Guys I just want to be clear, the complete truck pictured is not my truck for sale here. I am modeling my build after it. Google Tangerine F100. Go to pictures and this beauty will show up. The rest of the pictures are the truck up for auction, as a completed unit which I am aiming at 30 days.
This exciting listing is for my 1967 Bumpside  F100 Short Box Ranger. I am building this truck currently and find myself cresting the options stage. This truck is the very first year of the Bumpside pickups. Back in 1967 the short wheel base 2wd pickup was not a popular item. What rancher would want that. But this truck sexy in its stance caught attention and the following years numbers were ramped up.
In 1967 ford built less than 3,000 of these trucks. 
My truck is being modeled after a tangerine F100 easily found thru google search. I started this project as a new career hopefully. I am very dedicated to my work and will quarantee a quality to show finish. 
I have nearly completed the body rework. Then the fun part... Power! But how much? Should I build a daily driver or should I build a Drag Truck. Should I hack original truck suspension for a very well engineered rack and pinion disk brake front end? Do I pull the original 9" and replace it with 8.8 disk posi trac unit. I could install a computer on the truck and put in antilock brakes and traction control.
I currently have a 347 stroker motor I am getting ready to build. This 12.5 to 1 compression motor has been packaged to produce 450 to 500 ponies on good pump fuel. Scat Stroker Crankshaft, H beam Racing Rods also from Scat, Icoa forged 12:5 to 1 dome pistons .030 os. pro sport Dampner, Mellinger High Volume oil pump. Air Flow Research aluminum 185cc heads, Edelbrock RPM air gap satin polished intake. Total seal gap and tension rings, Ford Motorsports High Performance full roller timing set. 
I need to pick a cam, decide on stall to Match the motor power bands if you will. I have to decide on transmission rebuild type. This truck is going to get a locker for the 9" if it stays. What about gear selection? I intend to put exhaust side dumps as pictured with rear full feature exhaust.
The problem is I'm not building this for me. I'm building it for you. And the only way I can give you what you want is for you to tell me what you want. If I build it my way well then I suppose I cut out a lot of potential buyers.
My way... It gets the 347 Stroker, it gets a shift kit and 2500 to 3000 rpm stall. It gets the Detroit locker with 4.56 gears. Add in some traction bars and stuff some 10" wide slicks in the unmodified wheel wheels. And grab a roll of toilet paper for your passengers. My build isn't highway friendly, but no one can beat this truck to the next stop light with this setup. 
The truck weighs in right at 3,000 pounds. 500 HP to this weight ratio is pretty intense. I think I could get it to jerk the front tires and carry them for a real good time.
You might prefer a truck you can cruise to New York in. You might want this build set up with a fuel injection motor and highway gears and limited slip rear end. Back to taking apart a classic, put a 8.8 disk brake rear with either a crown Victoria rack and pitman front, or there are many aftermarket rack and pinion systems. Fatman builds a couple different systems. Do you desire air ride or just a sweet driving truck. These options are available but not for the price here. Once again, maybe you don't want to take this asphalt pounder apart. We can still get disk setup for stopping power. Just a side thought on the front end. That design is still being used in way more modern vehicles. A brake upgrade might be all you desire.
My build brings a price tag around 42,000. Let's put a fresh 302 in with same set of heads. Get the compression down and have a very aggressive very reliable small block. I'd put her about 350 horse and price tag on the lower side close to 35. My investments and time will set the baseline in the mid 30's. But we can spend more.
I started this build on April 28. Frame has been completely sand blasted and prime with Y2K epoxy primer and then it got Duponts brilliant silver and clear coat. The underside of the bed and cab are painted with Inferno Orange Pearl from restoration shop. It is a urethane enamel with top coat. Very hard paint when setup, I know because I've had to sand some back. This is the paint for resistance to UV and harsh road chemicals. The white is the factory original white from PPG. It hits the  orange real nice actually.
Cab painted top to bottom and waits it's buff and polish. 1,000 dollars in parts will be showing up in a couple days for cab assembly. New door seals, window runs, carpet, firewall pad, body plugs ect. Look at the truck on google. It has a F600 dash cluster. Otherwise I'm chasing it down. I have actually got to finish blasting those chrome pieces next and get them off to chrome. What you want Carbon Fiber... Ok give me some more cash, I'm not scarred!
The inner fenders are painted INF Orange Pearl on top and  black gloss from Ppg underneath. The radiator support is orange ready to assemble. I need to make final decisions on seat material and design. Mine gets factory vinyl with velour. You might prefer black leather with some custom orange stripping and stitching. Do you want your windows tinted?
Let's talk about what you want. It will make the truck much more enjoyable for you. I can do remote locks, heated seats, instead of bench lets put in buckets with a console and floor shift.
Contact me, let's discuss your wants and set a deadline for 30 days.
Really look at additional pictures of door jambs and roof to side cab. These trucks have huge narly seams where panels were joined. I thought it would be a good idea to smooth these areas. I was right but the time involved was a real buzz kill. I have yet to see a truck in the last 3 months with this done.
Also a cool option I want to mention. I have the 300 big block straight six that drove this truck away from the factory. It also drove the truck into my garage 3 months ago. On a resto I could rebuild it. Hey this motor was built into the late 90's for sure. It was is very reliable like a 302. It put out more torque than most small blocks. I seriously thought it would be cool to set up a supercharger off of a mid 90's Buick. Sleeper Six  truck... Or pissed off Bee. Look up supercharged 300 on you tube. Kid puts one in a maverick... Cool!
All rust which was not much was media blasted head to toe. y2k primer is such a superior primer to the 60's. This truck should end up in your grand kids lap. I have so far probably 1000 pictures of every stage of work on the body and frame. I am working the aluminum grill and mouldings on the side in the evenings. I have all the rain drip and window mouldings ready. This truck is going to start getting attitude in the next week or two. Is it gonna be yours. I have an electronics package designed that I won't reveal here. But if you got more cash I can make this truck sick thru a touch screen console. Think "KIT"  Emails brothers and sisters.
I have never sold on ebay before today. I listed some old mustang parts first as a test drive, not bad. This is my attempt at freedom from employers. I am in Casper, WY keeping a respectful eye on Yellowstone. I will share plenty with you take make this deal feel right. Get a zero speedometer truck that I won't put a mile on with out you or your guided permission.

Trump did talk to Bill Ford, but the Kentucky plant was never moving to Mexico

Fri, Nov 18 2016

President-elect Donald J. Trump has been butting heads with Ford for a while now. A lot of it seems to stem from misunderstanding or misrepresenting facts about how the automaker currently does business and its plans for the future. After a sit-down with executive chairman Bill Ford Jr., the misunderstandings continue, but Trump has apparently convinced the company to make some changes. During his campaign, Trump claimed that Ford was going to fire US workers and move manufacturing to Mexico. That wasn't the case – yes, Ford planned to transfer Focus and C-Max production from Wayne, Michigan, to Cuautitlan, Mexico, but no, that wouldn't mean anyone losing their job. The Wayne plant will continue to operate, and likely busier than before, as it will be the home of the new Bronco and Ranger. So Ford CEO Mark Fields responded with the facts, and then chairman Bill Ford Jr. sat down with Trump over the summer. Things apparently weren't resolved to Trump's satisfaction, so he and Bill Ford spoke on the phone yesterday as he claims in this tweet: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Let's pick that apart. First off, it's not a Lincoln plant, per se – the Louisville Assembly Plant currently builds the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC, two small crossovers that share a platform. Ford was considering moving MKC production out of Kentucky to Mexico, but it would not have resulted in many lost jobs if any – the union had already agreed to moving the MKC in 2015 negotiations, and taking production of the slow-selling Lincoln out of the plant would open up capacity for more Fords. Be that as it may, Ford has decided not to move MKC production out of the plant, either for political reasons of placation or because it didn't make the greatest deal of business sense, maybe a combination of the two. That means Trump isn't really saving any American jobs in the short term. If anything, this move could keep Ford supply-constrained and result in reduced sales, which in turn brings the company less money and affects the bottom line and all employees. But that's speculation, so we won't tweet it. There is of course the possibility that Ford will be convinced, either by sheer will or by a more attractive trade situation, to invest in increased US production, which could bear fruit later on. We are told by Ford that the two men did in fact speak yesterday.

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush

Tue, Aug 29 2017

File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.
