1937 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
This is a mild custom original. Has a 50's Mercury flathead V8 with tri-power. Converted to 12 Volts. Also, has a 1997 S-10 five speed manual transmission which seems to be a perfect fit & easy shifting (& has a new clutch recently). Most else is original & well taken care of by long time owner. New tires have just been put on, with 16's, but bigger size in the back (spare is also new). New electric fuel pump, but a new original type mechanical comes with it also. It has sort of a VW horn (operated via foot button to left of clutch pedalL, but comes with a new ahooga horn. Starts easy & runs smooth. New mufflers make it sound mild hum/roar. Gauges work except for the gas gauge which needs to be calibrated to the new Ford sending unit ( I have the gentleman's name to get this done; otherwise just keep the new poly tank filled). The lights were working but the guy I bought it from said a new switch was needed & one is supplied with purchase. I may tinker to figure it out. The fog lights work on a seperate switch. There is a lighter socket plug in for a supplied handheld fan/heater (maybe defrost back-up). It probably could be mounted for more convenience. Truck is a hoot to drive & scoots for an old school HP. Comes with 7 period hubcaps & 6 beauty rings. Or, you can leave them off (see the driver side picture with all OFF; passenger side all hubcaps & beauty rings on for preferred look comparison; I prefer the hubcap & beauty ring look). Two extra rims & I think two tires. Needed items eventually: minimal rust at driver door back corner & rain catcher/gutter. Couple small bubbles on passenger door & less issue @ rain gutter. The new light installed, as mentioned. All the glass is excellent/new, but the driver's door roll-up glass has a crack. It rolls up/down smoothly & is not going to fall out. Passenger door window winds up/down smooth also. The bed wood looks to be original or replaced @ older restore. It is very solid antique wood/hold down strips. The truck underside/frame is excellent with no rust. The hood sections were just sat on for pictures & not latched tight (usually left off for cool engine seeing). The crank out windshield & air intake cowl port both work easily.
On Feb-05-14 at 12:14:24 PST, seller added the following information: As can be seen, every exhaust part is new. The doors close tight, evenly & snug with no drop in hinges or latches. On Feb-05-14 at 13:15:27 PST, seller added the following information: I meant to put in a picture of the bed wood, but do to limited picture loading on this format, I could not. I can send more pictures to any email or maybe thru ebay. The wood is aged but not rotting or need replacement. On Feb-05-14 at 15:31:31 PST, seller added the following information: Has two gas caps, one regular, one locking (whichever owner prefers). Has temperature gauge radiator cap. The added tach works. Also, a period dash glove box clock (would have to install; came on deluxe model?); could use new glass; I have the address of gentleman that has one & will install the new glass, free or inexpensively). |

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
Recharge Wrap-Up: Tesla, CarCharging and the EPA
Sat, Aug 23 2014Credit Suisse analysts are bullish on Tesla. The group gives the electric car company's stock an "outperform" rating with a target price of $325. For its continued success, Credit Suisse cites the vehicles' superior technology, in turn offering more torque, roominess and reliability. Says analyst Dan Galves said of Tesla's competition with ICEs, "If Tesla can get to cost-parity with Internal Combustion vehicles and still offer $1,400 to $2,500 per year fuel savings to the consumer, it won't be a fair fight." Read more at Yahoo Finance or at Business Insider. In other Tesla news, Tesla Model S owners will be able to unlock and start their car using an iPhone. The Tesla app is adding this functionality soon, perhaps with the update to iOS 8. It's not yet clear how this function will work, but it's one more innovative convenience feature that Model S owners can enjoy. That means drivers will have less to carry in their pockets or purses when they go for a drive. Read more at 9 to 5 Mac. CarCharging Group has remotely lowered the amperage on some of its residential users' Blink charging stations to 24 amps. This will slow down the charging time for affected customers with 6.6-kilowatt charging by about 15 percent. The company cited safety reasons for the move, with concerns about overheating. The amperage reduction is temporary, until CarCharging is able to provide replacement parts for the chargers. Some are concerned about the delayed action, as well as the fact that the reduction was handled without owner permission. Read more at Plugin Cars. Ford is halting test drives and sales of certain C-Max hybrid and Focus models due to a safety concern. Cars made during a single week this month at a Michigan factory may not have enough ball bearings in the steering gear assembly, which could lead to loss of control. None of the affected cars have been sold, Ford says, and about 50 units are currently at dealerships. Just over 600 will need to be recalled. Dealerships have been notified of the problem. Read more at Reuters and the The Detroit News. A new EPA report shows that urban air in the US is becoming less toxic since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. The report shows a 66-percent reduction in benzene, almost 60 percent reduction in mercury from man-made sources, 84 percent less lead and more.
