         This is a 1949 ford 1/2 ton pickup. It has one of the best cabs I've seen in a long time. The cab, front fenders, hood, and engine came from a F-5 stake truck that had been in a barn for 20 plus years. The F-5 fenders have a bigger opening than F-1's and so they hang down below the running boards about 2 inches. They were so nice and have the great original patina I left them on it.  The only rust is the lower left fender apron below the headlight and the right door looks thin on the inside inner part where it meets the cab. I wish I could find a bed and rear fenders to match.The chassis is 1/2 ton with new brake cylinders, brake shoes, master cylinder,all hoses and lines. It still could have the drums turned or replaced but not totally necessary. They are rusty, It needs 2 studs replaced on the right front hub. It needs a muffler and tail/brake lights. The running boards have rust where the rear cross brace is. The bed and tail gate are near excellent with the exception the bed is the one that takes wood and metal dividers. It needs new wood and could use a couple better divider stripes. Again I haven't sand blasted and primed the rear 1/2 the truck yet as it has some rough patina as it is. If I could put red primmer with new rubbed through green paint that's my plan. The rear fenders have rust where they meet the running boards, behind the wheel where the brace attaches, and where the bed and fender meet as it curves down in the back. It could use better rears if you could find them. The engine sounds good from yard driven. When you 1st start it the valves pop and bang, but a little upper lube I think the engine is good. I think the park and headlights work as my brother did the changeover and I haven't checked. The big truck wireing is there for the tail lights. He did say the generator or voltage regulator needs repaired.  The speedomter reads 30,594 which is from the cab. It may be accurate for the cab and engine but the needle has fallen off from age and the cable isn't currently hooked up. I may buff the cab and front 1/2 but wanted to show them as barn fresh. Hope you like it that way also. A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 48 hours and the balance within 7 day's. I am a Kansas dealer so Kansas residents need to add 8.8% sales tax. Other states pay in your home state. It's sold with Implied warranty only meaning the buyer payes for all repairs. I currently have the truck in North Kansas City, Mo where I'm moveing to if you want to look. I can also have it back in Hiawatha, ks whichever is easier.  Thanks, Scott 816-506-3789

 I just drove the truck and the generator does work as do the park lights and headlights.   I want to add  the truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Thanks again, Scott      4/14/2013     I wanted to add I change the wheels are now late model 15 inch pickup  all the way around. It did have earlier smoothies for early hubcaps. It's selling with the late model wheels. I have washed the oxidation off and I'm getting ready to polich the front if the weather will stay nice.   Thanks, Scott

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

2015 Ford F-150 begins rolling off line at second factory

Sun, Mar 15 2015

Ford needs more F-150s. Yeah, we just told you that a few days ago. The Blue Oval is reporting that its trucks are spending a mere 18 days on dealer lots, following a January that was the truck's best month in over a decade. Considering both of those facts, the timing is perfect for Ford to ramp up production of its all-aluminum truck by bringing its Kansas City, MO factory online. KC Assembly has been building F-150s for decades, and completed a $1.1-billion expansion to accommodate the all-aluminum 2015 truck (as well as for work on the Transit van). Similar to what was done at Ford's Dearborn, MI factory, the Blue Oval spent 13 weeks upgrading the plant's body shop, paint shop and a road-test course. Over 900 jobs were added as part of the update. Combined with the equally upgraded plant in metro Detroit, Ford can build 700,000 trucks per year. "The all-new F-150 has surpassed our expectations – setting new standards for fullsize truck capability, technology and efficiency," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's Americas president said in a statement. "With production starting at Kansas City Assembly, we are better poised to start meeting growing customer demand for our pickup." Scroll down for the official press blast from the Blue Oval.

This means Ford has expanded production of the first mass-produced light-duty pickup truck with a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body.
