Here is another from my collection up for sale.  A 1955 Ford F100 original survivor. The clean and clear Texas title is ready to be transferred over to the new owner.  The vin shows that this is an original truck out of the Dallas plant and goldenrod yellow since day one.  Also shows the 239 v8 and three on the tree as original as well.  A real survivor which was last registered in 84.  My only goal on this truck was to bring it back to running condition since it had been sitting untouched for years under a cover in a garage.  I did a complete oil change with filter, new fuel filter, fuel lines front to back and complete gas tank clean out.  I completely disassembled the carb and cleaned it, I lubed and oiled all rockers,checked all of the pushrods, installed new intake gaskit when going back on as well. I had the original started rebuilt and a installed a new factory fuel pump.  The first start was good with no unusual noise or smoke of anykind. I ran it last night in 38 degree weather for about 20 minutes and I believe it awake and nearly ready to go after years of sleep.  The only thing that I would do is new brakes, a battery charge and possibly an alternator to get it road worthy.  I forgot to mention, I also just installed a full set of 5 new cooper tires on it. 

As you can see it is very straight. I have found one rust area inside the rear driver fender at the bottom on the edge.  Probably  one of the best places for it to be. It cannot be seen from the outside either.

The interior is nice as well. the windshield has a crack but can still be bought online.  the side glass is new. I also have new handles andcranks that have not yet been installed. The rubbers all good too. This really is a survivor.  WIth a buff and polish it would be real nice, i have not even cleaned it. The truck could be back on the road in a weekend!

I might consider trade on a 69 chevelle if anyone has one.

Thank you for looking, I will be happy to help in arranging shipping or help in loading the truck.

Sold as is where is.

I have had a couple of emails asking if this truck is show quality.I thought I would say that it is super clean and straight but not show quality. It is a nice and cool 58 year old truck. Thanks for all of the interest.

Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells

Sat, Jan 10 2015

Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
