1948 Ford F1 Ranch Pickup Truck Short Bed Original Unrestored West Coast Patina on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
1948 Ford F1 1/2 ton short bed 2WD pickup truck with original 95 HP 226 straight 6 and bullet proof 4 speed on the floor transmission. This Nevada ranch truck has been well maintained through the years and is rust free in the cab and floor boards. It has the original factory assembly line date on the fire wall. All of the gauges in the instrument panel function properly. The engine was rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago and does not smoke, use oil or run hot. The carb was recently rebuilt and the truck starts right up each time and runs strong. The drive train has been well maintained using Amsoil in the rear end, trans and engine. This truck is not a fake barn find, it's a maintained original truck. There is no rust in the cab or floors. There are some rust spots near the grille as seen in the photos. The wonderful patina on the hood is superficial rust only, no flaking or thin spots. All the glass is good no cracks. The headlight wiring harness needs to be replaced and many of the original wires are brittle. The tires are fine but getting dry and should be replaced if running on the highway. The truck was painted Hugger orange in the 1970s. Would make a great rat rod shop truck or continue on as a family ranch truck. I have the clear Nevada title in hand.
I did two walk around videos of the exterior and interior. Click or paste the following links to your browser and walk with me. I'm happy to answer questions and may end the auction if it sells locally. Whoever gets our little ranch truck will be happy. It's not perfect but shows its age well and has withstood the test of time. |

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
