Located in Moab, UT

NO RESERVE!  HIGHEST BID GETS THE TRUCK!

This is a factory 1979 F350 regular cab truck with a all steel flatbed.  The truck retains it's factory drive train including the very desirable High Pinion Dana 60 front axle (this axle alone is worth $1000-1500).  It has 410 gears with a locker in the rear.  The truck has the factory manual 4 speed transmission and NP205 transfercase.  It just passed Utah's state safety inspection a couple of weeks ago and is current on it's registration.  Clear and clean title in hand with utah license plates and registration.

This drivetrain set up is very desirable.  If you add lift springs to this truck you can run BIG tires reliably on the stock drivetrain without further modification. 

The GOOD: Truck starts every time and can be driven anywhere.  4WD works great.  Has engine block heater for cold weather.  Tires and not new, but not needing replaced either.  Set up for bumper or gooseneck towing.  No visible rust showing.  Dual fuel tanks are functional.

The BAD: Body has dents, dings and needs TLC.  Interior is typical for a 1979 Ford - Dash cover is cracked from the sun, bench seat is saggy in the drivers position, speedometer works on and off, e-brake bracket needs to be reattached (but e-brake is otherwise functional), heater doesn't work, and carpet was replaced by some household shag carpet.  Front tank could use a filler hose replacement.  Brakes pull slightly to the left when applied.  Transmission doesn't down shift into 3rd without priming it by trying to put it into 2nd (but it has been that way for a long long time).  Drivers door shuts funny and could use a new hinge, but still latches and opens fine.  The rear passenger mudflap flew off on the highway after I took the pictures.  I am sure there is something I might be forgetting, but like I said - it just passed the Utah state safety inspection and is a registered driver.

THE BOTTOM LINE:  If you are interested in this truck, you likely know that it is a rare truck with a very desirable drivetrain.  It runs great, will go anywhere, and is ready to tackle any job you throw at it.

I wanted to keep this truck around because it is a great work truck, but I have to sell to fund another project I am working on.  If you have questions feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Located in beautiful Moab, UT.  Local pickup or buyer arranged shipping only.  Cashier's check/money order/personal check if shipping or cash in person only.   Buy must wait for personal checks to clear before the vehicle will be released.

Plan a trip for Easter Jeep Safari in Moab to pick this truck up!

Feel free to Call or Text me at (916) 220-3857.  I don't respond to calls Friday night to Saturday night sundown.

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
