1927 Model Tt Wrecker Wood Body on 2040-cars
Bremen, Indiana, United States
|
Up for Auction is my 1927 wood body wrecker. I purchased this body and bed on a chassis that I think was about a 1922. The chassis was in poor shape and needed about everything. It just happen that I was able to get a 1927 Model TT chassis that looked to be in good shape. I sold the chassis that came with the body and mounted the body on this newer chassis and tried to start the engine. After a little time I was able to get it to run, but it was not running right. Pulled the head and found a crack in the block. I had another block but it was a 1925 engine and I started to rebuild it. The bearings were good on the rods and mains. I did put new high compression pistons in it. I also had all the exhaust seats replaced and all new stainless valves with new springs and lifters. I put oil dippers on the rods and drilled the rod caps. I kept the 27 transmission and totally rebuilt it. All new bushings and roller tail bearing. I balanced all the rotating parts and magnetized the magnets. Replaced the mag. coils with a rebuilt one. Rebuilt the coils, starter, and generator. It starts on mag and runs like a top. I put a warford three speed transmission in it to help it move a little faster down the road. It also makes it great for parades in the low gear too. All four tires are new. replaced any parts needed to make it reliable and save to drive. I brush painted the chassis with black chassis paint. I had to paint the hood due to dents and missing paint, but I have not painted the fenders or any of the body parts. The fenders have some rust at the lower area by the running boards. I did have a new seat cushions made for it. I put the Weaver wrecker unit on it and the fuel tank. It has a compression whistle, exhaust train whistle and ahooga horn on it. They all work great. I did put the cowl lights on it for looks and all the headlights and brake lights work great. I might have put 200 miles on it since everything was rebuilt. I have a clear Indiana title for the truck.
This wrecker gets looks everyplace I take it. I put a 1924 plate on it that my brother happen to have and it is not included with the truck!! Please ask questions before bidding!!!! You can call for more information # 574-250-six6three4 |

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California
Fri, 01 Mar 2013A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.
Leno chooses his top 10 Mustangs
Sat, 14 Jun 2014He may be a few months late to the party, but in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, Jay Leno has delivered a short video in which he runs down which of the Blue Oval's pony cars from the past 50 years are his favorites.
The list is pretty darn similar to our own, with some of the big names from the Mustang's half century making an appearance, while there are three or four cars here that we think you'll be pretty surprised by.
Take a look below for this short video from Jay Leno's Garage.
