Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Body is in great shape, but has driver side cab corner rusted out. The window rubber is old and allowing water to run into the cab as happens with older vehicles. Driver window is cracked and needs replaced along with the small back window. The only item not functional is the fuel gauge. Not sure if it is the fuel sensor in the tank, or the gauge itself. All wiring is in tact, but I have not worked the issue any further."

Condition: This truck is very solid. All original. Runs and drives great for being stock. Of course being stock, the top speed is about 50mph in third gear. I recently put new mirrors and hub caps on and headlight beauty rings.   Mechanical: Since the motor was rebuilt for unleaded gas, it has about 5 to 6 thousand. I do not have any paperwork to prove that, but that was word of mouth when I bought it. The motor sounds solid, no lifter noise, knocks or any other indication of that not to be true, but it does run very solid. I recently changed the right rear wheel cylinder and master cylinder. The brakes kept locking on pulling. Now they have fresh fluid and work as good as only drum brakes can. I also inspected all 4 wheels to see what shape the brakes are in and they have about 75% life left on the pads. The oil was replaced about 50 miles ago and at the same time had new tires put on. the speedo cable was causing the needle to bounce around, so that is brand new from C & G early ford parts. new o-ring and drive gear were put on at the same time. I installed a new battery and new cables for both negative and positive on with quick release battery terminals. The radiator was leaking so I had a tractor radiator shop braze the missing copper and ensure it is leak tight. At the same time, I put new hoses, thermostat and, water pump on. The steering is tight and drives straight. The linkage for the column shift is tight and shifts nicely. The original blinker parts are missing so an after market blinker was put on at some point in its life. They do sell all the original blinker parts on LMC Truck. Other then that, the truck drives nice for an all original 56 and is solid. I do have the paper work for the parts ordered and the tires and oil change as well. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask and I will update as needed for everyones info. Thank you for taking the time to take a look.


Features: This is a 1956 F-100 small window longbed. It has the stock inline six 223 and 3 speed manual transmission on the column. I tried my best to keep everything stock including the original oil bath air breather. The only items upgraded is that I took off the original generator (still working) and put on a petronix's coil and electronic points with a gm 1 wire alternator. 

History:I am currently the fourth owner of the truck. The truck has been California owned its whole life until the last two years. I am military so the truck had to travel with me once I left the state. Currently in Alabama. The rust is very minimal, except for the driver cab corner mentioned. The truck was sitting for about 6 years, but I have been doing much needed maintenance to get it back up and running. 

Shipping and Payment: Buyer is responsible for shipping or pickup. I will work with buyers shipper and buyer as much as possible.

Lincoln recycling tree fibers into new MKX armrest

Thu, Feb 27 2014

Want to hug a tree, or at least a really small part of one. Then set your arm down on one of those armrests in the 2014 Lincoln MKX crossover. The US automaker is working with Weyerhaeuser and Johnson Controls on a tree-based, cellulose-reinforced polypropylene material used in the component that connects the armrest to the floor console, Wards Auto says. With properties similar to plastic, the tree-based material replaces fiberglass and is about six percent lighter. No big deal for now, but if the material starts getting used for things like battery trays and interior storage covers, that loss in weight may eventually start adding up enough to boost fuel economy a bit, providing a green double bonus. Lincoln parent Ford, which isn't saying how much more (or less?) it costs to use the new material, established its Biomaterials and Plastics Research team in 2001. In 2007, the company began using soy-based foam in car seats used for models such as the Lincoln Navigator and Ford Mustang and has since broadened biomaterials use to components like floormats and cupholder inserts. Ford also used recycled plastic bottles from the 2012 North America International Auto Show for seats in the Focus Electric.

2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.

New York Mets outfielder turns spring training into his personal car show

Wed, Feb 24 2016

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is known for his wide range of talents. He can hit for power, average, has good speed, and is solid in the field. His car collection is equally versatile and diverse, and it's been on display this week at spring training. Every day has brought a different car, and it has his teammates and the media atwitter. Cespedes rolled up Wednesday to the Mets facility in Port St. Lucie in a Lamborghini Aventador. It's black with blue trim. Anthony DiComo with MLB.com tweeted this: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeted the Lambo has a custom exhaust that cost $80,000 and shoots out flames. Of course, that's already old news. His Alfa Romeo showed up today, too. Apparently Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has been driving it. That's an ultra-rare 8C Competizione, brought to you by Robert Brender of SNY.TV. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Italian delights are stunning, but his Tuesday arrival was arguably the craziest: a Polaris Slingshot. DiComo captured this. It's customized with gaudy wire wheels, red accents, and Cespedes' No. 52 on the hood. Subtle. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Only in this fleet would Monday's ride appear pedestrian. It was 'only' an F-250. It was raised on huge wheels, had a custom grille, and towered over that Maserati behind it. Jon Santucci of Scripps newspapers observed it. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. At this rate, we should probably skip Geneva and get credentialed for Mets spring training. Cespedes signed a three-year $75-million contract with the Mets in the off-season. He's also played for the Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Images Celebrities Design/Style Ford Lamborghini Performance baseball
