Two Ford Trucks F3 And F5 on 2040-cars
Choteau, Montana, United States
Engine:Flathead Eight
Drive Type: Rear
Make: Ford
Mileage: 0
Model: Other Pickups
Warranty: Vehicle does NOT have an existing warranty
Trim: goofy eBay here
Offered for auction are TWO 1948 Ford F model Trucks - one is an F3 and is nearly complete, including the stock Flathead engine. The other is an F5 with cab, fenders and hood on two ton frame. It does not have engine or trans. These cabs will likely interchange with 1948, 1949, 1950 and perhaps '51 and '52 cabs.
The F5 has been in the family since the 1950s and is very low mileage and virtually rust free (cab, floorboards, etc, with minor surface rust) The F3 was purchased many years ago to perhaps renew the use of the F% or to run separately. It is, as you can see (the red one) unrestored.
The F3 one ton is also very nearly rust free, except in the base of the box and the floor of the box itself.
Both trucks have dents and the dash of the F5 was modified to accept a later radio many years ago.
No attempt has been made to crank the flathead engine and so no assertions regarding it can be made, except that it is intact and accessories are present.
The two are both candidates for restoration, perhaps with other parts. Either would greatly help an otherwise good running truck that needed a solid cab - which both of these are.
Both cabs have broken glass and dents. The hood of the F5 is probably damaged beyond anything but a major rehab.
I have only one title - for the F5, and will supply "AS IS" Bill of Sale for all parts (both identified trucks)
I will also accommodate the dismantling of the F5 if the buyer wants only the sheet metal parts (for a fixed additional cost we can discuss and agree upon ahead of time.)
The Pluses:
* The F3 is nearly complete. I may miss noting the absence of a few parts, but they will be small ones.
* You might see on the surface of the two cabs but it is just that, a thin layer of easily removable surface rust.
* These are Montana vehicles, for at least the past 40 years. As such, much of the corrosion and rust issues of other regional cars is not there.
* Some of the flat glass may need replacing, but then that is no problem.
* There is a clear title in my hot little hand.
The frame, rocker panels and underbelly appear to be very solid. The trucks appear to have never been wrecked or substantively repaired. There is no visible bondo or other filler anywhere.
The Negatives:
* There is isolated rust. The bed of the F3 has rust on the sides of it. both floor pans seem very solid, indeed.
* There are a couple of the flat glass windows which are cracked - easily replaceable just about anywhere.
* There are a number of minor dents and the F5 hood, espceially, is pretty dinged.
* The interiors are largely complete. Some of the nobs and handles are missing.
* It needs all the standard attention any unrestored 60 odd-year old trucks would likely need.
This is an awesome project package or very nice replacement cabs for rolling stock you may have.

Please look at the pictures and let me know if you need more. I would be happy to respond to individual issues and questions.
This is an actual AUCTION. I do have a very low reserve on the vehicles, but it is half what one might expect for this model in this condition. Bid to win!
Buyer is responsible for transportation of the car from my doorstep, but I will assist in any way I can.
A deposit of $500 is expected within 24 hours of the end of the auction via PayPal unless arranged otherwise in advance. The entire balance is due with PayPal, cash or bank wire within 14 days of the end of the auction.
The vehicles do not leave until funds are cleared and personal and cashier’s checks are not OK.
You MAY leave the trucks, once paid for, here until July 8, 2013, giving you an opportunity to come get the car as part of a vacation to MONTANA. See Glacier Park, just 85 miles away (and leave the trailer here for when you are ready to load up and go home), tour through Yellowstone coming or going; visit the Lewis and Clark Trail or float the most scenic parts of the Upper Missouri River. Come, Play, and take a new project away when you head home.
Please look at my many years of 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. I have bought several cars and hundreds of car parts on Ebay over the years and will certainly try to treat you the way I'd like to be treated

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller
Sat, Sep 26 2015Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford HQ gets giant solar array, Chevy City Express gets 24 MPG city
Sat, Aug 16 2014Ford will be building Michigan's largest solar array at its Dearborn headquarters. With funding from DTE Energy, the solar carport will provide covered parking, as well 30 charging stations for electric vehicles. The array is expected to generate 1.13 million kWh per year for Ford's operations, and offset 794 metric tons of carbon emissions. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
