This 1953 Ford f-100 Anniversary Edition that was parked on the southern side of a barn in the early 70's has been redone to roughly 95% of its original condition with original parts, no aftermarket. The only rust issue to be found anywhere on this truck is the bottom of the passenger door, which was caused form the outside window seal/sweep missing and water and volcanic ash(1980 St. Helens) leaked in and plugged the drain holes. Most parts($8000 in receipts) were purchased from Sacramento vintage or Dennis Carpenter. The truck has new chrome all around except for the original chrome hood emblem that I felt did not require replacement. New tires, shocks, brakes with rebuilt cylinders. New rubber seals for the windows, doors, hood, and bed. Interior and exterior door handles are new, along with window cranks. Two years ago the truck was completely sanded to bare metal and was repainted with 4th generation products. Bed has new stainless strips and clear pine planks in good condition, but pine could be resealed (part of the 5% to completely finish truck). Running boards and bed have been redone with brown tintable raptor liner. Interior has new floor mat, vinyl seat, and door panels. Engine is original 223 straight six, fords first overhead valve motor, and has been gone through by a certified mechanic that replaced rings and installed a new gasket kit. When I replaced the 6 volt wiring with 12 volt I installed brand new heater motor, new wiper motor, and new fuel sending unit. Engine runs very well. Electrical has all been upgraded to 12 volt(only change from original condition, 6 volt) in order to be drivable/reliable. 


The 5% that I consider needs to be finished on this truck would be the broken speedometer indicator, replacement of the front bumper and oil bath air cleaner that are missing, doors locks that no longer work, and the inside bottom of the passenger door that had the only rust damage in the whole vehicle was fixed with Duraglass. The vinyl used on the door pulls turned out to be cheaper than I expected and separated, so those could also be replaced, which is a quick and cheap fix. Some parts for the door locks have been replaced but did not fix the problem, and I just decided I did not need it fixed considering the other 8 project cars I currently have going. This truck is so reliable it could easily be a daily driver that is no only fun to drive, it is also an attention grabber.

Ford family keeps special voting rights

Fri, 10 May 2013

Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
