1956 Ford F100 Factory Custom Cab Big Window Truck. This Truck has been in our family for 35 years. It received a light frame-on restore at about that time. Every chrome piece was replaced and a few additional pieces were chromed. We drove the truck around until 1988 when it was parked inside a garage in mild California. There it has sat for 26+ years. It received a few nicks and scratches over the years it was stored. The paint does shine and the pictures show the condition of the truck very well. This truck has only 2 tiny rust spots in the very rear bottoms of the doors, Cab corners are perfect as is the whole rest of the truck. The bed currently has a piece of plywood installed but included with sale is a new set of bed wood and metal strips. As you might imagine you can’t just start a truck after sitting that long so my Brother-in-law & I changed the oil, replaced the water pump and hoses, flushed the fuel system, replaced the battery, replaced the brake master and bled the brakes.  Tires need to be replaced as should be after 10 years on any car and the shocks need new bushings or replaced. Truck runs smooth and shifts into all gears but did appear to be leaking some trans fluid from the front seal. We put in some seal stopper and didn’t notice any more after driving a couple blocks. This truck has an uncut straight axle frame with the only changes to it being the engine and Trans from a 67 mustang 289/C4 and Tru Spoke wheels. Floors, battery box area are all in original metal. Un-hacked trucks in this condition are hard to come by, it leaves you the option to return to stock or customize into your dream truck. Also included with sale is a set of factory service manuals. If anyone wants pics of a certain area let me know and I will provide.  Good luck and happy bidding.

Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue

Tue, 28 May 2013

According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
