Description So imagine seeing this old beat up 1949 ford f1
sitting there just begging to be put back on the road but it was too much of a Frankenstein
to get anyone’s attention. I looked at
it and saw nothing but potential. This is
a great truck and it has been taken care of before it sat you can tell it has
all the bells and whistles of the time and it was the top of the line model at
the time. This truck was a project of
mine, pretty much I wasn’t going to let it get crushed or sit in another
dreamers garage any longer it needed to be on the open road or bar hoping
again. So I dragged it onto the trailer literally
and once I got it home I made it a driver again. I would keep it but the city I live in you
can only have 5 vehicles and I am way over beside I enjoy bringing old trucks
and old triumph motorcycles back to life like others enjoy fishing or
woodworking. So I proved everyone wrong
and put 100’s of hours worth of work into it and low and behold Frankenstein
runs again and is ready to be driven.
The fact it has a chevy 283 in it just adds to the fact that this truck
should be driven. They are much cheaper
and easier to maintain then the cast iron fords. Ok here goes this truck came to me a couple months
ago in very sad shape indeed. It is
indeed a 1949 ford body, frame and all suspension parts. Then someone in the late sixties early
seventies is my guess turned it into a hot rod by dropping in a 283 small block
Chevy engine and auto tranny my guess is out of an impala cause the impala symbols
are glued to the side of the truck. They
also ran ac power and an extra gas tank that is still in the bed of the
truck. The ac power and second gas tank
are disconnected for safety reasons but could probably be hooked back up. I left them in their cause the look is great
and I can just tell that some guy owned this truck in the 70’s and loved
it. There were spark plugs in the old
exhaust and the ac power just makes me think of an old movie with a guy revving
his engine on the side of the road shooting flames and listening to a radio or
something. However I guess it could have also been a work truck that did long
trips due to the two gas tanks. Either
way it still has every option that was offered back then right down to the vacuum
fan that is in the upper driver’s side corner of the windshield. It even still works, and if you watch the
video I show it working. This truck has had a
ton of work done to it. I am growing much attached to it so I am going to sell
it now before I drive it around more and get even more attached. Work I have done includes New oil pump, bad relief valve on old one New oil pump screen New main seals on the engine, was leaking from sitting I am guessing New points, cap, rotor, all that good stuff New wheel cylinders, shoes, drums, springs, adjusters and so on in
the back. They were not even there New exhaust manifold two down pipes and a couple cherry bombs Brand new rubber on 20 inch dodge rims but center caps can be
changed to say anything same bolt pattern New 2 inch aluminum spacers on all four wheels so you can ride on
modern tires and rims All new studs and lugs on all four corners Ok
so you get the point almost every wear part on the truck has been replaced. I am running an electric fuel pump so no need for choke fires right up every time. I rewired all the important stuff to 12 volt so no more candle sticks for headlights and you now have brand new and working brake lights, tail lights, turn signals, plate lights and thanks to new York and there inspection laws you also have new galvanized bumper that can be easily removed if you live in a more understanding state. This truck is unique it gets a ton of attention, I know the ford guy are going to give me grief for the FROD emblem I assure you I didn’t do it but it is very amusing. Frame of the truck has been modified and transmission crossbar as well but they did a great job with it. This truck is not a restoration project to put back to a Ford without a new frame. However it has a 283 small block under the hood so if you want to dress it up all you have to do is get the old corvette head and such and you are on your way. There is no key the ignition switch is hidden but right now it is not running a key at all. Not sure what else to tell you. It has relays for headlights passes inspection and it is a true rat rod but on a daily driver level. This is not a speed demon I promise you that but it is also not original so I guess I would label it as a curser that sounds like a hot rod. Owe I also replace windshield and front seal. I have the rear seal but did not replace it yet cause of the rust above the window and if it was mine I would do something with that before I put the new seal on while the old window is out even if it was to just fill it with silicone. This truck also has an air vent on the hood that pops up by a lever under the dash i should have put that in the video it is really cool and it works. another very rare thing is this truck not only has heat but it still works as well Ok so on to the bad I guess, it is
a rat rod and it is old and sat for a long time so there will be no guaranty
with this truck. The started right up and oil pressure starts at 80 and as the truck warms up it drops right down to 60 psi however this engine sat a long time I would think it will need an addition plug change and wires soon but runs great right now. The
transmission shifts really well now that I replaced the vacuum line and filled
her up with new tranny fluid, I would however flush it after about 100 miles or
so because I am sure there will be particulate in it from sitting. There is something dripping every once in a
while but fluid levels don’t move enough to notice so didn’t look any further into
it. I have personally only put about 20 miles on it since I finished it so I would
not hop in and drive it cross country. Once you buy it you can do what you like
that’s just my personal opinion. Both front cab corners have small
holes which I covered with old plates but before covering them I checked out
mounts they are in great shape so it would only need repaired it you wanted to
go through the trouble. I put an L bracket in there on the driver’s side to
reinforce the door on the hinge side so the door closes effortlessly now. I am sure I am leaving out a lot of stuff and
if you ask questions I will try and keep up with them. Owe and I also installed
modern gauges so
voltage, temperature, and oil pressure are easy to monitor they have lights for
night driving and I did not mount
them cause it will be personal preference as were to do so, speedo works but is
a little off cause of the tire size, gas gauge does not since it was converted
to 12 volt I didn’t even hook it up. It may work there is a switch in there for
both main tank and the tank in the bed. If you got questions ask or give me a call I am easiest to get a hold of me in the early afternoon I work evenings. You can text anytime. (585) 415-6592 Shipping. I
will help as much as I can with shipping as far as if you send a third party
shipper I will do what I can to help facilitate however I will not ship
vehicles and prefer you come to get them Please only pay deposit
through PayPal. If you need to pay for the vehicle with a
credit card call and we will work that out or you can pay with PayPal and we
can add in the fee they charge for using a credit card. To be able
to bid on my vehicles there
are some requirements I apologize in advance but there are a lot of not so serious bidders out there and I still have to pay for the listing. If you have 0 feedback call me or I will cancel your
bid immediately. Also if deposit is not
paid for within 48 hours I will offer the vehicle to
the next highest bidder.
Ok legal stuff.
These vehicles are legally sold as show vehicles only and if you decide
to register and drive the vehicles on the road you do it at your own risk. Happy bidding I guess and I know I probably will not get my
money back out of this truck but it was a blast to build. I did put a reserve on it cause if I don’t sell
it I will sell one of my other rat trucks because this one is something
special. |

Why the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the best since The Crisis
Tue, Dec 30 2014The Detroit Auto Show clearly has its swagger back, and the 2015 edition will be a veritable feast for the enthusiast senses. We're talking serious performance, and it will be exhibited in a variety of forms. Sports cars. Supercars. Muscle-bound luxury cars. They're all set for splashy debuts in January in the Motor City. It's another signpost that companies have recovered from the global economic crisis that gripped the industry from 2008-09. For a while, automakers played it safe at Detroit and other shows. Environmentally friendly cars were important, especially for General Motors and Chrysler that were living on loans from Uncle Sam. Ford, Toyota and other companies generally focused on their best-selling or core models. With a few notable exceptions, recent auto shows have been a bit more buttoned-down than in the past. Boring probably isn't the right word, but austerity has been reality. That's changing. Car companies are making money. Sales are up. Aside from the many nagging recalls – and they are notable – the industry now has the time and energy to make performance cars a priority. That will be offered in hard evidence in Detroit. A year from now when we look back at this auto show, we'll sum it up with one word: Horsepower. But make no mistake, this isn't frivolous. Sports and luxury cars are expensive. They're profitable. They boost images and highlight strengths. With that in mind, here are five significant performance-oriented reveals to watch for when the show kicks off in less than two weeks. 2016 Acura NSX Acura's reborn NSX is a strong bet to earn plenty of votes for our Editors' Choice awards. It's one of the most anticipated – and strung-out – reveals of the year. Think back: we actually saw an NSX concept at the 2012 Detroit show, and Acura has spent the last three years teasing the car in a variety of ways. The slow burn, however, means we know a lot about the NSX. It's will use a mid-mounted twin-turbo hybrid powertrain and run with all-wheel drive. It will also wear an innovative zirconium e-coat paint, a new paint process that Honda says is more environmentally friendly. Honda has also said it will build the new NSX in Ohio, where a large part of the car's development work has been done. The original NSX was produced from 1990-2005 and helped establish Acura's performance credentials in the United States. It was a landmark car and a shot across the bow of Ferrari, Lamborghini and others.
Ford hit by lawsuit over hybrid technology from, surprise, Paice
Fri, Feb 28 2014The name Paice will be familiar to anyone who's been deep in the weeds of hybrid history, but it will probably be new to anyone who simply drives one. The key part of the story is something called "HyperDrive," which is the name given to a gas-electric powertrain technology developed by Alex Severinsky and patented in 1994. HyperDrive is a way to get the energy from both the electric battery and the engine into the wheels, seamlessly. The patents are held by Paice, which is an unusual company (its HQ is a house in a retirement community, right by a golf course) that does nothing but litigate. You can read more on Paice here. The latest case targets Ford and the hybrid and plug-in versions of the C-Max and Fusion models as well as the Lincoln MKZ. Paice claims that it held "over 100 meetings and interactions with Ford" between 1999 and 2004, and gave the automaker, "detailed information about the hybrid technology that Paice had developed." The suit also alleges that: For more than five years, Paice answered inquiries from multiple departments within Ford, believing in good faith that a business relationship between Paice and Ford would be mutually beneficial and advance the acceptance of Paice's technology. ... After years of Ford learning the details of Paice's hybrid drivetrain technology, Ford elected not to enter into a business relationship with Paice. The suit is officially known as, "Paice LLC v. The Ford Motor Co., 14-492, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (Baltimore)" and you can read the PDF here. Ford told AutoblogGreen, "we do not comment on pending litigation." Toyota settled a similar patent-infringement case in 2010 and now pays Paice almost $100 for every hybrid it sells. Paice is still in court against Hyundai and Kia. In 2010, Ford also settled with Paice but they agreed to keep negotiating on other issues until at least January 1, 2014. With that date now in the past, it didn't take long for Paice to file papers to get the two sides back before a judge. That's where it appears to be most comfortable.
Ford GT gets sexy shape and EcoBoost power [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015American automakers make vehicles of all shapes and sizes, but the one thing they almost invariably share in common is their front-engine layout. Niche offerings from the likes of SSC, Saleen and Vector (and the almost anecdotal Pontiac Fiero) aside, the most notable exception has been the Ford GT. And now it's back. Launched on the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, the new Ford GT picks up where the last one left off the better part of a decade ago – similarly taking its cues from the original, Le Mans-winning GT40, but in a less retro, more modern form. Instead of the atmospheric V8 in the original or the supercharged one in the retro revival, the new GT packs a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 nestled in the middle of its wheelbase and driving "more than 600 horsepower" to the rear wheels. Although Ford hasn't revealed the specific output or performance figures, it says the engine – derived from its Daytona Prototype unit and mated to a seven-speed DCT – is its most powerful production EcoBoost ever. Fortunately it's got carbon-ceramic brakes to keep it all in check, packed into 20-inch wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 rubber. The discs aren't all that's made from carbon on the new Ford GT, though: it's built around a carbon monocoque with structural carbon-fiber body panels, but with aluminum sub-frames front and back. Ford designed the new GT with a narrower canopy than its predecessors, cutting the frontal aerodynamic profile and tapering towards the back. It's also equipped with active aero elements including an active rear wing. Upwards swinging doors ought to make ingress and egress easier to and from the cockpit that's fitted with fixed seats, adjustable pedals and F1-style steering wheel and a fully digital instrument cluster. The new GT is set to enter production next year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the GT40's famous 1-2-3 finish at the 1966 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. By the time it does, we're sure Ford will let us know just how fast America's newest supercar will be.
