1951 Ford F Series Pick Up Truck Solid Body & Frame Hot Street Rat Rod Flathead on 2040-cars
Reading, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I hate to sell this because I
was always looking for a SOLID pick up truck of this era and as soon as I found
this one, my storage facility is being sold to settle an estate. This would be an excellent nostalgic truck to
put together with just sealer for paint and have some fast fun with it or for a
restoration. This is for the complete body and frame with no engine or
transmission. The trim, fuel tank, heater, radiator, door and window mechanisms,
etc… all appear to be there. The glass is there along with new weather
stripping and seals. Since the glass is already
out, I would recommend putting new glass in and it is readily available or the
pieces that come with it can be used for patterns. The frame was cleaned and
painted black with original front axle and it has a disc brake conversion. The engine and transmission mounts have not
been altered so if you want to still use a Ford Flathead motor, the steel
mounts for that are included. I believe the rear may be from a 1953 truck but
cannot confirm that. The body is VERY solid,
especially the cab and doors. The
fenders may have had some repair work done but this truck would take very
little in body and prep work to make it look great. The bed and tailgate is not
bad at all and the running boards will need a little rust repair but are good.
I have learned the hard way that it is best to buy something in good shape and
pay a little more than to pay big bucks for repair work. I took pictures of the parts
that go with the truck and it appears most of everything is there. There are some duplicate parts like wing
window frames and window crank mechanism (see pictures) Used and reproduction parts are readily
available. Below is a list of the new
rubber and seals that are included: ·
Division window
bar and channel ·
Rear window
rubber ·
Windshield rubber ·
Back of front
fender to cowl seal ·
Door seal kit ·
Vent window
rubber seals ·
Cowl vent seal ·
Gas tank neck
grommet ·
Cowl lacing kit Truck is located in Sinking
Spring, Pa which is West of Reading and is for sale locally. Winning bidder pays $500 non-refundable
deposit within 48 hours of the end of auction. It is buyers responsibility to
pick it up or make full shipping arrangements. This comes with a bill of sale only– no title. The missing title is not an issue because you
can get new title based on the truck being put together with salvage parts. |

2016 Ford Explorer embarks at the LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Twenty-five years since its debut in 1990, Ford will celebrate a quarter century of Explorer models next year with the debut of a refreshed 2016 model at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. The Blue Oval is keeping mum on hard details about the updated SUV for now, but the brand promises, "a new look, added capability and additional driver-assist technology," in its announcement.
Company marketing boss Jim Farley elaborated a little more on what to expect. "The new Explorer is still the SUV America fell in love with - a vehicle built for the perfect family adventure," he said in the release that you're welcome to read down below.
An updated Explorer is a pretty big deal for Ford's bottom line. Worldwide, SUVs and crossovers account for about 23 percent of Ford's sales, and the segment is projected to grow to around 29 percent by 2020. Ford further says that SUVs and CUVs are the world's quickest growing segment with demand up 88 percent since 2008.
NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
