Survivor One Family Owned truck

No rust very solid

This is the story I got on this awesome rare super cab one owner truck

It was bought brand new in 1974. Same old man owned it all the way up until 2012 when he got sick and was having health problems. At that point due to insurance purposes the truck was removed from his name and put in another family members name. So to me its still a one owner since it stayed in the same family. I found the truck parked in an old garage and it had been sitting there for the last four years untouched. The gas in the tank was so dead I was suprised it would even crank. The previous owner has done some work on it and I have done some work as well. I am going to do my best to describe the truck as accurate as possible. This is a rare truck that is a super cab and has factory a/c, power steering, power brakes, and is a solid rust free body. I havent seen a bit of rust anywhere. It still needs some work but you will not find a better truck to start with anywhere than this one for the money. Here is a list of parts I can see new that the previous owner done to the truck

New radiator

New starter

New solonoid

New Battery

I have added the following parts

New plugs

New wires

New fuel filter on the carb

Cleaned the carb with spray carb cleaner

Fresh gas

The truck will fire and run but it still has a terrible miss and is making a pecking noise on the top end. Not sure if its lifters or rockers or what. I ran the firing order and it is all right as far as I can tell. The truck is still missing bad. So I would recommend hauling or towing it to your home. The dead gas could still be an issue not sure. If I had to guess I would say it would be best to rebuild the engine. I also noticed the heater core is leaking so I unhooked the heater hoses and hooked them together to let them recirculate. I also noticed the master cylinder is leaking so it will need a new one of those. I priced a new booster and master at Autozone for $99. The body is almost flawless. The previous owner said the truck was repainted about 10 years ago. The paint doesnt look bad and with a good buff job would probaly clean up and look good. The passenger front fender has a dent from the old man hitting something before he stopped driving it the family member was not sure what he bumped with it. Looks like you could pop most of it out with a little work. The rear part of the bed on the passenger side also has a bump from the old man and it knocked off the lower trim piece. Other than those two areas there is a small dent in the roof that would be easy to pop out. Those are the only places I have seen. I crawled all under the truck and its as solid as it was the day it rolled off the showroom floor. I have took pictures from all angles of the truck for everyone to see. The interior is almost perfect. The rear seat looks as if no one as ever been back there. The headliner is nice and the front seat has a cover on it. I noticed one little area under the cover on the drivers side from people getting in and out other than that the front seat appears in great shape. The truck has a rubber mat down on the floor with the original rubber floor mat. The owners manual and all books are also included. This truck is sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. Again this is a solid one owner truck and would make a great restoration project for someone. Like I said the engine needs some attention. I am not a motor man but just what I see and think it would be best to rebuild it or change to another engine. The blower motor for the heat and air is not working it may be a fuse but I have not checked it. Everything else appears to be working all the gauge lights headlights tailights interior light horn etc all works. If you have any questions or would like to see more pictures just email or call or text. I will be glad to send them to you. Thanks and good luck bidding. 828-217-2546

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

Ford Australia debuts Ranger-based Everest SUV concept

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Ford has been in hot water in Australia ever since it announced plans to end local production of the Falcon and Territory SUV. Besides canceling a model that is to Oz what the Mustang is to America, the end of production means more than a few folks will be out of work.
Keen to prove that it has a plan for the market, Ford has unveiled the Aussie-penned Everest Concept, a rough-and-tumble, seven-seat SUV. While not a direct replacement for the aging Territory (that role will eventually be filled by either the Edge or Flex, according to Car Advice) it's an indication from Ford's brass that the Blue Oval is still committed to Australia.
To prove that fact, Alan Mullaly, Mark Fields, Jim Farley and regional execs descended on Sydney for the debut of the new concept. Ford's Australian president and CEO, Bob Graziano, said of the Everest, "Our customers, our employees and Australia can be assured that we're connected to the nation and committed to our customers through terrific products with class-leading technologies."

Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
