46 Ford Pickup With Title Ratrod Project Patina on 2040-cars
|
1946 Ford pickup. I have a clean Missouri title in my name. The V.I.N. on the title matches the number on the frame and the transmission. You will get a frame that is in good shape, the rear of the frame has some damage to the cross member and the rear frame rails have bit of damage. I don't think it is very serious and could be fixed easily. There is a banjo rear end mounted in the frame, it spins freely. I will include an 8.8 Ford rear end with 3:73 gears and a limited slip that came out of a 96 Explorer with a 5.0. I have two drive shafts, one for the 8.8 and another one that came with the truck. The front axle is a straight axle with drum brakes. The brakes do not work on the front or rear. I have it sitting on four tires that hold air so that it can be rolled around. The cab is in need of work, there are no floors except where the seat should be, there is no seat or interior of any kind. I have braced up the cab and tack welded the doors shut to help keep the cab in shape. It has a dash and instrument panel, though the gauges are in sad shape. The steering column has been removed I will include it but it is not really any good. There is no door glass and the window and door latches are inoperative and may be missing most of the mechanisms. There are no door handles. The right side windshield is there but foggy, the drivers side windshield is missing. Some of the windshield frame is still there. The rear glass is missing. The bed needs a floor and has a lot of dents and dings, the tailgate is there but has no way of making it functional without some fabrication work. The bed will need to be braced and rebuilt. The rear fenders are missing. There are no tail lights. The truck has no wiring or electrical system at all. The front clip has fenders and inner fenders and a grill. They are all dented and are in need of work, it does have headlights I don't know if they are any good though. I have running boards, they are in need of work. This truck needs everything, it is truly a project and it is completely covered with surface rust, I planned to make it a rat rod, but time and funding problems have forced my hand. I have other projects going so it is time to thin the herd. Please keep in mind that this is a disassembled non running vehicle that will need everything to make it roadworthy. There is no engine included but I do have the original transmission with V.I.N. stamped on it that matches the frame, I do not know the condition of the transmission. I have other parts that came with the truck that i will include, some of them may be useful others not so much. This truck will need to be towed. since it is in numerous pieces the buyer will need to come pick it up. I will help you load it, but the buyer is responsible for all shipping charges. Sold as is where is. Feel free to ask any questions, if I haven't covered it here.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake
Thu, 08 May 2014Cool 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 barely edges surging Chrysler for Canadian sales crown in best year ever
Thu, Jan 8 2015The auto industry in the US showed strong results through much of 2014 with sales regularly growing year-over-year for many brands. That same trend carried over in the Great White North, as well. Canada posted its best numbers ever with 1.85 million units sold, up about 100,000 vehicles over 2013. The country nearly had a new market leader, too. The big winner among our neighbors to the north in 2014 was Ford with 291,951 vehicles sold, up 3 percent from 2013, according to Reuters. That success also handed the company the sales crown for the fifth consecutive year. In large part, the strong result came from the company's popular trucks, which represented about 80 percent of overall sales. "Ford moved into the number one position in September and didn't look back," said a note to clients by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants quoted by Reuters. However, the Blue Oval didn't exactly take an overwhelming lead for the year. The company nearly had to hand over the sales trophy to FCA after the company rallied in the latter part of the year. The Italian-American conglomerate had its best results ever to nip at the Ford's heels and move 290,004 units for 2014, a 12-percent improvement from last year. Jeep especially helped the bottom line with over 50-percent growth, according to Reuters. Only two other brands were able to break the 200,000-vehicle barrier in Canada for 2014. General Motors came in third place overall with 249,800 sales, up 6.3 percent. The combined Toyota and Lexus also barely jumped the hurdle with 200,851 units moved, a 2.8 percent improvement.
