For sale is an uncut 1970 Ford Bronco with removable top. Mileage reads 117,000, however, I'm not sure if that is correct. I purchased this from an older gentleman in Georgia whom was a mechanic. He was meticulous with the engine which is evident in how well it drives. It starts up easily and the steering, clutch, and breaks work great. There are no fluid leaks and does not pull to the left or right. All lights and windshield wipers work. When you press the windshield wiper water knob you can hear the motor working, but I am waiting for the new solvent bottle to install. Windows open and glide smoothly including the back hatch. It has the original a.m. radio, but it does not work. I have installed a new speaker for it. Also, the horn is not working. I have owned several Bronco's and by far this is the best running one I have ever owned and it looks great, too.

Prior to purchasing it there was some body work done and I picked up where the previous owner left off. I had a paint and body company do the work for me and they replaced one striker plate on drivers side and fixed several dents. This Bronco has minimal bondo for a 43 year old truck. There was a crude weld job done on the hard top on front drip edge. It can be seen in one of the pictures. There are a few spots under the truck that have surface rust, but are not structural. Some of the undercoating applied many years ago is chipping off. A few dings and minor dents still exist, but over all looks beautiful. The truck is solid. I wanted to keep the truck as original as possible and painted it Color Code K which I believe is the original color. Someone told me the name is Carmelized Bronze. I also painted the rear wheel rack which is missing one of the hinges. Rhino guard was applied to the floor which is solid with no rust. The hard top inside and out, bumpers, and door panels were all painted and clear-coated when the truck was re-painted. There are a few rubber gaskets missing and the backseat does not have its armrest pads which are inexpensive to purchase. Anything needed for this truck can easily and affordably be purchased through one of the many Bronco catalogs.

The following have been replaced in the past 18 months:

four new radial tires
three new seat covers
battery
two rubber seals for both doors and two rubber seals above door on hard top
water solvent bottle
carburetor rebuilt
fuel filter replaced
new thermostat assembly
new brake drums and shoes all the way around
new master cylinder
new brake hardware kit
all new brake lines
all new break cylinders
new dash cover

This is a very dependable, strong running truck. It will not disappoint and is fairly priced. Super fun to drive! Has to go to make room for a new project.

This is being sold "as is". A deposit of $1,000 is due within 24 hours of auction end and remaining balance due within five working days from end of auction. Buyer responsible for shipping and truck needs to be picked up with 10 days of end of auction. Thanks for looking! You can view my Bronco on youtube at:

Ford adding second supplier for F-150 frames

Mon, Aug 10 2015

Metalsa, the company that builds steel frames for the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, is still having trouble providing enough frames to supply the two factories that build the pickup. The snafu is preventing Ford from selling as many of the country's best-selling truck as it could, and eating into profits - even though the bottom line is still breaking company records. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford has picked Michigan company Tower International as a second frame supplier and expects to have inventory up to a proper level at the beginning of Q4 of this year. Neither Ford nor Tower would confirm the development - Automotive News got comments from a source and pieced together bits of info from Tower's financial statements and local press reports. Tower currently builds body structures for several vehicles, including the F-series, and the Bellevue, Ohio factory that will build F-150 frames previously manufactured frames for the Ranger and Econoline. According to a story in the local Sandusky Register, Tower will add one production line at the end of next month to begin shipping frames in October, and another line in April 2016. Something like 138 full-time workers and 364 robots are expected to carry out the work. Tower's most recent financial statement said that capital investment will be necessary to get everything set up, but the contract will be worth $140 million in yearly revenue.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
