1942 Short bed pickup for auction, nice solid truck on rolling chassis with good rear and front end. Entire truck and frame has been blasted and primed with bare metal primer so it's a nice solid start to a frame off resto , rat rod, or street rod. With the exception of the steps all metal work welding has been done and is ready for finish bodywork. Steps are original steel, have a little pin rust but solid otherwise and are hard to find. The floor has new pan installed and could probably use some finish welding but the interior of cab is also blasted and primed. I know just blasting a bare cab is around $500 without the rest of pats so the bulk of rough work is done. All body panels are original steel, the bed and tailgate are in nice shape for an original, probably used for work, back in the day truck. As you see in the pics I have headlights, door hardware, hood latch , inner fenders. What you see in pics is what you get. No interior or glass. Nice, solid start with a previous south western truck. These trucks are also compatible with 40-41 front ends, so will work for an earler build also. I looked for a long time to find a truck with no rust, I ran out of money and time so my loss your gain good luck bidding.

Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid nab five-star ratings from NHTSA
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Ford's Fusion and Fusion Hybrid have both received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The rating is a big upgrade for the Fusion, which was completely redesigned for 2013. The previous model fell one star short of the top rating, after scoring only three stars in the frontal crash test and four stars in the side crash test and rollover evaluations. The 2013 Fusion received four stars in side crash and rollover testing and a full five stars in the front crash test.
Test results for the 2013 Fusion and Fusion Hybrid were greatly improved at least in part due to Ford's Personal Safety System. The system utilizes smarter sensors to gather crash data and tailor the car's restraint systems to the occupants. Seatbelt usage and seat position are taken into account to ensure airbags deploy with less pressure for smaller drivers, more for larger drivers.
The 2013 Fusion twins also received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ designation. Read the official press release below.
