Bought this truck about 5 years ago, a complete basket case. Wiring harness was completely, burnt, spliced, hacked, etc., throttle body and intake was completely shot, the dash guages and components were disconnected, no way of telling mileage, water temp, pressures, etc. Bought it to do a frame off restoration with my son, who was 13 at the time. Took a couple of years and about $16,000, but made a nice truck for him to drive to high school. He's graduated now and going off to college, so we are going to sell this truck and get him something smaller and more economical. We completely disassembled the truck, had the engine and transmission professionally rebuilt, since the engine bay was in such bad shape we stripped all the wiring/electronics/throttle body and went with a new painless wire harness and Holley 600 cfm carbuerator, stripped, pressure washed and re-painted the frame, installed a 6" skyjacker suspension lift, new wheels and tires, new paint, billet grill, KC off-road lights on front brush guard, new carpet and new Auto Meter mechanical guages.
Specifics and Particulars on rebuilds:
Engine 302 C.I.D.:
Transmission C6 automatic:
Suspension/Tires:
Fuel System:
This truck is a steal for the minimum asking price. There is only 15,000 miles since the rebuild, most parts on this truck are new. There are a few issues that need to be addressed: The trim around the windshield is missing, the A/C is not hooked up, reverse lights do not work, some interior trim pieces are missing, small dent in drivers door, some knicks and scratches here and there, ignition switch on steering column is loose (new summit racing steering column), small items that were set aside when my son started driving and were forgot about. This truck just needs a good cleaning and some TLC. I must apologize for my son, we have been getting alot of rain and we live on a dirt road, that somewhat explains the dirty engine bay and undercarraige. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Truck is being sold as is, where is, with no warranties expressed or implied.

Ford Focus ST, Fiesta ST buyers to get free Octane Academy driving school
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The Ford Focus ST and Fiesta ST have created plenty of excitement in the sport compact segment, and Ford is looking to make sure that owners are driving and enjoying their cars to the best of their abilities. As an added bonus for buying one of these sporty hatchbacks, Ford will provide a complimentary ST Octane Academy session to be held at the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah.
Attendees will be responsible for travel and lodging, but Ford will provide the driving school free of charge. Included in this two-day trip, ST owners will get class instruction and driving instruction in prepped Focus ST and Fiesta ST models on the track and autocross course. Some karting action will also be involved as will a tour of Ken Block's Hoonigan Racing headquarters located nearby. If this doesn't sound like enough fun, there is also an optional day of activities that includes some more track time in a Mustang GT and off-road instruction in an F-150 SVT Raptor.
Ford told us that those who have already purchased a Focus ST or Fiesta ST will still be able to attend the performance driving school, but the press release, which is posted below, makes it sound like it applies to original owners only. Ford has yet to announce its schedule for the ST Octane Academy or prices for additional activities or guests.
Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
