Located in Moab, UT

NO RESERVE!  HIGHEST BID GETS THE TRUCK!

This is a factory 1979 F350 regular cab truck with a all steel flatbed.  The truck retains it's factory drive train including the very desirable High Pinion Dana 60 front axle (this axle alone is worth $1000-1500).  It has 410 gears with a locker in the rear.  The truck has the factory manual 4 speed transmission and NP205 transfercase.  It just passed Utah's state safety inspection a couple of weeks ago and is current on it's registration.  Clear and clean title in hand with utah license plates and registration.

This drivetrain set up is very desirable.  If you add lift springs to this truck you can run BIG tires reliably on the stock drivetrain without further modification. 

The GOOD: Truck starts every time and can be driven anywhere.  4WD works great.  Has engine block heater for cold weather.  Tires and not new, but not needing replaced either.  Set up for bumper or gooseneck towing.  No visible rust showing.  Dual fuel tanks are functional.

The BAD: Body has dents, dings and needs TLC.  Interior is typical for a 1979 Ford - Dash cover is cracked from the sun, bench seat is saggy in the drivers position, speedometer works on and off, e-brake bracket needs to be reattached (but e-brake is otherwise functional), heater doesn't work, and carpet was replaced by some household shag carpet.  Front tank could use a filler hose replacement.  Brakes pull slightly to the left when applied.  Transmission doesn't down shift into 3rd without priming it by trying to put it into 2nd (but it has been that way for a long long time).  Drivers door shuts funny and could use a new hinge, but still latches and opens fine.  The rear passenger mudflap flew off on the highway after I took the pictures.  I am sure there is something I might be forgetting, but like I said - it just passed the Utah state safety inspection and is a registered driver.

THE BOTTOM LINE:  If you are interested in this truck, you likely know that it is a rare truck with a very desirable drivetrain.  It runs great, will go anywhere, and is ready to tackle any job you throw at it.

I wanted to keep this truck around because it is a great work truck, but I have to sell to fund another project I am working on.  If you have questions feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.

Located in beautiful Moab, UT.  Local pickup or buyer arranged shipping only.  Cashier's check/money order/personal check if shipping or cash in person only.   Buy must wait for personal checks to clear before the vehicle will be released.

Plan a trip for Easter Jeep Safari in Moab to pick this truck up!

Feel free to Call or Text me at (916) 220-3857.  I don't respond to calls Friday night to Saturday night sundown.

2015 Ford Mustang production to begin on July 14? Not quite, says Ford

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Mustang6g.com believes that it has unlocked start date for 2015 Ford Mustang production citing a Ford dealer communiqué. According to the report, job one on the 2015 hardtop will allegedly start in just a few days, on July 14, although units that are known as "OK to Buy" won't enter production until September 9. The cars built between those dates are most likely final pre-production cars for the executive test fleet, and will likely include the cars we'll be driving at the media launch.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, would seem to have a longer wait. Job one on the droptop supposedly isn't slated to start until September 14, with production models starting on October 27. As is the case with the hardtop, these final pre-pros are for the execs and media to test, while actual dealer orders will come from vehicles made after the October date.
After speaking to Ford, though, we wouldn't put a great deal of stock in those dates as reported. We reached out to Said Deep, Ford's North American Product Communications Manager.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible shown on Twitter [UPDATE w/video]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It hasn't yet been 12 hours since the hotly anticipated 2015 Ford Mustang has been let out into public view. After a series of evocative leaks over the course of the last days, we brought you a full deep dive of the sixth-generation pony car at the dawning of today. And yet, here we are rushing to bring you news of a new Mustang variant, already.
Be it part of a plan to keep the Mustang fervor at full boil, or a misunderstood email somewhere in the chain of command, Ford UK has unceremoniously tweeted a picture of the 2015 Ford Mustang Convertible. For a newly global Mustang, getting our first look at the droptop from the convertible-crazy British does make some amount of sense.
As for details, well, you're looking at them. Brandon Turkus reported yesterday that the Mustang 'vert would make use of a fully electric convertible mechanism, and that it would be of fabric construction rather than some kind of retractable hardtop. We see here that the fabric part is clearly true, and it does look as though Ford may still be employing the same kind of manually attached tonneau cover that exists right now. Of course, our view from this angle isn't great, and the particulars are still up in the air.

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
