I bought this truck from the original family owners. From Idaho. Super solid. Runs great for the age. I have owned it for 2 years. If I had the time or endless storage, it wouldn't leave. But I have to let it go.
The bad:
Few dings,10 year old restoration. Cab corners have had some work done, paint close but doesn't match. Slight bubbling at roof, see pictures.Inside of bed- slight dents. Minor oil leaks, no puddles. Horn ring doesn't work, previous owner rewired to button on dash. Wasn't fused so I rewired. Manual everything, drives like a truck, it is one. Not original rear bumper. Not perfect by any means, but a super solid survivor.
The good:
I repainted the floor boards... very solid, only surface rust. New carpet. seat very nice, some original upholstery. Nice shine to paint. New turn signal cam. Runs, shifts, drives great. Chrome in very nice shape. Some dings in side trim, but otherwise really nice. This truck gets loads of attention, because you don't see very many unaltered this nice. The wheels aren't my first choice, but they came on the truck. I have the original wheels and hubcaps, go with, need paint. I need to dismount the bias belt tires on them. They're junk.
The truck is for sale locally, but I don't plan on ending auction early, without contacting highest bidder.
Now the legal mumbo jumbo. Do not bid without contacting me if you have negative or less than 5 feedbacks. No deposit required, But payment must be made within 5 business days, unless arrangements made. If you have any questions, please ask before bidding. You can contact me at (309) 781- 2406. Thanks, Chris.
On Jun-03-13 at 16:37:04 PDT, seller added the following information:
I guess there was some confusion on what I put in the description, the tires on the truck are in very good shape. The ones on the original rims are not.
Sorry I didn't show a picture of the inside of the bed. It has a few slight dings and dents painted over, but overall good shape. There are no bubbles or rust on the truck, except for the roof rail which is because of poor prep on the older paint job, see the picture.
If there are any questions, please ask. I know I have forgot something. Its been a while, but I have sold 3 cars on ebay, and the main comment was I too honest on flaws. I have 100% feedback and I want to keep it that way.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
