1978 Ford F-150 4x4 (low Reserve) on 2040-cars
Gunnison, Colorado, United States
1978 Ford F150 4x4. 351M, C6 NOTE: Truck has clear title. It is missing the VIN plate on the drivers door jam. This is an excellent example of a clean & rust free "dent-side" ford pickup. The truck is a rare short bed 4x4. Sitting high with a skyjacker suspension lift and 37" tires on new 16.5 rock crawler rims. Beautiful pearl maroon paint sparkles in the sun and compliments the all black trim. This truck is a true eye catcher and looks phenomenal, I have had many compliments on the appearance. The truck has square headlights like a 1979 Ford. All lights, signals and gauges work except the dome light. Electrically, this truck is solid and doesn't have any ignition issues or shorts. The 351M motor runs strong and is fed through a completely rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 2bbl carburetor. Motor has all new plugs and wires, new filters, pcv valve and is vacuum leak free. Dana 44 high pinion front axle and 9" rear axle. 3.50 gears keeps the RPM's down on the highway. Truck gets between 10-12 MPG! Hi/low transfer case NP205. Brand new rear drive shaft. Interior is clean. New LMC carpet covers rust free floor pans. Dash cover w/no cracks. Seat is in fine condition. Door panels are not perfect but workable (see pictures). All glass is solid. Only issue: Cannot get the rear trim over the wheel wells to sit flush with the fender. The OEM clips are difficult to work with and I didn't want to mess with them. The new owner can decide how they want to deal with the rear trim. Truck drives great, doesn't overheat over Colorado mountain passes. Tracks straight but drives like a 79 with big wheels. I wouldn't take it over 75mph. I trust driving this truck anywhere, it doesn't use oil. Call for more details: 303 956 6990. Truck is for sale locally! I reserve the right to remove listing at any time. Thank you!

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
