1950 F1 California truck that I received from a family member who bought it from the gentleman who restored it. This is a very nice truck that has over 20k invested in it and runs and drives very nice. It could use some finishing touches to make it perfect (see below). I've driven it less than 10 miles and have no need for it.

This is an honest description based on my careful observation but inspections are welcome and encouraged.

Body is completely rust free and laser straight with deep red paint. Only a few minor nicks and a narrow dent on roof (out of view) and a small crack in paint by wheel (see pick). Paint is excellent otherwise. Truck has always been covered and garaged.

Stainless is excellent and chrome is very nice to good. The front hood badges could use re-chroming to be perfect.

Engine is a small block Ford/2V. I was told that it was rebuilt and it runs as such, doesn't smoke. I believe it's a 302. C4 transmission that shift smoothly and positively. This truck breaks the tires loose easily.

New dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers.

New professionally installed Mustang II suspension with power steering, disc front brakes and new steering column with tilt.

Truck stops safely but requires some effort. I'm including a $500 power booster unit (brand new) that is specifically designed for bolt-in application of this truck when upgraded with Mustang II front end.

Electrical works (lights/wipers etc.). Turn signals need to be connected to new steering column, but older bolt on signal unit works. Optima battery.

Glass is excellent with no cracks or delamination. Some window rubber is showing age and could be replaced, although it's weather tight.

Interior is clean and comfortable without tears or stains; velour all around. Heater and radio work.

Wheels and tires are brand new.

Bed is diamond plate with nice fitting cover

Tail lights work fine and I'm including new set of 34 Ford lights that look better in my opinion.

This is a very nice truck that gets compliments. The drivetrain/supsension/brakes were all professionally installed (excellent welding on Mustang II install for example) and it runs and drives very nice. I'm only selling the truck because I don't have room for and use for it.

I don't like surprises (for you or me) so if you have questions please ask and if you'd like I'm happy to accommodate. The truck is located in ZIP 93465 which is and easy 3.5 hour drive from the Port of LA or Oakland for International buyers. I'll work with shipping companies but shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I require full payment within 7 days and there is no warranty with this truck.

Thanks for looking and please let me know if you have any questions!

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
