Fresno, California, United States
|
This is a 1955 Ford Truck F100 Custom Cab! I recently picked this truck up and have not had it long. The truck was built back in the day! late 70's- early 80's. This is a Running Driving Truck! I had to do a few things to it because it had been sitting for quite a few years. I got it running and it runs really good! I have driven the truck around for the last few days, not too far because it is currently on a Ca Non Op. It might still have a few Bugs I would kit carb at some point but she still sounds and runs good down the road. Gears have been changed by previous owner, it will get down the freeway with no problem! I'll try and give my best description of the truck but a lot has been done to it. Body is good, sheet metal is straight! Paint is older and does have Clear coming off at different areas on truck. There are a few places where paint has pealed so either run like that or it will need paint! your choice! This Truck does have the Tilt front Hood which is set up with Hydraulic tilt that is some how connected to the power steering pump. (I could not get it to work) so u can lift the hood Manually. Interior is straight out of the 70's has that cool old look. Has after market Gauges and they work! Has Under the Dash AC Unit and it blows but will need service!!! Owner told me it worked when parked!! Nice original Seat and has Seat Belts!! inside looks good!!could use a little cleaning like (carpet). Very Nice Grille and YES the Bumpers are off another Truck!! He want that Big Look for the Truck!! Tailgate is custom with Hidden Cables! Ok now for the Rust The Rear Cab Corners will need replaced or repaired! (please see Pics). The Bed is Custom Made! Sides Super Straight and Smooth, also Custom Tailgate Smooth! The Top of Bed Rails have been replaced with Stainless Steel (please look at pics) I have Ply wood in Bed that I put in and will have a couple bolts holding it down. Motor is Ford SB either a 260-289, It has a 3 Speed on the Floor mated to it. Fun to Drive with the Floor shifter!!! It starts right up! and sounds good with the Dual Exhaust and I believe the pipes are Glass Packs (sounds Great)! I really don't know a lot about the engine I think the only thing I would do it maybe Kit the Carb, it idles good after it warms up. I think the engine is around 1964-66. The motor does need some cleaning has oil here and there. I have had this trucked parked in my garage for a month or so and no oil leaks on the floor, (not sure where the old oil on block came from). Chassis is all Original Ford! This Truck Does have Power Steering and Steers really Nice down the Road and when stopped it turns easy!! I drove the truck at high speeds and she drove Straight and Brakes work Like 1955 Brakes Should!! (if you know what I mean you have to put some foot power on them) lol It does not wonder down the road but if you hit a bump it does pull a little nothing bad at all! Electrical is all there and does have a few too many wires on fire wall but I guess that's the way the guy did it back then. Lights, Blinkers, Hazards, Taillights. Brake lights, Dome light, Wipers all WORK!!! This is a Running Truck! I have not had it long at all so I 'mtelling you what I know and see on the truck. Its not a show truck its a Hot Rod, Rat Rod or Cruiser, Its Old School and Looks Old School. The Truck sat for a few years before I got to it, so I only know what I see. Still a nice little 55 that you can drive and still do your own stuff to it. If You Have any Questions Please ask!!! I am trying to describe the truck the best I can. I have not have it long. Title is Clear and in My name with a Ca Non Op. I will sell overseas and will help with loading on my end as much as possible. There will be a $500.00 Deposit due within 3 days at end of auction through pay pal with the remaining balance to be paid within 6 Days at end of auction Unless other arrangements are made! it will be Cash, or Certified Bank Cashers Check Or Bank Transfer. If you have any Questions Please ask!!! |

Ford F-Series Super Duty earns Truck of Texas award
Wed, Oct 12 2016Texans love their pickup trucks, which you already knew. That means the Texas Auto Writers Association and its "Truck of Texas" award is a big deal. And the latest trophy goes to the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty. The pickup truck managed to snag TAWA's award at the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo. The award marks the 13th time Ford's F-Series has been named the pickup king of the Lone Star State. Roughly 70 journalists converged outside at the Longhorn River Ranch, just outside of Austin, TX, for the 23rd annual Texas Truck Rodeo where a host of Ford's vehicles won awards. In addition to the F-Series Super Duty being named the "Truck of Texas," the 2017 Ford Super Duty won the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck award, while the 2017 Ford F-150 with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine won the Best Powertrain award. The journalists also awarded Ford for having the "Truck Line of Texas." Ford wasn't the only winner at the Texas Truck Rodeo, as Nissan brought home five awards, including one for the 2017 Titan in the fullsize pickup category and one for the Armada in the SUV segment. Ram also won a few accolades with its trucks. The 2017 Ram 1500 won for being the most luxurious pickup truck, while the 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon won the off-road pickup truck award. Last year, TAWA named the 2016 Nissan Titan XD the Truck of Texas, but Ford's all-new F-Series Super Duty managed to keep the Japanese automaker's full-size offering at bay. For the 2017 model, Ford placed aluminum body panels into the F-Series Super Duty's body, which not only shed weight, but also make the truck stronger. Scroll down to see the entire list of TAWA's winners from the 2016 Texas Truck Rodeo.

Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.
