You are bidding on an original paint 1975 Ford F100 Ranger XLT. I purchased this in Feb. 2011 with the intention of restoring it back to original. I drove it daily for a little over a year and then just used it when I needed to haul parts. Due to the present workload of customer cars I have decided to sell several vehicles that I bought to restore and this is one of them. It is an excellent basis for a full restoration or you can fix a number of small items that I will describe and drive it as a survivor. I do not see any evidence of collision and that paint is consistent over the truck which leads me to believe it has never had any portion repainted. The white portion of the paint is dull but will buff up a little - but remember it is 38 years old. The yellow portion is a little better and does buff out pretty well. It has a nice patina and makes it fun to drive on cruises, etc. The truck does need several things to bring it up to a nice standard. I will try to list them all. Since I purchased the truck I have replaced the following: Carburetor, distributor, fuel pump, oil pressure light switch, headlight dimmer switch, battery, EGR valve, spark plugs, spark plug wires, master cylinder, wheels and tires. Many of the parts were still functioning fine, but driving the truck daily, I wanted to head off any problems. I have also purchased several parts that I have not yet installed. When I bought the truck, the previous owner had wired a toggle switch into the heater fan because the in-dash fan had gone bad. I purchased a new switch, but have not taken the time to install it yet. I would suggest doing this soon. The toggle switch is not rated for the current drawn by the fan and it and the wires get hot after a few minutes. I have a new interior light and lens that I will send with the truck. The truck has a 390 V8. It was originally equipped with a 360, but was told by the previous owner that when that engine wore out they installed a Jasper rebuilt 390 at somewhere around 110,000 miles. Supposedly at the same time the transmission was rebuilt, but I doubt it was rebuilt or I would have some concern about the rebuild. The truck does not always shift correctly and acts like there is a vacuum leak in the modulator. I think the torque converter may be dragging. The front seal is also leaking. Despite the transmission issues I would not hesitate to drive the truck daily again. I would suggest the new owner go through the transmission, especially checking for vacuum leaks and replacing the front seal and torque converter. Other issues, the air conditioning is probably low on freon, but with the bad fan switch I have not tried it. I prefer the windows down anyway. One or both rear wheel cylinders is leaking. The fuel gauge is not working at the moment, it quit a couple of weeks ago. I think it might be a loose wire or bad ground. There is a minor water leak around the windshield. I was going to replace the gasket when I repainted the truck, but that hasn't happened yet. The seat needs recovering, it has evidently been recovered once as the upholstery is not original. The driver side sunvisor is missing part of the rod that clips into place at the center of the roof, so that end just dangles around, but it does stay in place. The truck has very little rust. You can see where it is starting to appear around the rear wheel openings. There is surface rust in the bed, but no rust through. There is some rust inside the driver's side of the hood. It hasn't worked it's way through the outside yet. There is a small dent in the right front fender where the previous owner misjudged a fence post while backing a boat. Overall, for a 38 year old truck, it is in very good condition. As I indicated, it would make an excellent basis for a full restoration. Someone who has the mechanical ability could fix all of the issues with the truck relatively quickly and without a great deal of expense. They are only original once and trucks like this are getting hard to find. This truck is being offered for local pick up only. I will not ship. Also a $500 deposit is required within 48 hours of the auction end. I also have this truck for sale locally and reserve the right to end the auction early.

Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
Chevy, GMC and Ram dealers are worried they'll run out of new pickups
Wed, May 6 2020One of the unexpected side effects of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is a shortage of pickups at Chevrolet, GMC and Ram dealers. Supplies are running out, and the factories that build these trucks remain closed. Stores across the nation began increasing incentives in March, when the first stay-at-home orders were issued, in a bid to continue luring buyers into showrooms. They also launched online sales channels, or expanded their existing digital business. Sales nonetheless plummeted in April 2020, but in-demand vehicles, like the Ram 1500 and the Chevrolet Silverado, are still selling relatively well thanks in part to the aforementioned incentives. Pickups outsold sedans for the first time in April 2020, according to The Detroit News, by 17,000 units. The problem is that General Motors, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), and Ford temporarily closed their factories in March. "The pipeline is very dry," said Mike Maroone, the CEO of a large dealership group named Maroone USA, in an interview with Automotive News. He told the publication his Chevrolet stores are sitting on a 30-day supply of the Silverado, which is one of America's best-selling vehicles. "That is a problem for us," he concluded. Coronavirus-related lockdowns and factory closures compound problems already faced by dealerships who represent General Motors-owned brands. They entered 2020 with a thinner inventory than a year earlier due to the 40-day United Auto Workers (UAW) strike that paralyzed the company late in 2019, and the 0%, 84-month offers announced in March have sapped supply. Ram wasn't affected by a strike, but it has relied heavily on generous incentives to move trucks off lots. Ford, on the other hand, limited incentives to 2019 models. Inventory levels differ greatly from region to region. The national average for the Silverado stood at an 82-day supply in March 2020, down from 120 in March 2019. Ram stores had a 114-day supply of the 1500 (compared to 134 a year earlier), while Ford bucked that trend with a 111-day supply versus 84 in 2019. Don't panic if you're in the market for a truck; we're not facing a complete drought. Automotive News added that America's light-duty pickup inventory could fall to 400,000 units by the end of May, and drop further to 260,000 units in June. For context, there were about 700,000 light-duty trucks in stock in May and June of 2019. That's unquestionably a sharp drop, but there will still be over a quarter of a million trucks to choose from.
