1985 F350 XLT show truck

"Tonner"

I have owned this truck since 1997. I bought it from my neighbor who was the second owner. That neighbor is now my father-in-law so you could say this truck has been in my family for the past 25+ years! I used this truck to start my landscaping company and "retired" it in 2004. it was in 2005 when I decided to "fix it up" "keep it simple... a paint job, new tires, fix the exhaust, and a tune-up" LMAO! My "simple fix-up" turned into a full blown almost 2 year frame off restoration including, but not limited to: New suspension, shocks, body mounts, rims, tires, engine, clutch, exhaust, brakes, bed, interior, doors (with power windows and mirrors), hood, grille, bumpers, body stripped to metal and repainted, electrical system, stereo and back-up camera, etc etc etc. It would be a much shorter list to tell you what wasn't replaced.

A VERY long story short after I finished the truck there was NO WAY I was putting it back into the fleet for work. So what I ended up with was a garage king. Since late 2006 the only thing this truck has been used for is going to car shows and hauling home trophies. (YES, it won every show it has been entered)

A true labor of love went into building this, and it has taken me almost 3 years to finally admit I must sell it. My wife and I had our first child in Nov 2009 and I don't have the time anymore to play with my truck. I've only put maybe 15 miles on it since 2010 and that's just running up the road to keep it loose. I uncover it and start it up every few months just to hear that big block roar threw the true dual 3" pipes. Since 2006 it has been garage kept under a cover.... until Feb 2014 when the building I kept it in couldn't handle the weight of all the snow and ice this year and the roof buckled. I got the truck out before anything could happen to it. Unfortunately that was the only building I have with big enough doors to store this truck in so now it is parked at my house, in my driveway, under a cover. I am not happy about it so it really needs to find a new home ASAP.

Its like buying a brand new truck for a FRACTION of the new truck price.... PLUS this "aint no cookie cutter, off the lot, just like your neighbors truck"

In Sept 06 I had the truck appraised for insurance reasons. I tagged it as a Classic in PA and wanted to be covered for more then the KBB value of an 85 pick-up. It was appraised at $25,000. The classic plate will go to the new owner if your from PA. With classic registration you can insure it with the appraisal documentation for the $25k full coverage no deducible for $143.00 a year like I do. (I have State Farm)

There are a few things I would still like to see done to the truck but that is up to the next owner now. For example, I ordered new carpets for it but they didn't lay right so I sent them back and reused the original carpet. There is a slow drain on the electrical system and you need to keep a trickle charger on it.

I have some clean "hard to find" parts and trim that will go with the truck as back-up.

I have lots of documentation and a photo album of the restoration. please feel free to CALL or TEXT me with any and all questions 61O-5O9-6583. I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE BE SURE BEFORE YOU BID, PLEASE COME TAKE A LOOK BEFORE YOU BID, AND PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR WIFE AND BANK ACCOUNT SAY ITS ALRIGHT BEFORE YOU BID.

The truck is located in Kutztown PA 19530. that's half way between Reading and Allentown and about 45 mins north of Philly

If the reserve is not met I will offer the truck to the high bidder... if we cannot strike a deal then I will relist. My point is Bid often and stay on top!

YES it was appraised 8 years ago for $25k, YES it cost a lot more to build then $25K NO my reserve is not $25K my loss your gain.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers

Mon, 04 Aug 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
