If you're looking for an early Ford Pickup that needs absolutely nothing...................here it is!!! This is a "get in, drive and enjoy" vehicle that runs very well and comes completely finished.
This 1949 F-1 1/2 ton pickup has been fully frame-on restored. Recent additions to this gorgeous truck include paint, a new wood bed and side rails, new wide white radial tires, re-chromed vent window frames, front and rear chrome bumpers, stainless steel front grill and taillight assemblies, painted wheels, hubcaps, trim rings and tailgate chains. A dual exhaust system was installed exiting the rear of the truck with chrome tailpipe extensions.
As you can see from the pictures, the interior is like new with modern gauges, a beautifully upholstered front seat, a new steering wheel, great interior paint and chrome and a new stainless steel rear view mirror.
Under the hood we start with great running flathead in a fully detailed engine compartment, a conversion to 12 volt, a new battery with disconnect, a new starter, electric fuel pump, fuel filter, pressure regulator, new carburetor, petronix electronic ignition and an aluminum radiator.
This great truck starts on the first bump of the starter and runs like a new car. It goes down the road straight and true and handles extremely well. No expense has been spared on the frame-on restoration and it shows. This is probably one of the nicest drivers we have seen in a long time. This great truck is also being listed on other websites and therefore we reserve the right to end the auction at any time should we receive another suitable offer.
Just a note: mileage listed is incorrect. Site would not allow the use of the word "exempt" since true mileage is unknown. Engine runs extremely well and by all standards, it appears to have been rebuilt but we can not verify same and want to be totally honest about all of the information we give out.
If you would like to discuss any aspects of the fine truck you can contact me at 585-314-8000. Thanks, Brian Page

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
'Car Wars' says Ford, Honda to pick up share, Fiat-Chrysler ambitions downplayed
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."
