1957 Ford F100 V8 .292 Y-block Stepside Long Bed Pick-up 90,412 Mi Hot Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Longmont, Colorado, United States
|
Here we have a very nice 1957 Ford F100 V8 Stepside Long Bed Pick-up Project in Very Good Condition. Truck has spent it's life in Colorado dry climate and has very minimal rust. Look at the front end, very straight and all the chrome trim is intact in excellent condition. I recently purchased this truck to restore, but other projects are taking precedence so I am going to pass this one on. The original .292 V8 motor is in the back of the truck as shown as well as the radiator. It is missing the original 3-speed transmission and drive shaft. The steering and brakes are working and the truck moves about well. The previous owner started to restore the truck in 1991 and dropped the ball shortly after he pulled the motor. He said the motor ran well then, but who knows now. The project sat at his business till now and the engine was on a pallet inside the warehouse. Over the years, the transmission and drive shaft got lost. I have never seen a nicer original 1957 dash, it is in beautiful condition, nothing damaged and all there. Under the hood, everything is still there and looks like it would be easy to hook up an engine. All wiring looks good and the speedometer cable is there. Cross member is in place, just needs the drive train, engine, transmission and drive shaft. The truck has incredible patina, I started waxing the right front quarter panel and door, if the whole truck was polished, it could be clear coated, the patina is so cool. Passenger door has been replaced as well as the right front fender, passenger door is missing the inside cover panel. All the glass is intact and the windows and door locks and latches all work, I have 2 ignition keys and 1 door key. The front window has a hole, but not from a bullet, and the back glass and passenger window are cracked. The bed has a few dents on the passenger side that can be straightened, and there is a donor bed on the ground behind the truck, it has a good tailgate and other parts if needed, hard to find these step side long beds, I will dismantle this bed down to 2 long sides, tailgate, font, and some bottom slat pieces, most all of it just un-bolts. I will load the other bed in the back of the truck with the engine for transport. The only real rust problem is the inside cab corners on the floor board as shown and the running board steps. Should be easy to fix and make solid, this was a flaw in the construction of these, the brackets under there held mud and moisture and caused rust. Other than that and a few dents, should be easy to fix up, truck is really very straight, especially the front end, it looks great. I have a clear Colorado title and the truck can be seen and/or picked up in Longmont, Colorado. I will be happy to help loading if you want to send a trucking company to pick it up, I won't handle the shipping though. Any questions please email me or call 303-507-0045, Mike.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns
Tue, Dec 29 2015Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
