I have owned this truck several years and due to financial reasons just pulled it out of the barn last week and need to sell it.  In 2011 I cleaned the fuel tank and installed a disc brake conversion to the steer axle and had a machine shop make new kingpins and I installed them.  The truck ran and drove and I put it back in the barn where it sat until last week.  I got it out, put in fresh gas and a battery and it took off as usual.  The 223 straight six does not smoke but has blow by.  The three speed column shift and clutch work exactly as they should and are very smooth and quiet.  Everything is original except the kingpins and brakes but I have the original drum brakes that go with the truck.  It is a true survivor especially for the midwest.  It has been inside the last 40 years.  The guy before me started a body restoration which he never completed.  The interior and all glass is prisitine.  Original floor mats.  All lights are there but may not be working.  It is truly a complete, straight original truck ready for restoration.  Disc brakes are not plumbed in so truck is not roadworthy but the truck lot drives.  Remember, its a little stiff and crusty from storage all those years.  By VIN this truck was built in Chicago in April, 1961 and is within the first 500 unibodies ever made.  Unibody was a failure for Ford so they went back to the two-piece cab-bed models a few years later.  This is an extraodinary truck as it has never been in a crash or overloaded and entirely intact.  The tailgate even works great.  Call with questions.  765-437-39five8.  I have a clear indiana title and will help you or your shipper load.  Low reserve.  I need to sell.  Thanks for your interest.

Man turns Ford Fiesta into a one-car band

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.
