I had great plans for this truck, (and still do if it doesn't sell). When I bought It 8 months ago, 2 weeks later I was offered a job in Utah and moved 2 weeks after that. I bought it because it is a very rare version of f150. What makes this a rare truck well. #1 it is a super cab. #2 it is a short box. #3 it is 2 wheel drive. #4 It is a 300 ci 6cyl automatic. #5 dual tanks. Even more rare here in Utah is the lack of rust on this truck. There is no more than some surface rust on the roof. Now none of those items is rare or unique by itself, however the combination is vary rare. I moved from Portland Oregon and bought the truck out of central Oregon (Salem). When my wife drove the truck from there to here we went through 5 tanks of fuel and she averaged 19.8 mpg. Now this is my daily driver and I usually get between 16 and 18 mpg with combined in town and freeway driving. It is very reliable and comfortable. Since I have owned it I have replaced the passenger side floor pan, and part of the drivers door jamb. Installed rear slider, tune up, oil pan gasket, I replaced the rear jump seats with a matching bench (I still have the jump seats). Installed a receiver hitch and wiring with a factory connector (no wires were cut). It is the original paint that has been touched up by a previous owner. It looks good but a new paint job isn't far off. Especially in the Utah sun. It has some chips here and there. everything works all the lights, fuel switch, gauges, power steering, brakes, everything. It appears to me from the condition of the truck and receipts I have found that the truck was gone through about 10 years ago and got touch up paint, tires, wheels, shock, steering bushings, headliner, door seals (those could be replaced again they are starting to crack), the front seat has a tear and a duct tape patch. And the back seat has developed a tear since I installed it. The truck leaks nothing but could use a tranny pan gasket. I get compliments everywhere I go. it runs cool and quiet and looks good. I have a few parts I was planning on putting on it that will go with it. If you want them. A full set of aluminum mags. They are Outlaw style. I also have a 4 barrel intake manifold for it as I was planning on removing the one barrel to get a little more horsepower. I do not have the 390 cfm carb to go with it. The offenhauser intake is brand new, never been installed. I have a clean clear Oregon title. I have not transferred it to Utah yet.

Ford Transit gets outfitted for prison duty
Wed, 24 Sep 2014Between the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, the Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility and the F-150 and Expedition special service vehicles, Ford has no lack of offerings for law enforcement. And now it has one more in the form of the new Transit PTV.
Based on the fullsize Transit van, the Prisoner Transport Vehicle can move as many as 12 prisoners in three separate compartments between detention facilities. Created in collaboration with Pennsylvania-based Havis Prisoner Transport Solutions and with input from Ford's Police Advisory Board, the Transit PTV takes advantage of the Transit's considerable configuration options that include three roof heights, two wheelbases, three lengths and four body-styles - not to mention engine options that include the flex-fuel 3.7-liter V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost and 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel.
"Transit PTV is the latest example of Ford's deep commitment to helping provide law enforcement agencies with capable vehicles. This concept proves Transit is upfit-ready and designed to Built Ford Tough standards," said Jonathan Honeycutt, Ford police marketing manager. "Many Police Advisory Board members have had the chance to drive this vehicle and they are excited about it. This new vehicle is tough, smart and efficient - ideal for the needs of law enforcement agencies."
Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!
Thu, 18 Jul 2013What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
