I FOUND THIS TRUCK ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO...Barn find. STORED ABOUT 17 YEARS...The truck had been modified back in the 1970's. I just wanted to restore what was there.....Here is what I've done so far.....
- Engine is about a 1971 302. I cleaned the fuel tank, put on a new fuel pump, rebuilt the carburator, new wires, new plugs, new electronic ignition, new 1 wire alternator, new starter, rewired everything and got it running. It runs good
- Transmisson is a FMX 3-speed automatic. Changed filter & fluid. It works and shifts good, but park does not work. I added a neutral safety switch from Dakota Digital
- Rear End is a Dana 41. I put in all new Yoke, bearings and seals. Gears are 3:73. I didn't replace them. They seem pretty good.
- I welded up all the visible rust. The body ended up fairly straight. Paint is Hot Rod Black Urethane and Red Oxide primer with a Urethane clear coat to protect the original petina on the doors and cab
- All new white oak wood floor in box with stainless steel hardware and Urethane finish
- Interior - Custom all steel dash with dakota digital guages and new stereo. Mustang steering wheel. Mustang bucket seats recovered. New Carpet. Painted flames on dash & diamond plate on door panels. Rest is hot rod black. Seat belts are vintage military lap belts
- All new brakes and brake hardware. New dual master cylinder mounted on firewall
- Original straight axle & manual steering with all new tie rod ends
- All new shocks
- I replaced the Tires with some good used ones. The wheels were on there, so I stripped, refinished & clearcoated them.
- Guages are used Dakota Digital. They all seem to work except for the gas guage. I put a new float in the gas tank, but still needs something. I added a Dak Dig neutral safety. Now it shows the gears on the dash also. Turn signals & safety flashers also work.
- Electrical...I rewired everything and put new light bulbs and sockets in. Everything is 12 volts, New battery.
- Glass is all new
- Rubber weatherstrip is all new
- Window fuzzies are all new. Windows roll up and down nice
- There is a heater in the cab, but it isn't hooked up. That will need some attention
- Clear South Dakota Title. Truck has historical plates. You will need your own plates
- Buyer is responsible for all transportation costs. I will assist in loading on your truck any way I can
- Terms are CASH. Nothing Less. I would like something down and the balance when you pick up the truck. I will not let the truck go without full payment. There are no warranties. once the truck is paid for it's yours, so make sure before you buy. I will represent it as honestly as I can, but the buyer is ultimately responsible. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOUR CONCERNS ARE SATISFIED.
IT NEEDS: to have park repaired. Get gas guage working. Heater refurbished. Back bumper if you want one. Could use a New Exhaust system
I just restored what was done in the '70's so some of the original work is kind of crude. The motor mounts and trans mounts are home-made, but they work. The original frame has some welding on it, but it's solid. I would call it a survivor hot rod truck. RUNS & DRIVE. It goes down the road pretty darn good. . Engine has good power and trans is a good shifter. Brakes & steering are manual, but work like they did back in the day.
Please express any questions or concerns.

2016 Ford Focus RS leaked ahead of official debut
Tue, Feb 3 2015We won't officially see the new Ford Focus RS until the Blue Oval shows it to the world at an event on Tuesday, but here it is ahead of time, courtesy of the folks at Evo. As you can see, this is one hot little hatch, and if Evo's story is to be believed, those aggressive looks will be backed up with some pretty serious performance. Power is said to come from Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine, though the magazine's estimate of 250 horsepower seems awfully conservative to us (considering that's less than the current Focus ST). If earlier reports are to be believed, we think the RS will come packing more like 300 hp, if not more. For the first time, the Focus RS will use all-wheel drive with brake-operated torque-vectoring, and Evo says that up to 70 percent of the engine's power can be sent to the rear wheels. Hitting 60 miles per hour will reportedly take less than five seconds. Otherwise, it's business as usual, with a mean-looking exterior complete with the necessary aero bits (notice that wing!), and inside, we can see a beefy set of Recaro chairs. That's really all we know for now, but stay tuned for more when the Focus RS makes its official debut in the not-too-distant future. Related Video:
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
Junkyard Gem: 1973 Mercury Marquis Brougham 4-Door Pillared Hardtop
Tue, Nov 7 2023Ford's Mercury Division debuted the Marquis in the 1967 model year, as a sporty coupe based on a stretched Ford LTD chassis. When the LTD got an update for 1969, so did the Marquis, and production of that generation of the top-of-the-line Mercury continued through 1978 (the Grand Marquis hit streets the following year). The 1969-1978 Marquis was a big, imposing land yacht, and the Brougham version came absolutely loaded with affordable luxury. Today's Junkyard Gem is a Marquis Brougham from the first year of the Malaise Era, found in a Phoenix self-service car graveyard recently. This car appears to have spent decades sitting outdoors in one of the harshest climates in the country, and so it's in rough shape. The vinyl top received the full thermonuclear treatment and is mostly obliterated by now. The interior got thoroughly cooked as well. Still, its original opulence shines through if you use some imagination. What hurts is that this car was packed with most of the good options, including the mighty 460-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor. The price for the 460 was just $76 in this car, or around $548 in today's money. The base engine was a 429 (7.0-liter). Power numbers were way down for 1973 when compared to a couple of years earlier, partly as the result of tightening emissions standards but mostly due to the switch from gross to net power ratings that began midway during 1971 and was completed by the end of 1972. This engine was rated at 202 horsepower and 330 pound-feet. The only transmission available was a three-speed automatic. We can assume that the original buyer of this car and its single-digit fuel economy had a rough time when the OPEC oil embargo hit in the fall of 1973. Believe it or not, air conditioning was not standard equipment on the '73 Marquis Brougham (you had to move up to a Lincoln for that). This one even has the automatic temperature control feature, adding a total of $508 to the cost of this car (about $3,661 in 2023 dollars). That AM/FM/8-track radio—or, in fact, any radio—was an extra-cost option as well, with a price tag of $363 ($2,616 after inflation). The MSRP for the 1973 Marquis Brougham sedan (known as a "pillared hardtop" thanks to the frameless window glass) was $5,072, which comes to $36,555 in today's dollars. Obviously, its out-the-door cost would have been much higher with all the options.
