2008 Ford F450 Super Duty 6.4 Liter Flatbed on 2040-cars

US $17,650.00
Year:2008 Mileage:143777
Location:

Issaquah, Washington, United States

Issaquah, Washington, United States

Vehicle is sold "As-Is-Where-Is"   However I am open to negotiation about delivery to locations on the US west coast.  Vehicle is located in zip code area 98027 near Seattle, WA.

According to specs supplied by Ford:  This truck is a bull with 6.4 liter 32 valve diesel engine with 650 ft lbs of torque and 300HP. It's a 4X2 with an automatic 5 speed + overdrive transmission with only +143,000 well serviced miles. 

The truck is a pleasure to drive has plenty of power and quite tight turning radius less than 30 feet to hang a U-eee. Air con works great as does cruise control. Pretty good sounding stereo though it's a stock unit I would have replaced. 
It's equipped with powerful ABS air disc brakes front and rear and the engine has been checked by a professional diesel engine mechanic and cleared as tight and sound. 

Has 2 hook ups for high and low trailer hitches and Pollak? 7 pin round socket for trailer lights (and I have the matching plug which is hard to find). Also, I believe it has a socket for air brake connection to trailers (NO PROMISE HERE - and if I am NOT correct, I won't be beat up about this point please...)

Tires are Goodyear 225/70R 19.5" retreads with less than 60% life.

The flatbed is 77" wide and needs "wings" of about 9" on either side (which in my vision would be the hinged and opening tops of tool boxes and equipment storage (flush with the existing bed). The bed wood is sturdy, but I needs replacing.  Space immediately behind the cab is for air compressor, generator and/or welding equipment. Tool box behind this empty space.  All this can be removed and a new bed easily installed to purpose the vehicle to meet your needs. 

The glass is good all around and the body has a few nicks and scratches -- but no major damage, just normal wear and tear. There is an 2" -- 3" indentation in the front bumper on the driver's side (which you can see in the first picture.

Note that the hoist, though temporarily mounted in its odd position is not for sale and it's been placed there in order to rebuild it.

'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

Meet Floyd Pullin, 102-year-old honorary president of Ford trucks [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

When we talk about trucks we often talk about how loyal truck owners are; it's men like Floyd Pullin who provide the proof. The 102-year-old man from Confluence, Pennsylvania has only owned Ford products since the 1920s, and he's done so well by Ford Trucks that the division named him honorary president for a day, not long after he took delivery of his latest ride, a 2013 F-150 STX.
That's the 16th Ford he's owned. If he bought his first when he was 16, he'd have flipped into a new car or truck about every five years. For 86 years. Not a bad run of business for either side.
Ford Trucks made a video to wish Pullin a happy birthday, which was celebrated at his local Ford dealership and was visited by a Pennsylvania state senator. You can watch it below.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
