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:"I would describe this truck as in good running condition. The only parts that are not original is it has a new carburetor with a oil bath air cleaner and a different speedometer cluster but it looks correct to the period. The new black paint on the truck is like a rubberized black. Tires are new. The seat looks like it came out of the 70s but its comfortable and we seem to like it when we are riding around. All the locks work with the keys including the glove box and all the glass is original. The back glass has a crack but has not seemed to be an issue. The motor probably has some blow-by because it leaks some oil out of the crankcase ventilator, but it has strong oil pressure, plenty of power and runs great. The fuel gauge does not work, and the speedometer worked until last week and started making noises so I unscrewed the cable. Could be something simple, not sure. The blower defrost and wipers work. It has a vintage horn that is super loud."

 I have a very rare and desirable 1956 Ford F250 in good running, condition.  These F-Series Trucks are very popular because you can still buy parts for them.  This truck has the original 272 Y-Block V-8 Engine mated with the original 4 Speed Transmission and is a 12 volt system. I have converted over to a alternator but I have the original generator in working condition, I have the original coil, solenoid, and other parts. The truck has new tires all the way around. To the best of my knowledge very few of the 250s were produced. This truck was converted to a dually flatbed at one time which was very well done and looks factory.  I also have a new electronic ignition module for the distributor but its running so good I have not yet installed. I have serviced the transmission and differential. I also replaced the points, condenser, plugs, cap, rotor, coil, solenoid, fuel filters.  The left front wheel cylinder needs to be replaced but its drivable. Parking Brake mechanism works well, but needs new brake shoes/pads. There is no rust on the frame but the cab corners would need repair in a restoration. Clutch shifts good but there doesn't seem to be much pedal left. There might be some adjustment underneath but I am not sure.  The truck is flat black, but the original color was Meadow Green. Truck drives and rides good.   Truck comes with most  original parts like arm rests, door panels, etc. Truck has a clean open title.  Truck has dual fuel tanks.There is plenty of room on the running boards for tool boxes, generator, etc.  Has a nice stereo in the glove box with custom speaker boxes on the floor. Some say this is the coolest truck ever made and gets thumbs up and complements. I think out of the 50 vehicles that I have owned this is one of the most fun to drive. I hate to sell this truck but I don't have the room and I can't stand to let it sit outside. Mileage stated is an approximate, we're not really sure. This trucks so rare there is not another 1956 Ford F250 for sale on Ebay.

 PLEASE READ!  We are not trying to misrepresent the truck in any way but it was brought to our attention that the 56 has a rounded front window and rectangular vents and this one don't. This truck has a clean 56 title and matching Vin plate.  Looks like someone cloned this truck as a 56.  After further review of the front grille we think is is a 53 Deluxe cab.  It is still a cool truck but it don't seem to be the true 56 it says it is.   Thanks and please understand this ad revision.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.

Ford Explorer gets appearance pack for 2015

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

Remember when Ford launched the totally new Explorer in late 2010, and people were skeptical about how the now-crossover would fare, after ditching its traditional SUV roots? Well, we're several years in, and I think we can assuredly say that Ford made the right decision. Sales are better than ever (in fact, May was the current Explorer's best month yet), and the crossover is finding its way into the hands of a whole host of new Ford buyers.
A wholly refreshed Explorer is still forthcoming, but to keep its strong-selling crossover fresh, Ford is offering a host of improvements for the 2015 model year, including the attractive appearance package available on the XLT trim level, pictured above. Outside, the pack gets you goodies like 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, black bodyside cladding and roof rack rails. Contrasting Magnetic Metallic accents are found on the grille, mirror caps and liftgate appliqué, and there's an "Explorer" hood badge and body-colored door handles. Inside, there are new Miko suede inserts in the seats, and the package includes the automaker's Sync connectivity with MyFord Touch infotainment.
Elsewhere in the Explorer range, the Class III trailer tow pack is now standard on the Sport, base models get new 18-inch aluminum wheels, and there are three new colors on offer: Bronze Fire Metallic and Magnetic Metallic.
