This 1953 Ford pick-up is being sold in the condition in which I bought it.  Wanted it as a project and never had time to work on it, though it was off to a good start when I got it.  Chasis, suspension, wheels and brakes are all in good shape. The 305 V8 Chevy engine runs good.  This is definitly a drivable vehicle and I have used it to get to work on a regular basis. The three speed automatic transmission needs some work.  It makes a ticking sound in first gear, and it shifts a little hard.  Fluid has leaked from the bellhousing at times.

Body work and paint job had been done by the previous owner, but over the last three years some chips and cracks have developed and there are a couple rust bubbles begining.  Both driver and passenger side windows work, but the passenger side vent mirror is broken.  The right side bed side panel has a small hole. (paint chips, rust, and damage seen in pics)
Bed boards have been replaced and are in good condition, but unfinished.  There is no tail gate.
The interior has been repainted red.  Original bench seat has been recovered in red vinyl.  The cardboard door panels and kick panels are warped from moisture, but the paint underneath is good.  New Dolphin gauges are set in wood and all work, but speedometer needs to be recalibrated.  Most interior accesories are missing, (i.e. rearview, visors, knobs)  Heater and windshield wipers are not functional.  Head lights and LED tail lights work, but after a recent storm, the turning blinkers shorted out.  There are some wireing issues beween the ignition switch and the starter motor and some times I have to give it a quick jump to get it started.
I like this truck a lot and love driving it around town, but like I said, I never had time to work on it.  It would make a great project and, with a little work, would make a good "rat rod" style truck or even a daily driver.

Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014



The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected

Thu, 29 May 2014

Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."

Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]

Mon, 03 Jun 2013

"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
