1960 Ford F100 4x4 Custom Cab Big Back Window, 292 V8 4-speed Project, Very Rare on 2040-cars
Vancouver, Washington, United States
1960 Ford
F100 4x4 Custom Cab, 292, 4-spd, Big Back Window complete truck, project, very rare. Was last registered and running in 2006. Former Department of Defense truck with low original miles. You are
bidding on an extremely rare 1960 Ford F100 factory 4x4 truck. I owed a 1958
F-100 NAPCO conversion, and this is exactly the same but the first year
offered from the Ford factory as an option. According
to Ford’s production numbers, only 4,334 4x4 fleetside trucks were produced in
1960; it’s the truck equivalent of a 1967 Shelby GT-500 in regards to
rarity. Combine this with the big back
window and the Custom Cab option, and it’s even more rare. I would say this is the Holy Grail among Ford
4x4 enthusiasts. Most Ford
enthusiasts say that NAPCO was still building these early models; I can’t say
for sure but can say it’s exactly the same component-wise. The
original paint color seems to be Aquamarine, a turquoise green. It is
now poorly painted in yellow. The body
is amazingly solid and not rusted out; minor rust bubble areas that would be
easy fixes. This particular
truck has just over 36,000 original miles (formerly a Department of Defense vehicle),
retains its' original 292 cubic inch V-8 engine, and four-speed manual
transmission with compound low. The 4x4 package utilizes a divorced
Spicer transfer case in proper working order, original 9" ford rear end,
and what appears to be a Dana 44 front axle (removable asymmetrical cover). The truck is complete under the hood less battery, and last registered, running, and driving 2006. I am operating under the assumption that the engine will require a full rebuild at this point due to sitting, so I’m selling it as a non-operable “project” truck. The transfer case shifts smoothly through all positions, as does the 4-speed manual transmission. It still has a good clutch, and the brakes still work. Not much more to say under the hood. Tires are
old but hold air, there doesn't appear to be any bed, floor, or door step rust-thorugh. The bed has a diamond-plate steel panel that covers the entire bed floor; I don't know if this was added or original.
A small amount of rust bubbles in each driver- and passenger fender down low, and perhaps
some beginnings in the cab corners, although they look solid. Overall I'd say
the truck is very dry and mostly rust-free. Window regulators are
complete and in place. The original tail gate is no longer present,
either. Otherwise, what you see is exactly what you get. The
interior is complete and unmolested other than an updated stereo, and a three-gauge
auxiliary package added under the dash. Clear
title in hand. This is a rare one and would be an amazing truck restored. While
every effort is being made to describe the truck accurately, it is in fact a 54-year-old
classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee
expressed, written, or implied. Shipping is the full responsibility of
the buyer. I will make myself available for loading. $4,500.00 cash or best close offer. Please be
able to pay in full within 3 days of auction end via Bank of America deposit,
or bank wire transfer. You may

Pickup sales may hit 2M units for first time since 2007
Sat, 21 Sep 2013Even as fuel prices creep back up, trucks are still a hot item among new-vehicle shoppers. To see how popular pickup trucks still are, you don't have to look any further than how much effort automakers put into the continual one-upmanship of their trucks. Backing this fact up, USA Today is reporting that the segment could top two million sales this year - a total not matched since 2007, though still far from the pre-recession, three-million-unit levels.
Through August, the Ford F-Series continues to be the segment leader with almost 500,000 units sold, but the Chevy Silverado (328,269), Ram 1500 (234,642), GMC Sierra (122,232) and Toyota Tacoma (110,293) are all seeing at least 20-percent sales increases, helping to account for around 1.44 million truck sales so far this year - not including possible outliers like the Suzuki Equator and Chevy Avalanche.
This year alone, General Motors has completely redesigned its fullsize trucks, Ram and Toyota have significantly updated their offerings, the next-gen Ford F-150 will be out next year and Nissan is promising an all-new Titan around the same time with an eventual Cummins diesel under the hood. It would seem, then, that truck sales are poised to continue their upward trend.
Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
2015 Ford F-150 shaves 700 pounds, adds 2.7-liter EcoBoost [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014The Ford F-150 is one of the best selling vehicles on the planet. Considering that, one can imagine that when it comes time for a redesign, there are hardly any half measures. For its lucky thirteenth generation, Ford has gone all-in on the single most important vehicle in its portfolio, redesigning it from the ground up.
The big news is the F-150's new, lightweight, Atlas-inspired body. Ninety-three percent of that new body is made from a sort of aluminum alloy not unlike what the US military uses in its M2 Bradley fighting vehicles and Humvees, and it accounts for up to 70 percent of the F-150's 700-pound weight reduction. As a side benefit, the aluminum body should prove more resistant to dents and dings. Built Ford tough, indeed.
If you're wondering where the other 30 percent of that 700-pound weight loss went, 8.5 percent (60 pounds) came from the increased use of high-strength steel (up from 23 percent to 77 percent) in its ladder-box frame. Ford claims this steel is comparable to some of the heavy duty pickups used by its competitors, with a PSI rating of 70,000.
