Up for sale is my 1970 Ford F250 Highboy.. This truck is a rust free west coast truck.. Originally from California then later in its life it ended up in Oregon, where I purchased it from. The Truck is rust free with exception to some surface rust in the bed and some around the door weather stripping.. These trucks are extremely hard to find in rust free condition.. The gentleman I purchased the truck from stated that the original owner had a slide in camper that he hauled in the bed of the camper and never was used as a work truck.. The original owner replaced the original 360 with a 460 some time ago. The 460 runs good has a little blow by no knocks or taps. Starts right up, has a electric choke. The mileage on the engine is unknown. The truck appears to have been repainted in certain areas with some amateur body work to repair dents.. Original paint colors were Mojave tan with a wimbleton white roof. Has factory am radio that works great, cargo light that still works, original ford rubber floor mat, sport custom trim. vintage Kelsey hayes brake controller that works great, 7 prong and 6 prong trailer plugs on the rear.. The truck has 3 fuel tanks that all work, The one behind the seat is the only one that has a fuel gauge. rides nice down the road, no slop in steering. The doors close nice with no play in the hinges.. Tires are old, will need balancing or replacement. No power options manual brakes and steering.. Really not to hard to steer or stop with the smaller tires on it.. Ok heres the issues the truck has: the pass side window regulator is bad, have to manually raise window up and down. The motor smokes a little when first started, prob needs valve seals. There is some bondo in the rear corner of the roof, looks like a dent was filled, couldn't imagine it being rust.. The pass side door has a dent and some surface rust where the paint was damaged.. The seat that's pictured is out of my other truck, it does not come with this truck, I will include a red NOS ford factory seat cover that can be dyed black if you wish. The original seat will be re-installed before sale. The intercom speaker under the dash is not included will be removed as well. The headliner looks like a replacement and does not fit to well. Overall this is a nice truck, I really hate to sell but have to many vehicles right now. I have a 2 wheel drive 70 f250 that I will be selling if the new owner is interested. The 2wd truck has a mint interior and would make a good parts truck Please look at all the pictures and ask questions. Please remember this truck is 43 years old and not perfect. sold as-is.

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
