At the start of this listing, less than 150 miles driven since complete rebuild of engine, carburetor and new clutch. Cooling system refurbished recently. Low miles on nearly new tires. Recent glass replacement with new seals and fairly recently replaced oak bed. Finish is "Class B" -- nice enough to show but not quite a trophy winner, which makes it very much of a daily driver. There are a few minor chips and scratches in the paint, but still very glossy and handsome. Few signs of its 60-year history as a work truck that spent its first fifty years in a single family on a farm in Ohio where it likely lived in a barn since there are no signs of salt damage and only minor rusting in a few remote places like the bottom of the battery box (battery acid induced?). Mechanically and structurally sound and runs sweetly. Lots of friction linings (0.260") left on the brakes. Six-volt electrics with optional 12-volt battery for the starter. Only the speedometer, odometer and ammeter of the factory original gauges work. An auxiliary fuel gauge provides accurate information about fuel tank level. Upholstery, rubber floor mat and interior cab lining are all in very good condition. Vehicle was purchased by me in February 2009 from a dealer who was probably the second owner.
This year was the 50th anniversary year of Ford being in the car manufacturing business. It is the first year of the "F100" designation for half-ton pickups, and the last year that Ford offered the popular flathead V8 engine. Extreme attempts were made to keep the engine and rest of the pickup very close to factory original. Exceptions would be chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome baby moon hub caps, and twin chrome exhaust tips. The over-sized exhaust tips give the vehicle a pleasant deep-throated "rumble" sound.
Working odometer reads about 67,000 miles and works, but may have rolled over meaning that it could have 100,000 more miles than is indicated, though unlikely based on the nice condition of the chassis, sheet metal, mechanics, etc.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings
Mon, 29 Sep 2014While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
