1965 Custom Cab Twin I Beam Truck on 2040-cars
Concord, California, United States
|
I purchased this truck off ebay a little over a year ago and have done nothing but drive it and collect stuff to make it better. Its a California made truck, off the assembly line in San Jose, Ca. Someone has added a nice 1968 351 Cleveland and 2 speed automatic transmission (on the floor) from a mustang. I haven't touched it except to add a new battery and alternator. It runs good, I run around town with it on weekends, takes a couple of cranks to start but once started it runs smooth and doesn't smoke. It steers good, has power steering and power brakes, brakes good. This is the custom cab version with inset dash gauges, side tool box, etc. I was going to buy a harness for engine and redo it since it was originally a 6 cyl 6 volt system I'm guessing. The truck has an electric fan for radiator, I am including a brand new electric fan with truck, I found that the fan that's on it is back wards and pushes air forward, my plan was to install new fan with new radiator, or basically what I'm saying this truck is totally worth fixing up. It appears that the original color was red. here's what I purchased that will go with it: original 1965 mechanic manual (thick), spare battery (new), original in the box front grill with no damage (there are no after market grills for 65 ford only 1966 ford, production stopped in sept 1965 and the converted to 66 grills), new front bumper and all mounting hardware, new FORD emblems for just above grill, new hood ornament, original blinker lenses and bezels, new head lights and bezels, new door panels (black), new arm rests (black), the kick panels have speakers in them so I go two original panels that need to be painted and installed. There are many other items stored away in my garage, everything for it will be yours. Dual Exhaust appears to be new. This truck is fully registered and insured to me, pink slip in hand, with my name on it. There will be no issues with sell. The guy I bought it from wasn't so honest about that! he also took the gas pedal and put stock one back on, so the one pictured (foot) isn't there. This engine has a very very small leak somewhere, never looked but its barely left a stain in my driveway. I have driven it from san leandro to concord many times to work and bought it in tracey ca, drove it home without issue. I'm getting married and need money to pay for it. I don't want lookie lou's, if your not serious buyer please don't contact me. |

Ford to pay $17.35 million over Escape recall
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Ford had a bit of a recall spree around this time last year, with a pair of issues on the then-new 2013 Escape, followed by a recall of 423,000 2001 to 2004 Escapes because they might accelerate of their own accord. Accordingly, Uncle Sam pasted Ford with a $17.35 million fine because it took too long to inform customers, according to a report from Automotive News.
Ford agreed to settle with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, accepting the fine but not admitting fault. The recall, which afflicted Escapes with the 3.0-liter V-6 along with 217,000 Mazda Tributes from 2001 to 2006 and 2008, was due to faulty gas pedals that could stay down after a driver removed their foot.
Ford issued a statement regarding the fine, saying, "We take the safety of our customers seriously and continuously evaluate our processes for improvements. While we are confident in our current processes for quickly identifying and addressing potential vehicle issues, Ford agreed to this settlement to avoid a lengthy dispute with the government."
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
