This 1955 Ford F-250 has had all of the heavy lifting done in its restoration and there is not much left to finish the job. It has the original 239 cu. in. 8 cylinder engine, which runs smooth and strong. The door windows have anti-vibration mechanisms, enabling them to raise and lower smoothly. The truck is definitely not a bondo-bucket. This is an extremely low mileage farm truck and that is why the floors, doors and rockers are all rock solid and rust free. The brakes are completely restored and function properly. I have loads of receipts and it wont take much more to turn this into a $20k - plus show piece. 

The original bed was the only portion of the truck that did not stay covered when it was on the farm, so it was scrapped but if you want them, it does come with an un-restored scuffed up replacement bed, used left & right rear fenders and a set of running boards that are in fair shape, just not as pristine as the cab.  A stake-bed would look great on this truck and the drive train can handle just about anything you put on it... certainly more than a F100. The final wiring for the lights is still left to do but fortunately, these trucks are about as simple as they come. It has a brand new 12 volt alternator installed but all of the components of the original 6 volt system are included and easy enough to swap out if you want to stay old school with it. It also has a new, high-dollar Optima Battery in it.

The truck is stored indoors and I am available to show it on short notice. If you are new to eBay and only have a few auctions under your belt, it would be a good idea to call me before bidding even if you are confident that you know what you're doing. 


Please ask your questions before bidding! I am not big into texting but you can reach me at 706-564-560 nine or via email. Calls are welcomed 24-7. If I am asleep, no worries just leave a message with your number and a good time for me to return your call. 

 Please remember, as the seller, I set the terms of this auction and as the bidder, you set the value of the truck. These trucks have and always will go up in value. That is why the highest bidder is called the "Winner" and the winner must pay a non-refundable deposit of $300.00 within 24 hours of the auction's close, via PayPal. The balance must be paid via money order, certified check or cash in person, within two weeks of the auction's end or unless otherwise negotiated before the close of the auction. I will do all I can to help with shipping arrangements.

Detroit 3 and UAW set for showdown over tiered wages

Mon, Mar 23 2015

This week, thousands of United Auto Workers will converge on Cobo Center in Detroit for the Special Convention on Collective Bargaining, an every-four-year event that lets members tell UAW leaders what the negotiating priorities should be during contract negotiations. This is where a lot of sand and a lot of lines start coming together in preparation for contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit 3 automakers, which will happen later this year. Number one on the UAW agenda is the end of the two-tier wage system created in 2007 to help the automakers get through bankruptcy; veteran workers are paid the Tier 1 rate of around $29.00 per hour, new hires are paid the Tier 2 rate of between $15 and $20 and get about half the benefits of Tier 1. Tier 2 hiring has been an undoubted success for the automakers, allowing them to keep factories in the US and hire more workers. By agreement, it is capped at a certain percentage of each automaker's workforce, and while the union's ultimate position is to get rid of the dual-scale system entirely; one leader said Ford could easily afford the $335 million it would take to convert all its workers to Tier 1 out of its $6.9 billion in 2014 North American profit, and General Motors could do the same out of the $5 billion it is handing to investors through the (admittedly forced) share buyback. Other delegates say that at the very least they'd be happy with enforcement of the current caps in the new contract. The automakers, conversely, would welcome expansion of the Tier 2 ranks. Including benefits, import automakers pay workers "in the high $40 range" per hour, according to an analyst, while Ford and GM pay about $59 in wages and benefits per hour. More Tier 2 workers on the rolls would let those two companies get labor cost parity with the competition. Fiat-Chrysler pays wages closer to the imports because of special exceptions in its UAW contract that allow unlimited Tier 2 hiring; those exceptions will end on September 14 and bring FCA into line with the other domestics, unless the new contract maintains them. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne is opposed to the two-tier system, having called it "almost offensive." One analyst says the UAW might win a sizable pay raise for Tier 2 and a small increase for Tier 1, but the keystone issue will be how the hiring matrix can help the automakers keep overall wages in line with the imports.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be

Fri, 20 Sep 2013

Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.

Again? Ford issues second 2015 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ seat belt recall

Fri, Aug 16 2019

In 2016, Ford issued a recall for 603,392 2013-2016 Fusions and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZs due to potentially faulty seat belts. Apparently, that wasn't the end of it. Ford announced another recall this week for the same issue, this time covering 108,399 2015 Fusions and MKZs.  In both cases, the seat belt anchor pretensioners are the issue. According to Ford, "increased temperatures generated during deployment of the driver or front-passenger seat belt anchor pretensioner could degrade the tensile strength of the cable below the level needed to restrain an occupant." Basically, heat could weaken the seat belts, and in extreme cases, they wouldn't be able to keep up proper safety standards. Ford knows of at least one injury that has occurred due to this issue.   The recall includes 103,374 vehicles in the United States, 4,002 in Canada, and 1,023 in Mexico. Possibly affected Fusions were built at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and January 30, 2015. The MKZs were built at the Hermosillo Assembly Plant between August 1, 2014 and November 21, 2014.  As a fix, Ford says dealers will add an extra coating to the seat belt pretensioner cable for protection from the heat. If this recall might affect your vehicle, call your local Ford dealership and use recall reference No. 19S25. This news comes after Ford recalled 1.3 million Fusions and MKZs in 2018 due to the possibility that the steering wheels could fall off. Fusions have also been recalled due to the risk of rolling away.
