 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!

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities. BARRETT-JACKSON REACHES HISTORIC HIGHS FOR SALES, CROWDS AND CELEBRITY APPEARANCES IN SCOTTSDALE • Barrett-Jackson sold 1,611 vehicles, which went for more than $130 million (unaudited), smashing records in the company's 44-year history during the 10-day auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale • Automobilia sales nearly tripled world records, with 2,000 pieces selling for more than $6.55 million • Celebrity attendance and crowds, along with ratings on Discovery and Velocity, spike SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Jan. 18, 2015 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car AuctionsTM, reached historic highs during the Scottsdale auction at WestWorld from Jan. 10-18, 2015.

The Ron Pratte Collection alone brought in over $40.44 million in vehicle and automobilia sales.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
