1966 Ford Bronco Tow Truck on 2040-cars
Percy, Illinois, United States
Super clean and solid 1966 Bronco 1/2 cab truck. Original origin was FL until a few years ago. The only option it was ordered with was the PTO driven front bumper wench which works perfectly. Originally it did not have a radio or heater but I install a heater a couple of years ago for winter driving on dry days only. I built a tow hook which has a wrench and cable but is not functional just for looks which is a real attention getter. New owner can simply unbolt the tow hook and lift out of bed if so desired. This Bronco has never been cut or patched up. Originally it was a full cab but several years ago the fiberglass cab and fiberglass hood was installed. I have installed new seats which are red and white along with a console. Also installed a new rebuilt steering column because the old one had wear and shifting into second was tricky. Wheels are original 1979 F-150 aluminum polished with new Good Year Rangler tires. When I bought the little truck a few years ago it dripped a little oil so I removed the engine and changed all gaskets along with clutch parts etc. Now it does not drip a drop of oil anywhere from front to back. The little Bronco has never been lifted or mechanically altered in anyway. It drives down the road was well as most any new car and does not wonder or sway. The 170 6 cyl actually gets really good gas mileage and is such fun to run about in. Don't be scared to bid on this Bronco fearing of buying someone's junk, it is not junk in anyway shape or form. I am happy to ask any questions to the best of my knowledge. 618-443-8055

Automakers' rush on aluminum may result in shortage
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Aluminum is the new buzzword in the automotive industry. The latest Range Rover and Range Rover Sport both take advantage of the lightweight material to shave huge amounts of body fat (only it's called "aluminium" over there). Audi and Jaguar have been using the stuff for years in their A8 and XJ, respectively, and now, aluminum is going mainstream, arriving on the 2015 Ford F-150.
While we're excited to see aluminum make an impact outside the premium market, its widespread adoption apparently won't come without some problems, notably in terms of supply. "There isn't an automotive manufacturer that makes vehicles in North America that we're not talking to," Tom Boney, of Novelis, the largest global supplier of aluminum sheetmetal, told The Detroit News.
According to Boney, Ford's use of aluminum on such a large scale has forced auto manufacturers in "every boardroom" to reconsider their plans following the F-150's unveiling, for one simple reason: there's not exactly enough aluminum to go around, at least in the short term. The auto industry presently only accounts for six percent of the aluminum sheet produced, but as the material is adopted by more and more brands, that figure is expected to swell to 25 percent within the next six years.
Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.
