For sale is a very nicely restored 1955 Ford F-100 1/2 T stepside shortbox pickup.

The truck starts right up, runs and drives well with good brakes.  This truck is pretty

fast with its rebuilt original 272 bored .30 over.  Rebuilt by the previous owner.  Later model 4-speed put in by previous owner also.  Shifts well.  The engine and exhaust sound strong.  Dual exhaust.  Power steering and brakes.  The dual exhaust has a good healthy rumble sound.  The hood of the truck is a forward tilt design that allows great access and uniqueness.  This '55 F-100 rides on near new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 radial tires and very nice American Racing rims that really set the look off.  The body of this one is in excellent shape and the glass and stainless is nice too.  The underside is very solid as seen in the photos.  The bed is steel with a rubber mat and a snap-on bed cover is very convenient when hauling your "stuff".

The interior is almost new and looks great.  The bucket seats are very comfortable and are very nice.  The headliner and doors panels are nice.  Cool wood steering wheel.  The added-on guages work, but the speedo does not.  One very great feature on the F-100 is the added A/C which blows cold.  The wipers are working.  Horn works.  Turn signals, taillights and headlights work.  Has very good carpet and FORD floormats.  The truck also has seatbelts for both seats.

This is a really cool 1955 Ford pickup cruiser that can be enjoyed right now.  Not that many of these '55 Ford 1/2 T pickups left, let alone in excellent condition.  This one gets a lot of looks and appreciative waves as it cruises threw town.

Please feel free to ask questions.  Sold is as-is condition.  Personal inspection is encouraged.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
