Thanks for looking at my 71 short bed. It has a DJM dream beam and shackle 2-4 lowered suspension, a freshly re-ringed, (rings, rod bearings, main bearings all standard) .282/.292 duration and .486/.512 lift cam and lifter kit std bore 429 from a 70 Torino and c6 . DOVE head castings. I just finished the engine and have driven it 75-100 miles. It does blow oil from either the dipstick or breather - haven't figured out which yet, rings still not set in. 9 inch rear. Dont know what gear ratio. I believe 4:10's. Shifts good, starts and runs great - it has a new B & M Truck mega shifter. It needs a rear seal on the transmission. It has new tires and rims. Brakes work and heater works. Headlights, tailights, turn signals all work. Dash gauges are out of larger Ford, I believe an F550, and are not hooked up except for fuel level. The dash pad has cracks. I installed a set of gauges on top of the dash to moniter water temp and oil pressure. I installed a new sliding rear window. The windshield has cracks on passenger side - all other glass is fine and all weatherstrip is good. It has a new aluminum radiator. The exhaust is hooked up for sound control, but not complete, I have new Magnaflow mufflers and all tubing is new, just needs a professional exhaust bent to be perfect. It could use a final tune up as far as carburator and timing, but I did install new plugs, wires, distributor, carb, and intake...I just dont have the time to finish, new projects have taken priority.The only rust on truck is the bed - not rotted, just holes. I did rino line the bed and put a bed mat down, so it looks good. I stripped the body down to bare and then applied an epoxy primer. It's not a bad truck, I would say about 80 percent done, you could drive it daily. She's got dings and dents but lots of character. Please email me with any questions. No personal checks, USA sales only, paypal or certified bank checks ok.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Power Stroke
Tue, 29 Jul 2014What weighs 30,000 pounds? Big Ben's Westminster bell. A navy ship anchor. Or as we found out during our first drive program for the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, seven pallets of cinder blocks loaded onto a dual-axle gooseneck trailer. The test was part of a raft of towing demonstrations that showcased the new Super Duty's impressive tug capacity, which maxes out at 32,100 pounds. That's 1,200 more than its nearest rival, the Ram 3500, when equipped with its upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8. Such is the heavy-duty pickup truck business, a diesel-fueled game of one-upmanship with only three players: Ford, Chevrolet/GMC and Ram. And in this game, the one with the most torque wins.
Until 2014, Ford was the one to beat, with its 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel bringing 400 hp and a massive 800 lb-ft of torque to the table. Then last year, Ram did exactly that, serving Ford with a beefed-up Cummins turbodiesel inline-six in its freshened Ram Heavy Duty truck line with 385 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to tow up to 30,000 pounds. But Ford claims it had designed its engine to be relatively easy to upgrade when the time called for it, so for 2015, Ford bolted a larger turbo to the Power Stroke, bringing output to an insane 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of twist, all without reducing fuel efficiency. Maximum tow capacity rises from 24,700 lbs to an incredible 31,200 lbs for the F-450 dually.
As for GM's HDs? They lag behind the lot with their 6.6-liter Duramax V-8, producing 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Yeah, you know things are serious when the trucks with 765 lb-ft are the knock-kneed wimps of the lot.
2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
