You are bidding on a real sharp 1947 1/2 ton Ford truck that has had a frame off restoration. The color is an older Ford color that has some metallic in it, very eye catching. Lots of beautiful chrome! All the bumpers have been rechromed. It has a 239 cubic inch Flathead motor. The short block was done at Motor City Flathead. Bored 20 over, mild cam with aluminum high compression head and aluminum center manifold. A 4 barrel carburator, headers with dual exhaust, new Mallory distributor, pressurized oil system and filter and 5 speed mustang transmission. The only known problems I am aware of are: speedometer is not connected, but as it is the original one it only goes up to 60mph; it has a small chip on the lower front almost behind the bumper about 1-1/2" and a 1/4" scratch on the edge of the tailgate. See the pictures on both of these. It is always garaged and protected from the Michigan weather. It has only been driven for car shows and runs good.
I would encourage anyone seriously interested to look at it prior to the end of the auction.There is no warranty either expressed, written or assumed and the seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs. No allowance or set aside will be made due to any incorrectness, imperfection or defect and is being sold as is but I have described it as accurately as possible. The buyer has the responsibility to inspect the vehicle and make the decision as to the condition and value. Take a look at the pictures and ask any questions prior to bidding. Thank you for looking and good luck in your bidding.

Correction: Most all the chrome has been rechromed except for the bumpers, they did not need to be due to the condition.

Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
From CrabWalks at dawn to post-testing sushi: An inside look at Autoblog’s Tech of the Year Award
Thu, Dec 1 2022TROY, Mich. — On a chilly fall morning, Senior Editor John Snyder rolled into a sleepy suburban park tucked away next to a cemetery a few miles north of Detroit. Driving diagonally — CrabWalking — in the GMC Hummer EV, he made quite the entrance as he maneuvered across the parking lot to the bemusement of Autoblog editors and a few curious park-goers up for their early morning runs. Snyder got everyoneÂ’s attention, and as we evaluate the latest wave of technologies transforming the automotive industry, pizazz matters. We added "wow factor" to our criteria for the 2022 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award, in keeping with the times. The HummerÂ’s CrabWalk feature might have won, had wowness been the only criteria, but we also scored the technologies on significance and how well they work. As it was, the Hummer finished a competitive second this year, behind FordÂ’s Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch, which make towing and hauling easier for modern truck owners. The Genesis GV60Â’s Biometrics was within striking distance in third place, bringing the facial recognition and fingerprint tech commonly used in phones to your car. For more on FordÂ’s win — its second straight Autoblog Technology of the Year Award — read Road Test Editor Zac PalmerÂ’s complete recap. Many have asked: Why do Tech of the Year? For Autoblog, itÂ’s been a point of pride for nearly a decade. In the early days it was a way to differentiate ourselves from print magazines, some of which have been giving out car of the year awards since the early days of the Cold War. With Tech of the Year, we seek to highlight the ways experiencing a vehicle is changing. It was true in 2013 and resonates even more as we head into 2023. Cars and transportation have changed more in the past decade than in arguably the previous four. At its most basic experience, driving a 1985 Buick LeSabre with a decent radio and comfy interior was not all that different from driving a 2005 Buick Lacrosse. Just a few years later, many cars had touchscreens, the internet and some means of driver assistance. Ford joins Tesla as the only two-time winner of Tech of the Year. The Blue Oval captured the award last year for its Pro Power Onboard generator. Tesla won in 2014 for its Supercharger network, and the Model S won in 2016, when we briefly gave out a “technology car” of the year award, in addition to honoring a particular feature.
