Up for sale is this 1978 Ford F-250 pickup with a regular cab & 8' long fleetside bed. I have owned this truck since 2003 and I have kept up on the maintenance, this is a good running & driving work truck which I would not hesitate to drive cross-country in if necessary (her name is "Blondie"). I have put between 1000-2000 miles a year on it since I have owned it. Stated mileage is whats on the odometer: I have no way of knowing how accurate this is but the speedo has always been operational as long as I have owned it. This truck has a 4-spd standard transmission on the floor (it was originally an automatic) and a strong running 351M 8-cyl gas engine. This originally had factory AC but all that has been removed. It has two fuel tanks but only the front tank is hooked up, the back tank has been disconnected for as long as I have owned it (and the selector switch went with all the AC stuff when it was removed). Tires (LT235/85R16) have a lot of treadwear, more so on the front as I swapped out the backs for snow tires(not included) each winter. Rims are white painted steel cookie-cutter types. This has a 2" hitch ball on the rear bumper and is wired with a 7-pole electrical connector I hooked up for towing a small camp trailer. The passenger side on the bed has a factory in-bed storage compartment. Also there is a plastic side tool box installed in the bed. The back window has shaded window film installed. The entire exhaust system was replaced in 2005 (manifolds, single Thrush straight tube muffler, front & tail pipe.) I replaced the clutch, pressure plate & throw-out bearing in 2006. I have replaced the intake manifold gasket, the carburetor (this is a rebuilt 2-bbl carb with manual choke from a 1969 F-250), the brake shoes & pads, heater core, driver's side window regulator, sunvisors (black vinyl), Door panels (black plastic aftermarket), rear axle seal, differential seal, ignition coil, battery, tune-up parts (plugs, cap, rotor, wires), radiator hoses, belts and of course wipers, oil & filters as needed. The air filter is a std. 14" round filter in a chrome Edelbrock frame. Last year I replaced the tie rods, steering linkage links & link sleeve, and front axle bumpers as well as all four shocks. So not only have I kept it maintained, but I have restored some things here and there over the past 10 years whenever the mood hit to spend some money on her. This truck has quite a few cosmetic problems which I will now mention: Lots of small dings and scratches especially on the truck bed, but there is an area on the hinge side of the drivers door that is wrinkled (the bottom hinge failed and was eventually replaced but the damage was done) and the tailgate has a dent on top from the truck rolling backwards and striking a pole. The windshield has a crack on the drivers side coming up from the bottom about 12" and a chip above that which is starting to spread. The bottom seat vinyl is cracked and tore up pretty good & I have a cloth seat cover over it (the seat back is from a different seat and is in great condition). The rubber floor mat is cracked up from heat because there is no insulation on the floor (so it's a little louder inside than it should be). The vinyl dash cap is missing so the dash is just bare brown painted steel. This truck has personalized Veteran's plates which will not be included, they have sentimental value and are transferable to my other vehicles. If you are taking this out of state this won't matter as you'll need new plates anyway. Oregon buyers should figure new plates into the cost before bidding. If you plan on driving this away you will just need to pick up a temporary/ 30-day tag for the window from the DMV. I've taken a variety of pictures so please look them over closely. Feel free to ask questions, I will respond as soon as I can.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.
2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.
