1975 FORD 1/2 TON 4X4 RANGER.

There are a lot of these old fords out there for sale, but the majority of them are beat, rusty, abused or all of the above. I've owned many and look for them all the time and rarely see them for sale this clean. It is especially to find a 4x4 in this solid. There are more clean 2wd's out there but the 4x4's were generally used hard as they were intended to be. The truck is mostly original, solid, and straigh. It runs great and has the V8 with automatic transmission. This was an old grandpa truck and still has the original hubcaps. This is a great ford to drive as is but a perfect candidate for an easy restoration.

I HAVE MANY MORE PICS AND A VIDEO OF THE TRUCK IN A LINK I CAN SEND YOU. EBAY HAS CHANGED IT'S POLICIES AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THE LINK IN THE LISTING NOW.

MECHANICAL

The truck runs great. The motor is most likely the original engine. It has the 360 V8. It does not smoke at all. No major leaks but has the usual seepage as most this old do. No noticeable dripping leaks. Runs smooth and cool. No water in the oil or anything like that. Oil pressure drops when warm but is still in the normal operating range. I'm sure the motor has many miles left to go, but it isn't new. It has no knocks or ticks. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to change all the fluids and do plugs/wires/cap/rotor and the other usual tuneup stuff. I don't know that it needs any of those things, but I don't know the last time they were done. Choke needs adjusted a bit but works. Starts up every time. Automatic transmission works fine. This ford has the full time 4x4. It works as it should. I know they are somewhat easy to convert to part time. I always liked them because they are similar to all wheel drive and you don't have to worry about swapping ends when it's slick. This has powersteering and brakes. No air. The ford drives good and has BRAND new tires. Less than 20 miles on them. Headlights, heater, wipers, turnsignals, etc. still work. This has a cd player and I never tried it but the lights work so it may work. Gearing is most likely 3:50 ratio judging by how it goes down the road. I've had probably 20 or more old fords like this and I'm sure that is probably the ratio or close to that. Speedometer works and all other gauges. Exhaust is newer. Only three hubcaps are included.
That's all that it came with.

BODY

The body is very straight and has no rust. No bondo. This pickup was originally green. It was professionally painted in 1977. There is no sign of filler at all and it's obvious that the paint job is almost as old as the pickup. The interior, jams, under hood, pretty much everything was repainted red. Interior was green and painted black at the time with vinyl paint. It's wearing through after 37 years. The inside of the box is not dented and looks to have been used lightly. Box, tailgage, cab, floors, cab mounts, hood, roof, firewall, fenders, inner fenders, doors, frame etc. etc. are in nice shape. Pictures in the link show the underside of the cab. Nothing that may look like rust, is rust. It is just dirt or undercoating peeling off. This truck is as dry as you'll find.

INTERIOR

The interior is in usable condition but has the usual wear of an unrestored pickup this old. The seat has been recovered at some point. Floormat, headliner, dash, and doorpanels are usable. Dash is uncut with exception of cd player being put in.

OVERALL

This truck is in good shape and I know they don't come along very often this solid and original. The f100's are really getting harder to find than highboys. I like highboys also, but they have lower gearing and ride rougher. I would cruise this truck as-is. It is also is a a great candidate for an original restoration.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Ford could make as much as $13k profit for every F-150

Thu, Apr 30 2015

The Ford F-Series is a perennial member of the US bestseller list with the title in its brawny grasp for over 30 years, and the truck ranks as the top-selling model over $50,000 in the country. It shouldn't come as a shock then that the model is a major buttress of Ford's bottom line. Have you ever wondered just how vital the trucks are to the Blue Oval's health, though? Some math based on recent figures suggests they might be even more important than you think. Automotive News recently did the calculation and came up with that each F-150 sold contributed about $13,333 to the company's profits. That number was based on a statement from Ford CFO Bob Shanks that the automaker could have made another $1 billion in North America for the first quarter with a repeat of last year's sales of the F-150 and Edge, with 60,000 more trucks and 15,000 additional crossovers. If those 75,000 missing vehicles cost the company $1 billion, then they averaged $13,333 each. Also, the F-150 makes up 80 percent of the lost sales, so you might even conclude that each pickup brings even more money into Ford. Automotive News also extrapolates further. Based on a forecast of 800,000 F-Series sales this year, that's about $10.7 billion going into Ford's coffers. Obviously, these figures are far from exact since they are based on a single statement from the automaker's CFO. Autoblog reached out to Ford to see if the numbers were accurate, but the Blue Oval wouldn't comment on vehicle profitability. However, AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan suggests these figures could be on the right track, if a bit high. "The rough guess has been $10,000. Obviously that is a little different for a $60k truck vs a regular cab 4x2 work truck, but $10,000 is the ball park that is used," he said to Autoblog. If you ever wonder why Ford might be loathe to bring the smaller Ranger back to the US when it's available elsewhere, these huge profits are likely part of the answer. The Blue Oval has little reason to cut into the sales of a model that makes the brand billions. Related Video:

Ford shareholders happy as the Blue Oval stays in the black

Fri, May 15 2015

Ford posted slightly falling global sales and revenue in its first-quarter financial announcement, but pre-tax profits and operating margins were up. Apparently, that was plenty to keep shareholders happy, though. The Blue Oval's recent investor meeting in Delaware lasted less than an hour, and a vote on the approval of the board passed by over 93 percent. Ford CEO Mark Fields continued to predict a strong year financially and increasing profits, according to the Detroit Free Press. The growth comes thanks in large part to the company's 24 global vehicle launches last year and 15 more this year. The likelihood of significant profits from the strong-selling 2015 F-150 should be especially lucrative, too. In the Q1 announcement, the Blue Oval forecast pre-tax profits between $8.5 billion and $9.5 billion for 2015. During the meeting, Fields said that the next 15 years of changes in the industry represent the "ultimate opportunity as a company. As big as when Henry Ford put the world on wheels more than 100 years ago," according to the Free Press. Investments like the expanded technology center in Silicon Valley should push that work along.
