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. |

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Reflecting on the Ford GT on its 10-year anniversary
Thu, 10 Apr 2014Ten years ago, during the bright-eyed enthusiasm of the early 2000s and before the collective automotive industry did its best Titanic impression, we had the Ford GT. An everyman's supercar like there'd never been (remember, this was before 638-horsepower Corvettes were a thing), the GT arrived with a supercharged, 5.4-liter V8 that produced 550 horsepower and graced this retro-styled rocket with an easy, sub-four-second sprint to 60 miles per hour.
Equal to the GT's performance were its looks. Inspired by the GT40 racers that dominated Le Mans and bested Ferrari in the 1960s, the sleek, low, almost-reptilian look of the GT was the absolute pinnacle of the retro styling that so defined the early 2000s.
Crank and Piston put together a video celebrating the ten-year-old GT, arguing that Ford is a bit too busy with the next-gen Mustang, which turns 50 next week, to do it themselves. In the short clip, there is gratuitous engine noise and supercharger whine, not to mention scenes of the white-on-red GT prowling the deserts and streets of Dubai. It's a bit short, but very nicely shot. Scroll down, have a look and be sure to turn up those speakers before getting started.
