This 1979 F350 Custom, dual rear wheel truck was owned since new by a friend. I am the second owner. The truck had 28,472 miles when I bought it in 2003 and now has 35,774 original miles. It has the heavy duty 300 straight six motor and the granny low T18 four speed, synchronized in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The truck is geared for power but will do 65-70 easily on the highway. The power steering works perfect, power brakes work perfect, and the truck tracks straight. I put heavy duty tires on the truck and the tires are in excellent shape.
I used the truck very lightly, hauling firewood for personal use and going to the lumber store occasionally. I recently had the muffler replaced and the shop said the exhaust manifold has some thin cracks and will eventually need to be replaced. The truck runs ok but the carb needs rebuilt I believe. I recently replaced wires and spark plugs.
The truck has some dents in the hood but mostly the roof, where a tree limb fell last summer. The local junk yard has hoods for around 75 bucks. It also has some dents in the drivers door and some dings here and there. The body is solid and not rusted because it was garaged most of its life (not the last few years). I liked the truck with the patina and never painted it, but it could use a paint job. I painted the front john deere green and just never got around to painting the rest of the truck. The original color is on the doors and cab which I believe is hunter green metallic.
The inside is in nice condition except the roof was pushed down some in the middle and needs to be straightened. The truck is fine as is. The dent does not get in the way of people sitting in the truck. Note I put three pictures right after limb fell, showing cab lights still sitting on top of roof after being smashed.
The truck has a working 8000 pound winch which works, but missing winch lead (have to use screwdriver to touch contacts) and new tool box under truck.
I hate to sell this old truck but I have too many vehicles.
The reserve is low.

Detroit and Silicon Valley: When cultures collide
Fri, May 26 2017Culture is a subject that rarely, if never, gets discussed when traditional auto companies buy — or hugely invest — in Silicon Valley-based companies. The conversation surrounding the investments is usually about how the tech looks appealing and how it's an appropriate step to move the automakers toward autonomy. Culture — the way things are done, the expectations, and the approaches — is something that is overlooked only at one's peril. The potential cultural gap is almost always evident in the obligatory photos of the participants in these deals, with is essentially a photo op of auto execs with their Silicon Valley counterparts. The former — rocking jeans and no ties — look like parochial school kids playing hooky. Don't worry: The regimental outfits will be back in place once they get back in the Eastern time zone. Consider what happened back in 1998 when Daimler bought Chrysler. First of all, there was a denial in Detroit that it happened. It was positioned as a "merger of equals." Which it wasn't. In any corporate situation, when one has more than 50 percent of the business, it owns the whole thing. And the German company was in the proverbial driver's seat. People who were around Auburn Hills back then kept their heads down and their German Made Simple books at hand. Things did not go well. Daimler had had enough by 2007, when it offloaded Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management — which brought ex-Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli into the picture, which is a story onto itself. But when you think about the Daimler-Chrysler situation, realize that these were two car companies (at least the Mercedes part of the Daimler organization), so they had that in common, and the language of engineers is something of an Esperanto based on math, so there was that, too. Yet it simply didn't work. It doesn't take too many viewings of HBO's Silicon Valley to know that the business people in that part of the world are far more aggressive than people who ordinarily head and control car companies in Detroit. About 20 years ago, a book came out about the founder of Oracle titled The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison* - and the asterisk on the book jacket leads to: God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison. It would be hard to imagine a book about a Detroit executive, even a book that had the decided bias that the tome about Ellison evinces, that would be quite so searing. Sure, there are egos. But they are still perceived to be, overall, "nice" people.
Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
