1965 F-100
Up for sale is my 65 Ford F100. It had a complete frame off restoration two years ago. The truck turned out absolutely great. Every nut, bolt, hose, bushing, etc. has been restored or replaced new. The engine bay looks just as good as the rest of the truck. The interior is beautiful with new door panels, sun visors, arm rests, carpet, seat cover etc. Some details are listed below:
Engine:
- Factory 352 FE Big Block
- Heads were machined
- New timing set
- New oil pump
- All gaskets replaced
Transmission:
- Replaced with a 4 speed manual trans out of an early 80's F-150
- 3rd gear is direct. 4th is overdrive
Rear end:
- Factory 9"
- I think it has 3.54 gears
Body:
- High quality restoration and paint job.
- Roll pan on rear end rather than bumper.
- Has a 1966 grill installed. I have a 1965 available.
- Bottom of truck and under hood areas are just as nice and detailed as the rest of the body.
- Two small chips on tailgate/bedrail.
The truck looks great, drives nice, and is a lot of fun to cruise around in. It could still use a few things that I haven't got to yet. Still needs wheels (unless you're into the black steelie look). Fuel sender in tank needs to be replaced. Temp sender on motor needs to be replaced. Carb could use a little tuning... seems to run rich. Nothing serious as I've driven it for two summers this way. Call or email with any other questions on it or let me know if you want any other pictures. You won't be disappointed. Jake 763-370-8998

How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
