This terrific long-bed is my daily driver. My only driver.

I found this truck in April this year and it's titled in my name as a clear NC title.

This Ford has the original 240 ci engine with 1bbl carb and non-thermactor distributor. Manual steering, manual brakes, manual everything. All lights, signals, wipers and heater/fan work 100%. the original owner(s?) never installed seat belts - still wearing the rubber floor plugs when I bought it. New Beams belts with correct Ford buckle were installed May 2014 to take my kids safely to school and back.

It has a new clutch (Sept 2014), new master cylinder and front cylinders (May 2014), new whitewall radials (May 2014) and I just found some very rare polished poverty hubcaps that are correct only for the deluxe 1967 - 1969 models.

The ivory headliner and visors are original and in very nice condition, as is the black rubber floor mat I've covered with a carpet to protect it. Seating is original, but lower bench cover is pretty worn out, hence the saddle cover. New rear window seal, new complete exhaust, new windshield and seal, etc., etc.

Essentially this is an unrestored, rust-free NC truck, built in the Norfolk, Virginia plant. It has the radio delete, all gauges work perfectly (new temp sender as well) and truck drives, shifts, steers and handles very well. No issues. Top speed with this 3-speed and gearing is honestly about 60-65 mph.

Repainted less than four years ago in the original "L" code, "Holly Green". At some point, pine strips were installed but they're a bit warped over time. I have 1" neoprene rubber strip to install if one wishes. Bed and tailgate are overall in excellent, lightly used condition.

Also included is a brand new power brake set-up from GPS Automotive out of Buffalo, NY, custom built for the 6 cyl F-100 with drum brakes. It has the larger 8" booster for even better power. It remains wrapped up, just haven't installed it yet if I ever get tired of the pedal effort currently required...

OEM glove box manual and reprint of all three service manual volumes included.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
