1950 FORD PICKUP (NOT FOR SUNDAY DRIVING)

You are looking at a 1950 Ford Pickup that is anything but standard or run of the mill.  I have to give a little background to this vehicle before describing it.  This was my father n laws truck.  He wanted something that would burn the tires and go real fast and he wanted something different.  He used to race NHRA back in the mid to late sixties and early seventies.  He had been working on this truck for several years trying to complete it and finally did.  Unfortunately the truck was completed several weeks before he passed away.  He died of cancer last October and was too sick to actually see the truck before he passed away.  I am selling the truck for my mother n law.

Nova Front Stub

Rebuilt Turbo 400 Transmission using performance rebuild kit

Ford 9 inch differential

B&M Pro Stick Shifter

Mickey Thompson Tires

Centerline racing rims

Battery and gas tank placed in .40 aluminum fabricated bed of truck
 
The engine and Transmission have less than 30 miles on them (just enough to get it home from the shop that finished it). 
 
Now for some of the bad:
 
This vehicle has some rough spots on the body.  I tried to show all "bubbles" from rust under the paint.  The paint itself is a little rough and there are also some scratches that I tried to show.  The passenger side door doesn't open from the outside.  Some of the gages inside don't work - I only drove it from the garage that put it together to my father n law's garage.  I will be happy to answer any questions about the truck (309-337-6322).  The bottom line is that he wanted something to go real fast and wasn't worried about how it looked initially. 
 
A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 48hrs of the final winning bid.  I can also help arrange local shipping if needed but buyer is responsible for cost of shipping.  If you are not satisfied with purchase I can arrange to refund the $500.00 deposit.  Like I said I am doing my best in describing a vehicle I know little about.

Inside Ford's high-tech climate chamber

Sat, Dec 27 2014

There are two ways an automaker can test its vehicles in extreme climates: it can send said vehicle around the world – from Death Valley to the Arctic Circle – in search of the harshest weather, or it can recreate those conditions in an enclosed environment. We're sure that many automakers undertake some combination of both, but in this latest video clip, Ford shows us around inside it's state-of-the-art climate chamber. At its Driveability Test Facility in Allen Park, MI – inaugurated in 2010 just across the street from the Roush Technology Center – Ford can simulate all sorts of extreme conditions. It can drop the temperature down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit or raise it up to 130, and take it up to a simulated 12,000 feet above sea level or drop it down to 280 feet below. blast it with 150-mile-per-hour winds. It can control the level of humidity, approximate the intensity of the sun and even blast the test vehicle with artificial snow, just like your favorite ski resort. The facility strikes us as an engineering feat as impressive as some of the vehicles it's used to test, but don't take our word for it – scope it out for yourself in this brief two-minute video clip, which even includes some helpful tips for winter driving this holiday season and beyond.

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.

Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.
