1948 Ford 'F1'  1/2 ton pickup.  Original 6-Volt electrical sys., 226 c.i., 95 hp, Flathead 6-Cyl. engine,  6.8:1 compression ratio, 1 barrel carb. 3.73:1 axle ratio, Non-Synchromesh 4-speed trans. w/granny gear.

I have owned the truck for 20 years.  Purchased it from a man who brought it to Michigan from Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee.  The restoration was done in 1993 and I was given a few photos of the process. 

I've had the carb, brakes, generator and radiator rebuilt, the gas tank dipped & coated.  I have added a Dennis Carpenter 'RED' headliner & kick panel kit, beauty rings / hub caps and a quality 'California' cover.

I have done the standard tune-ups plus changed the hoses and belt through the years but the engine has had ' no wrenching ' ,  " If it isn't broke DON"T fix it" !   

This was an old farm truck in its hay day.  The engine runs strong but it is 66 years old.  It is wound tight between 55 - 60 mph with the factory 3.73:1 gear.

Ford forced to recall Escape over fire risk yet again

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

Recalls happen. Automakers hope they won't, but they do. And that's alright, for the most part, because cars are designed (and to a large degree still made) by humans, and humans make mistakes. So we forgive them, as long as the problem is resolved. Only in the case of the Ford Escape, the problem seems to keep coming back.
That's why Ford is calling in the Escape yet again due to fire concerns. The issue revolves around problematic fuel lines in 9,469 units manufactured between October 5, 2011, and July 11, 2012, all of which use the 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine.
As you yourself may recall, the Escape was subject to a string of recalls last year that resulted in a $17 million fine. One of them was over this very same issue, which Ford apparently didn't rectify the first time around. Let's hope this time is the last time.

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.
