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 spills SEMA all over its Expeditions
Sat, 01 Nov 2014If you're going to this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas, it's going to be tough to miss the Ford booth, simply for its size. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen customized examples of the 2015 Mustang and a quintet of modded Transits. The latest announced addition is a trio of upgraded 2015 Expeditions showing different takes on the recently refreshed SUV.
Any vehicle tuned by Dub Magazine needs to ride on massive wheels, and the Expedition (pictured above) that it has for SEMA is no exception. The SUV has 26-inch Dropstars wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, and, making them look even larger, the suspension is also lowered. The rest of the custom has some mild upgrades like mesh grilles in front, tinted windows, an integrated radar detector and new upholstery inside.
Tijn wants to boost the performance of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for its take on the Expedition. The company claims to add 40 horsepower to bring total output to a claimed 405 by upgrading the engine with a charge cooler from Vortech Engineering, a custom side exhaust and a custom tune. To match the extra grunt, the SUV also gets bigger brakes, an Air Lift suspension and 24-inch, copper-colored wheels with custom fender flares.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
