1936 Ford 1 1/2 Ton Flatbed Truck **no Reserve** on 2040-cars
New Castle, Pennsylvania, United States
You are bidding on a 1936 Ford 1 1/2 ton flatbed truck that was originally found in Wyoming and brought to Western PA and stored in a climate controlled garage for the past 20 years. It is a project that I will never get to and do not have room to store anymore so my loss will be your gain. I've seen a few of these trucks over the years but none in this good of original condition. It is a project truck with 98% of it's original parts in place and would be ready to drive with little effort. I recently started to get it ready for the road and just can't find the time to get it done. In the past 3 months I put in a new 6volt battery, replaced the original soft fuel lines, plugs and fan belt. I will also include the new parts I've started collecting for it as well as vehicle records that date back to 1974. It hasn't been started in 20 years but it was put into hibernation the proper way so with a little care and attention to detail, it will roar back to life pretty easy. The original V8 flathead has good compression and was a good runner before it was put away. This truck was built and used as a derrick truck, or "pole derrick", and has pulled many logs out of the Wyoming wilderness over the years. The original derrick boom is no longer with us but the PTO driven winch is still in the bed and fully operational. I only have a few good pictures of it to add to this auction but I would be more than willing to take pictures of what ever you want to see and email them to you. It will be listed local as well so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime prior to receiving bids. Please ask any and all questions before you bid. $500 deposit will be required with balance due at time of pick up. If you plan to have it shipped, it will be up to you to arrange. 1936 Ford 1 1/2 ton flatbed V8 Flat Head vacuum assisted mechanical brakes 2 speed rear end PTO bed mounted winch 2 sections of original side gates |

Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
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.
GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
