Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner.

Offered for auction is one 1948 Ford F5 model Truck with cab, fenders and hood on two ton frame. It does not have engine or trans. These cabs will likely interchange with 1948, 1949, 1950 and perhaps '51 and '52 cabs.
The F5 has been in the family since the 1950s and is very low mileage and virtually rust free (cab, floorboards, etc, with minor surface rust)
The F3 one ton is also very nearly rust free, except in the base of the box and the floor of the box itself.
It has dents and the dash of the F5 was modified to accept a later radio many years ago.
No attempt has been made to crank the flathead engine and so no assertions regarding it can be made, except that it is intact and accessories are present.
It is a candidates for restoration, perhaps with other parts. It would greatly help an otherwise good running truck that needed a solid cab.
Cab has broken glass and dents. The hood of the F5 is probably damaged beyond anything but a major rehab.
I have a title - for the F5, and will supply "AS IS" Bill of Sale for all parts (both identified trucks)
I will also accommodate the dismantling of the F5 if the buyer wants only the sheet metal parts (for a fixed additional cost we can discuss and agree upon ahead of time.)
The Pluses:
* You might see on the surface of the two cabs but it is just that, a thin layer of easily removable surface rust.
* It is a Montana vehicle, for at least the past 40 years. As such, much of the corrosion and rust issues of other regional cars is not there.
* Some of the flat glass may need replacing, but then that is no problem.
* There is a clear title in my hot little hand.
The frame, rocker panels and underbelly appear to be very solid. The trucks appear to have never been wrecked or substantively repaired. There is no visible bondo or other filler anywhere.
The Negatives:
* There is isolated rust. floor pans seem very solid, indeed.
* There are a couple of the flat glass windows which are cracked - easily replaceable just about anywhere.
* There are a number of minor dents and the F5 hood, espceially, is pretty dinged.
* The interior is largely complete. Some of the nobs and handles are missing.
* It needs all the standard attention any unrestored 60 odd-year old trucks would likely need.
This is an awesome project package or very nice replacement cabs for rolling stock you may have.
**********
Please look at the pictures and let me know if you need more. I would be happy to respond to individual issues and questions.
This is an actual AUCTION. I do have a very low reserve on the vehicles, but it is half what one might expect for this model in this condition. Bid to win!
Buyer is responsible for transportation of the car from my doorstep, but I will assist in any way I can.
A deposit of $500 is expected within 24 hours of the end of the auction via PayPal unless arranged otherwise in advance. The entire balance is due with PayPal, cash or bank wire within 14 days of the end of the auction.
The vehicles do not leave until funds are cleared and personal and cashier’s checks are not OK.
You MAY leave the trucks, once paid for, here until July 8, 2013, giving you an opportunity to come get the car as part of a vacation to MONTANA. See Glacier Park, just 85 miles away (and leave the trailer here for when you are ready to load up and go home), tour through Yellowstone coming or going; visit the Lewis and Clark Trail or float the most scenic parts of the Upper Missouri River. Come, Play, and take a new project away when you head home.
Please look at my many years of 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. I have bought several cars and hundreds of car parts on Ebay over the years and will certainly try to treat you the way I'd like to be treated
I can be reached at 406 4 six 6 two 644. Thank you for your time and interest!

Xcar gets the scoop on Ford's strategy for the GT at Le Mans in 2016
Fri, Jul 3 2015Ford's plan to return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 with the latest GT might have been one of the worst kept secrets in motorsports in recently memory. Even before the road car debuted at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, rumors were flying about the Blue Oval's strategy. The wait for the official announcement just before this year's race was certainly a long one, but it was probably worthwhile just to see the competition version's spectacular looks. Xcar recently got the chance to interview Ford about the company's objectives for the new racer's development. Both the GT racing and street programs are meant as ways to advance cutting-edge technology and potentially let it trickle down to less-expensive models in the future. This is especially the case when it comes to finding ways to make carbon fiber cheaper and better. Of course, the supercar is also a showcase of what Ford can do competitively, and apparently there are patent-pending suspension parts the company isn't even talking about yet. Ford would love to score a class victory at Le Mans next year, and is pretty clear here and in its earlier promo video that it sees Ferrari as a major rival in the race. While that makes sense historically, the cross-town competitors at Corvette could be an even bigger challenger. That squad has a more recent legacy of success in the 24-hour challenge, including a victory in the GTE-Pro class this year. Related Video:
Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford
Thu, 22 May 2014It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
MotorWeek remembers pre-EcoBoost Ford with the Thunderbird TurboCoupe
Thu, Feb 26 2015Sometimes it feels great to embrace nostalgia for a trip down memory lane, and MotorWeek indulges that occasional desire with its regular Retro Review series. This time, the long-lived show goes back to the '80s to check out two of the top performance vehicles in the Ford lineup at the time – the 1987 Thunderbird TurboCoupe and Mustang GT. Both models had just received thorough refreshes after several years on the market. Long before an EcoBoost badge ever met its models, Ford made early forays into experimenting with turbocharging on vehicles like the T-Bird TurboCoupe. Based on MotorWeek's assessment, the company was on the right track. The boosted 2.3-liter four-cylinder was apparently a bit coarse but offered 190 horsepower with little turbo lag, compared to 155 hp the year before. The Mustang GT is likely the more-fondly remembered of these performance Fords today and provides an interesting point of comparison against the TurboCoupe. MotorWeek found some faults with the 'Stang, though. While it was quick for the time with a sprint to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, the 'car was described as "a nose-heavy beast" for its handling. And for a look at Ford's future in turbocharging – the GT will have an EcoBoost powerplant – check out our Related Video:
