1953 marmon. the chassis (rear end, transfer case, transmission, engine, frame, front end, etc) are all 100% original to the truck. this was purchased on the pine ridge indian reservation in the early 80's. this has an almost perfect 1954 body with the original grille from a 53. the body is close to perfect. it had a rust out spot between the driver's door and fender. this was professionally repaired. here are the problems: the right front axle was broken. I had a machine shop fabricate a stub and it is currently installed to make a perfectly drivable truck. it needs a windshield and side window. it also needs a steering column. (I have located one out a 53 f-250 in cody that I will get if needed). this has all the body work done and is close to being able to paint. I have the original wheels that go with it. I also have the spare. this makes a total of 5 original wheels that go with it. it also has the original rear wheel spacers that are almost impossible to find. these are split rim. the engine is the original 53 flathead that was in it. the block was boiled and checked for cracks. the crankshaft was ground 10 under and have new pistons. the motor will have to be honed, otherwise all the engine parts, including a couple of carbs are all included. also have a new gasket kit and bearings for the engine. the frame is in excellent condition. the body had about 63,000 miles on it when it was purchased in eastern south Dakota and the original marmon had under 17,000 miles when the axle was broken (not a misprint) I have all the trim, inside and outside and the original marmon 4 wheel drive metal plaque that goes on the dash. TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS THAT I GOT: I had a question as to why I did not have more photos, the reason is I have two big block engines in front, as well a 1935 dodge truck and two motorcycles, as well as a barber chair, etc, stuffed into my garage. those of you who are married can now see the problem. I will be more than happy to move anything that needs to be moved to take photos of any area that is requested. it has the original spare tire carrier. the front of the box that is usually mashed is perfect, again, it may have been a mistake to put a 54 body on a 53 truck, but the body was close to perfect. actually the 53 body had almost no dents, but had more rust that I did not wanted to deal with. I have the door handles. the bench seat is in very good condition structurally, but needs a new cover put on it. the floor pans had absolutely no rust on them. yes, all of the split rim wheels are original to the truck. the brakes are all new, as well as the master cylinder. the wheel cylinders have also had kits put in them. if a steering column is needed, I have access to one and it will be at no additional cost. the entire body and box were removed, the frame was cleaned and painted and put new cab mounts kits in it when it was put back together. I also have the original paint codes for the wheels, body, and grille. the body was Sheridan Blue. thanks and please feel free to ask any additional questions. the bed is close to perfect and does not have all the rust and dents that most of these have. the main reason I bought this body, is that the bed was close to perfect. I have made a pine bed for it, but oak was original and probably should be made of oak. it needs completely rewired. all the gauges are there, including the original speedometer with the correct mileage showing. it kinds of pains me to sell this, but I am in the process od restoring 2 other cars and 2 motorcycles and something has to give. please feel free to e-mail or call at 307-899-0776 with any questions, thanks. I will add revisions to this listing as questions are asked. this has a clean south Dakota title and can be inspected at any time in cody, Wyoming. additional photos of specific areas will be provided. call and I will send additional photos, as this site does not allow use of the dreaded e-word, thanks. whoops, forgot to respond to the other question: these are actually f-250 running boards, not the 1/2 ton ones that are normally added onto. |

2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).
The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed
Tue, Jun 30 2015Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
