Up for sale is this 1978 Ford F-250 pickup with a regular cab & 8' long fleetside bed. I have owned this truck since 2003 and I have kept up on the maintenance, this is a good running & driving work truck which I would not hesitate to drive cross-country in if necessary (her name is "Blondie"). I have put between 1000-2000 miles a year on it since I have owned it. Stated mileage is whats on the odometer: I have no way of knowing how accurate this is but the speedo has always been operational as long as I have owned it. This truck has a 4-spd standard transmission on the floor (it was originally an automatic) and a strong running 351M 8-cyl gas engine. This originally had factory AC but all that has been removed. It has two fuel tanks but only the front tank is hooked up, the back tank has been disconnected for as long as I have owned it (and the selector switch went with all the AC stuff when it was removed). Tires (LT235/85R16) have a lot of treadwear, more so on the front as I swapped out the backs for snow tires(not included) each winter. Rims are white painted steel cookie-cutter types. This has a 2" hitch ball on the rear bumper and is wired with a 7-pole electrical connector I hooked up for towing a small camp trailer. The passenger side on the bed has a factory in-bed storage compartment. Also there is a plastic side tool box installed in the bed. The back window has shaded window film installed. The entire exhaust system was replaced in 2005 (manifolds, single Thrush straight tube muffler, front & tail pipe.) I replaced the clutch, pressure plate & throw-out bearing in 2006. I have replaced the intake manifold gasket, the carburetor (this is a rebuilt 2-bbl carb with manual choke from a 1969 F-250), the brake shoes & pads, heater core, driver's side window regulator, sunvisors (black vinyl), Door panels (black plastic aftermarket), rear axle seal, differential seal, ignition coil, battery, tune-up parts (plugs, cap, rotor, wires), radiator hoses, belts and of course wipers, oil & filters as needed. The air filter is a std. 14" round filter in a chrome Edelbrock frame. Last year I replaced the tie rods, steering linkage links & link sleeve, and front axle bumpers as well as all four shocks. So not only have I kept it maintained, but I have restored some things here and there over the past 10 years whenever the mood hit to spend some money on her. This truck has quite a few cosmetic problems which I will now mention: Lots of small dings and scratches especially on the truck bed, but there is an area on the hinge side of the drivers door that is wrinkled (the bottom hinge failed and was eventually replaced but the damage was done) and the tailgate has a dent on top from the truck rolling backwards and striking a pole. The windshield has a crack on the drivers side coming up from the bottom about 12" and a chip above that which is starting to spread. The bottom seat vinyl is cracked and tore up pretty good & I have a cloth seat cover over it (the seat back is from a different seat and is in great condition). The rubber floor mat is cracked up from heat because there is no insulation on the floor (so it's a little louder inside than it should be). The vinyl dash cap is missing so the dash is just bare brown painted steel. This truck has personalized Veteran's plates which will not be included, they have sentimental value and are transferable to my other vehicles. If you are taking this out of state this won't matter as you'll need new plates anyway. Oregon buyers should figure new plates into the cost before bidding. If you plan on driving this away you will just need to pick up a temporary/ 30-day tag for the window from the DMV. I've taken a variety of pictures so please look them over closely. Feel free to ask questions, I will respond as soon as I can.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
