1968 Ford F 350 Crew Cab on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
|
Stuff i know. It's a 1968 Ford F350 Crew Cab Long bed. Really clean truck has extra heavy duty load helper suspension in back. Previously had a monster in bed and over the cab camper that the previous owner used while prospecting a few weeks a year. the milage shows as 11XXX its probably not correct but the previous owner had several vehicles and only used this one for camping/prospecting so its possible. Previous owner removed camper before sale. Its not available or part of this sale. He added two extra saddle mount tanks in addition to the stock behind the seat tank so he could really get deep back country. I have no idea what the total capacity is. they can be switched manually by a small switch on the floor between the drivers seat and the door. This truck is a California truck, floors and frame are solid with surface rust only it has had a cheapo repaint to the stock white sometime in its past and some areas are thinning and a few bubbles are present. Only one serious dent on drivers side bed and a few in the grill tailgate is in the bed in these pictures it is the original matching tailgate. The described dent will be shown in pics. The truck has the original 360 Fe and 4 speed the current motor is Frozen solid. If this auction doesn't meet the reserve I will basically pull it apart repaint and go nuts with the LMC catalog after I rebuild the 360 Known issues The 360 is frozen truck is not running. Will need engine rebuilt or replaced. the 360 is an Fe style motor so 352/360/390/428 will all drop right in and LMC sells the kits to allow a 460 or 289/351 swaps as well. there is one sizable dent see pics The only things I can see that are missing is the radio, and a few of the interior window handles knobs are missing the crank is there but the knob part is missing on a couple of the doors. Also the previous owner for some reason put the newer style chrome wheels on the front only. I am currently hunting down a set of original steel wheels as I prefer them. if I can find a set of original wheels before auction ends Iw ill include them. The chrome is showing some pitting I have done my best to describe the item to the best of my ability I am not a professional if you have any questions please ask if you would like to inspect the vehicle please contact me to make arrangements I reserve the right to stop the auction if the vehicle sells locally first. The truck is free and clear in my name ready to go. No warranty No shipping Vehicle will not leave until funds are cleared. On Jun-29-14 at 21:14:47 PDT, seller added the following information: #### ADDED INFO### I HAVE ADDED PICS OF THE CAB MOUNTS AND THE FLOORS AND THE DRIP RAILS DUE TO A LOT OF EMAILS ASKING FOR THE INFO. I HAVE ALSO PAID THIS TRUCK CURRENT IN CA DMV THERE IS NO BACK FEES OR WAITING ON THE TITLE ITS ALL READY TO GO. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WERE SOME BACK FEES DUE TO PREV OWNER NEVER FILING NON OPP. I AM SURE YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT CA/DMV IS LIKE WHEN YOU DONT FOLLOW THIER RULES THAT IS WHY I HAVE A RESERVE SET. AS I MENTIONED IN THE ADD I PICKED THIS TRUCK UP JUST A WEEK OR SO AGO WITH THE INTENTION OF BUILDING A FAMILY CRUISER THATS WHY IT LOOKS SO DIRTY AND THERE IS STILL MOSS IN THE DRIP RAILS IN TAKING THESE PICS I FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND PBACK ARE NEAR PERFECT BUT THE PASSANGER SIDE DRIP RAIL HAS SOME DISCOLORATION. YOU CAN SEE THIS IN THE PICS IT LOOKS LIKE THE MOSS GREW UNDER THE PAINT. ALSO THE PREV OWNER HAD A HUGE CAMPER THAT THE SLEEPER PORTION WENT ALL THE WAY OVER THE CAB AND THEN IT WAS PARKED UP NEXT TO HIS HOUSE SO I AM THINKING THE MOSS JUST GREW BETTER IN THAT SHADE. ON TAPPING AND LOOKING I FOUND NO RUST THROUGH AND ON THE INSIDE ROOF SHOWS NO DISCOLORATION INSIDE. WE WHERE AT A SHOW AND THE WIFE SAW A WAGON SHE HAS TO HAVE SO I AM SELLING THIS FOR THAT. ITS REALLY THE CLEANEST CREW I HAVE EVER HAD I JUST DONT HAVE THE ROOM FOR A WAGON AND THIS TO OR ID JUST KEEP IT. |

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Shelby GT500 laps N"urburgring in under 7:40?
Wed, 30 Oct 2013A couple of weeks ago we brought you footage and official times of the new Chevy Camaro Z/28 lapping the Nürburgring. With a 7:37.47 lap time, the Z/28 emerged as the fastest muscle car ever to lap the circuit. But what was missing from that picture was how fast the king of all Mustangs, the Shelby GT500, could manage to lap the Nordschleife.
Ford never released any information or footage of the GT500 on the Nürburgring that we were aware of - that is, until the guys at SVTPerformance.com put in a request for Mustang videos. Among the clips they received was never-seen, in-car footage of the Shelby GT500 lapping the circuit. And boy did it hustle.
Although not quite official, the video seems to show the GT500 lapped the venerated German track in a touch under 7:40. That would make it a tick or two faster than the Camaro ZL1 - but what of the Z/28? By Chevy's quoted time, the Z/28 is still faster than the GT500, but SVTPerformance suggests GM may have fudged the numbers a bit and scrubbed half a second or so off their lap time.
Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
