1940 Ford Hot Rod Rat Rod Shop Truck, all steel, real 1940 1/2 ton cab with a solid roof, back & cab corners, all body parts from Texas and Kansas, the firewall is uncut with original green paint, I built this truck 9-10 years ago & at that time everything was either new, rebuilt or in very good condition. I left all the dents etc. on the body to give it character. Slight rust at bottom outside of passenger door & drivers door & lower inside near hinge on drivers door , the only bondo is the right front fender at the top back where there was a large slice. The grille looks nice but has a couple of breaks like they all do.The box is from a 42-7(sides are the same from 1938-47) but I cut 3" out of the front panel(making it the proper 46" wide), & using the 1940 "V8" tailgate, new stake pockets on rear, new rear crossmember, new outer little box side supports moved forward 2" & real nice '40 rear fenders also moved ahead 2" to make it the original 112" wheelbase. Very nice original running boards. I installed this truck on a 1990 GM S10/Sonoma 2wd pickup chassis shortened to 112" wheelbase. Properly lowered with Belltech drop spindles, Belltech proper lowering shocks all around. New balljoints etc. all new power disc brakes up front & all new drum brakes on a S10 Jimmy/Blazer 3:78 rearend(4" wider than s10 pickup). The engine is a real good running late 70's 5.0l or 305 cu.in. Chevy V8 with stock large 2bbl. carb(no choke, needs a minute to warm up) & Hedman headers with dual exhaust, Cherry Bomb mufflers & SS V8 tips out the back, sounds really great, loud but not too loud with that perfect rumble. New rad with electric hotrod fan that comes on automatically from a sensor in the intake(and an override switch on the dash) & a mechanical fan as well, has never overheated & starts fine when hot. The transmission is a Gm Turbo 350 3 speed automatic that I had redone 2 summers ago($850). The wheels are Wheel Vintiques 15x8 rear & 14x6 front w/ 1941 Ford hubcaps & SS ribbed trim rings. The tires are real WWW radials p235/75r15 on the rear & p195/75r14 up front, all in great shape except the right rear, it has a slight rub all around where the w/w meets the b/w (cosmetic only) when I went through a very uneven entry to a field for a car show & the fender just scrubbed the tire. I installed a trailer hitch(2") & a Brizio Chromed Aluminum ribbed bumper that is removeable for your ball mount & wired the truck with a flat 4 plug. The interior has the stock seat recovered with white rolls/pleats & 3point seatbelts for 2 & black stock cardboard interior/headliner. The glass/ rubbers/channel fuzzies etc were replaced with 60's style green(bus) glass, clear on front, passenger door glass has 2 small cracks. The dash is original w/original paint, not cut up, gauges from 80's El Camino in original cluster, the oil, volt, temp & gas gauge all work. The speedo runs fast & is not accurate. I have probably put about 10,000 miles since I built it. Original heater works great with 12-6 volt reducer. The wiper will work just needs a vacuum line. I used a mid 80's Gm tilt steering column & a 15" Lecarra '40 Ford Deluxe steering wheel, both should be repainted. There is an Kenwood AM/FM stereo with boxed speakers behind the seat. The box floor lifts up to reveal/service the battery, gas tank etc & has a donut spare tire. This is a great looking/running pickup that is very easy to drive with power tilt steering & power brakes, working 12v lighter for your accessories, 2 cup holders working signals front/rear, low/high beams, working original horn, working emergency brake & never let me down, I am between Toronto and Niagara Falls Ontario & have been all over Southern Ontario, New York & into Michigan. Fly in, I will pick you up & you can drive it home. ** I am selling the truck & I am finishing my 1940 Ford Convertible. ** ** The ONLY Partial Trades would be the following ... ** > a '40/41 1/2 Ton Pickup/Panel Van project valued up to $5000-6000 > a Class B Motorhome/Camper Van(Roadtrek Etc.) Value of $5000-6000 Thanks Dave |

Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon
Tue, Jan 3 2017The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
