1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck; Flathead V8; Floor Shift on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States

PASSES ALL MAGNET TESTS: all metal. All door areas hold magnet (factory weld ridges;outer surfaces; underside flats that look to have a bit of fiberglass*probably just pinhole fill*). 1940 is the most popular Ford 1/2 ton pick up truck. Unless you are diversified in your pick up truck year, style, make, model, & condition, most all antique trucks are near my price. If you are willing to "settle" (any old shiny truck will do) a cheaper, or old bumpy/roundy styling truck of any model is all over internet & Ebay. When you can find a 1940 or 1941 "FORD" 1/2 ton truck (non-project) for less, or equal to mine, buy/buy/buy. The longer my truck hangs round, the more I like it. And, the more I realize my buy it now price is market absolute (& maybe should be higher). NOW, onto the truck at hand: Runs good with the charm of its period. No overheat, no oil burn smoke. No start up smoke. No valve taps. Mostly solid minimal rust original. Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8. Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud. New chrome jeweled exhaust tips. The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely. Fairly new tires. The wide white wall tire inserts are just placed on for comparison/more classic look, but are due for actual install Monday. I do have pictures with just the black walls if requested. Most like wide whites, some don't. Rust free frame & over-all body. Some minor areas need attention. All glass is new (both door windows roll easy ). Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks. Bed wood & metal retainers are good. The interior is great with gauges working. Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also). One sun visor (as originally was equipped). Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow. Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works. All lights & directionals work (four way also). This had a long time owner. Always garaged in his ownership. Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495. This has an "electric" fuel pump. The mechanical is just for display? Wait, wait : Price will NOT go any lower. One of the 65 watchers (6 new since 10PM last night & as of 10:22am, 5/22) could own this for a "reasonable" price if the reserve, or accept price is met ; that amount is imbedded into the "make offer" format; this format will not accept anything under that amount. There are several "old" trucks of various makes for maybe slightly less, but not a 1940 Ford 1/2 ton that was the most popular body style & year in 1940, & most popular body style & year in 2014. Some fluctuate in market value, but not this time period & style.

Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
2015 Ford F-150 shaves 700 pounds, adds 2.7-liter EcoBoost [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014The Ford F-150 is one of the best selling vehicles on the planet. Considering that, one can imagine that when it comes time for a redesign, there are hardly any half measures. For its lucky thirteenth generation, Ford has gone all-in on the single most important vehicle in its portfolio, redesigning it from the ground up.
The big news is the F-150's new, lightweight, Atlas-inspired body. Ninety-three percent of that new body is made from a sort of aluminum alloy not unlike what the US military uses in its M2 Bradley fighting vehicles and Humvees, and it accounts for up to 70 percent of the F-150's 700-pound weight reduction. As a side benefit, the aluminum body should prove more resistant to dents and dings. Built Ford tough, indeed.
If you're wondering where the other 30 percent of that 700-pound weight loss went, 8.5 percent (60 pounds) came from the increased use of high-strength steel (up from 23 percent to 77 percent) in its ladder-box frame. Ford claims this steel is comparable to some of the heavy duty pickups used by its competitors, with a PSI rating of 70,000.
Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package
Thu, 29 Aug 2013Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.
