Putting Mr. Ugly up on the auction block. Out of the Sacramento area, discovered in the middle of a field. It has some rust issues sad to say. Over the left headlamp on the hood, and over the left rear tail light area are the worst two spots. Roofline not bad surprisingly, passenger door skin is loose from the bottom of the door. Has some dents and different layers of paint as seen. Good news is that the 223 six cylinder motor still running strong. Has a new fuel CA pump since we have that gas that can eat up the older rubber. Used glass bowl for the carburetor which isn`t quite idling right, have a rebuild kit for it. One wire Chevy alternator installed and working, also changed it to spin on oil filter. All new brake shoes and wheel cylinders and yes the drums were properly turned. New master cylinder for both the brakes and clutch and new slave cylinder as well.
Interior is dirty and rusty looking was going to power wash it and sand blast where needed. Driver stock seat all messed up, jump seat must of since it is no longer around. Tires all good, if you see something missing it will be in the back of the truck such as the side hood emblems for example. Bumper brackets or frame horns as they are called were for some reason cut off and rewelded at an angle. Bumpers are the one thing I do not have for this truck. Steering box is sloppy, meaning it handles like a drunk cow going down the road the faster you go. Will include a rebuildable one that I can tell you where to send it for a cost of only 300 bucks. And there is a person in the San Diego also offering rebuilt steering boxes.
My plan was to just patch it up and use it like a work that they were. I have the title but it has been out of the system for so long it may have to be mechanically inspected. Brakes, lights and glass which reminds me there is a crack in the windshield on passenger side. I also have 2 others to feed as well. Will answer any questions, have been a panel truck owner on and off for 30 years. There is a great Ford F-100 club for 1957 to 1960 models only with members all over the world on facebook definitely worth checking out. Thanks all.

Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
