (safety first) Replace bushings/ball joints as necessary. I didn't see anything that needs immediate attention.

The interior is probably my favorite part!

The factory seat isn't even worn out! There is nothing like a Red bench in a black classic pickup! The headliner and both interior door covers are in amazing shape with just a tinge of Patina... its like a work of art. You can't help but fall in love with this thing.

The F100 V8 with the spare tire in the flare side is super rare. When was the last time you saw one pass you? It even appears that the original 1967 spare poly tire is mounted. The bolts have never been turned and it was under cover until now.

As stated above there is a little decay under the rear fenders below the bed where wasps built large bulletproof nests that held moisture over the years. This is a seperate bolt in peice!!! No work at all!!

There was a nest under the mat in the upper right hand side of passenger floor as well. Super easy fix. This is not a unibody vehicle but a heavy duty framed vehicle. The floor repair is simple and not part of the structural integrity of the vehicle. One of the doors has a couple of bondo skims (painted black) over small dents, nothing major. Never in any accidents.

You will see in the pictures that the owner did a nice job of welding plate steel in the bed over the factory wood planks. Keep it like that (nice clean welding job), or cut it out and redo the the wood planks underneath for a really cool look. Cherry wood on that Patina with a red interior would look amazing!!! A little extra weight back there doesn't hurt. It has a claimed weight around 3000 but it feels a lot lighter then that....

Well that's it for now. With an average retail of 10k-14k plus in unrestored condition you can bid with confidence that you can't lose money on this beauty.

Real Mans Truck all the way. Air conditioning- Rotate front triangular windows inward;)

Google's new Android Autos OS unveiled, will be in cars this year [w/video]

Wed, 25 Jun 2014

Connected cars are coming en-masse. We know this much. How, though, remains something of an open question, especially as two of the world's largest tech companies are preparing to battle for control of your car's dashboard. On the one hand, we have Apple and its CarPlay system. And now, we know what Google has been working on with Auto Link.
Its new name is Android Auto, and yes, it's based off the Android architecture that is the primary challenger to Apple's iOS mobile operating system. Announced at Google's I/O conference today, Android Auto functions similarly to CarPlay - owners will need to plug their smartphones into their cars to access the full breadth of capability.
In Android Auto's case, that means a wealth of voice controls to limit distracted driving. Google's marquee apps will be available when the interface arrives in production models later this year, including Google Play Music, Google Maps and voice-activated texting and text playback. Meanwhile, developers will be able to begin designing custom apps for the new system via an upcoming software development kit.

Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
