In this auction, we have up for bid 1 running partially complete 1968 FORD pickup truck. This truck was a complete driver when I got it but due to mistakes and tire failures, it is in poor condition. Due to the fact that I live in the woods, I have to keep mouse traps every where in the Truck so they don't ruin it. Unfortunately, I forgot to close the hood all the way and the hood flew open, now it is ruined. I do still have it, however. Also, I have blown the tread off of at least 3 different tires. The last one damaged the right rear fender. I love this truck but I can't keep it in good condition and I don't have room to keep it inside. So I need to sell it. It was originally a 3 speed on the column and I installed a later 3 speed overdrive toploader transmission and I took the 3.70 rear end gear out and put in a 3.25 gear rear end. Now you can drive it 70 miles an hour down the interstate. This truck is a plain Jane no option truck. If you put some different tires on it, you can drive this truck anywhere. Sweet! I have lowered the truck in the front end by removing three coils out of the coil springs. This is an original paint, 95% rust free truck from Austin, Texas. I was going to hot rod this truck and now I want to sell it to someone that can give it a good home. Please ask questions or call me 319-721-2208. Thanks Mitch and Sandy.
PS: I forgot, I put new front and rear windshield rubbers, new felt and anti-rattle strips in doors. Arm rests are not cracked, dash pad is not cracked.
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FORD PART AND FORD PARTS FIT FORDS THE BEST. Please check my other auctions for hard to find FORD parts.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
