One Owner Super Nice F-100 Long Bed Truck on 2040-cars
Pretty Prairie, Kansas, United States
|
This is a 1966 F-100 owned by my dad who drove it off the show room floor in 1966 my son and I pulled it from the pasture in the early 2000s and started restoring it. A mistake almost with the work it needed. I'm pretty sure there are those out there that know what I mean. The motor is the original 352V8 I did have it rebuilt with all new parts a few extras were added like a 4 barrel intake and carb electronic ignition ect. I do have the original 2 barrel intake for the motor. The original 4 speed transmission I replaced with a 4 speed overdrive made a big difference in fuel as 1500 RPM runs the truck at 65mph no modifications were done doing this I used the same cross member and no holes were drilled in the frame for the install the pressure plate clutch throw out bearing and pilot bearing were replaced as well and the flywheel turned to. I did have a one piece aluminum drive shaft made to eliminate the two piece carrier bearing set up. I do have the original 4 speed transmission as well. As you can see from the photos it was taken all the way down when we started on it. 95 % of the chrome is new all brakes bearings ect are new. The door hinges window cranks door latches window molding's ect all new.The paint is pearl white interior is pearl white and blue I installed power steering as well so all components are new. The bed is rhino lined and has a heavy rubber mat in it some photos show a tool box in it that will not go with the sale unless you want it also no holes were drilled in the bed to mount that either. This is a very fun truck to drive and very solid can be driven anywhere or just sit and look at. The truck may have 10,000 miles on all the work done So if you have been looking for a vintage truck at a more then fair price as I have looked at many this may be the one for you thanks for viewing my add if you have questions ask or would like a special photo that I don't have on here just ask for that to by e-mail or by phone 620-200-1285 Dave

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment
Thu, 20 Mar 2014One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
