1959 Ford F250 / LWB Step Side Pickup
A Real Barn / Vineyard Find

Up for auction is a complete, unmolested 1959 F250 LWB Step Side truck, we acquired this as a truck to part out as that is our
main business parting out trucks for restoration projects and felt it was worth salvaging because of its history and
it is all original except the bed*, even the seat appears to have the original upholstery.
 Current bed came from a Cal Trans Maintenance truck. The 223 6 cylinder engine runs beautifully, engine
does not smoke or knock. Overall truck is in good to fair condition, it does not have much rust and the only real rust through
is shown at the corners of the doors. We have rebuilt and replaced master cylinders, clutch slave, wheel cylinders and done a complete brake job.
 The gas tank and fuel system has been flushed, Carburetor rebuilt and fuel pump changed. Also a major tune up has been done.
We have a clear California title and bill of sale for the vehicle. so if you were to register it I do believe you could drive it away.
As long as you don't go far. It does need a set of tires, we put a set of used 16.5" wheels and tires on the truck as it had 4 flats
on the original 17.5" rims when we acquired it, the original rims do come with the truck, if one wants to be totally authentic.

All of this said here is the history of the truck as we know it. It spent its life as a working vineyard vehicle in the Napa Valley of California.
The truck originally came with a step side bed which as happened in the day was discarded in favor of a home made flatbed for
hauling grape boxes from the fields to processing. Truck was parked behind a barn in 1999 and basically forgotten.
We acquired it about a year ago and have had it in a storage yard waiting to be parted out. We realized it should
be given another chance once we reviewed its condition. In our clean up tore off the old wooden flat bed
, we also
had a LWB step side bed in nice condition to bring it back to more original
so this is what we are doing.
If buyer does not want that we can accommodate.

Please look carefully at the photos of this truck before bidding and please contact us to answer more questions.

Vehicle is located at our shop in Sacramento, CA where we maintain regular business hours if you should wish to look at the truck.

We ship world wide and regularly ship to Europe, New Zealand,
Australia and South America if you are an
overseas buyer we have excellent references regarding our abilities for shipping.

Chris Harris drives the 2015 Ford Mustang Over There

Thu, Jul 30 2015

Ford makes some cars for America, and some cars for overseas. Sometimes those models cross over the ocean in one direction or another, but the Mustang has historically been a pony car meant for America. That all changes with the new model, though. It's not that Ford didn't design the new Mustang for American customers – it's just that it also refined it for markets overseas that aren't quite used to the live-axle brutality to which muscle car enthusiasts in the US have grown accustomed. Now that the Mustang is being offered in Europe – and in the UK with right-hand drive – it was only a matter of time before Chris Harris got his hands on one. And that's just what he's done for this latest video clip, taking a Mustang GT for a spin on both road and track in Wales. That's right, Harris is piloting the V8 model, not the EcoBoost four. So what does he think about an American expat shipped to the British isles? You'll want to watch the ten-minute clip yourself to gather his full impressions. But the long and short of it is that, while Harris doesn't think it's quite the match for something like a BMW M3, the Mustang doesn't cost anywhere near as much as the Bimmer. And that goes a long way, especially with all that rubber laid down on the track in the process.

Tanner Foust gets eponymous hotted-up Ford Focus ST from Cobb Tuning

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

Racer and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust has partnered up with Cobb Tuning to create a special-edition Ford Focus ST. The limited-edition hatches will come packing a reflashed ECU, special intercooler, tweaked intake and freer-flowing exhaust for up to 20 percent more power than the stock creation. Cobb says that the changes should push the final dyno figure to above 300 horsepower. Buyers can also expect to find special carbon fiber aerodynamic bits on board along with a new grille, graphics and wheels. Cobb hasn't released pricing on this Tanner Foust Edition Ford Focus ST as of yet, but you can bet the whole kit won't be cheap.
Fortunately, the company will sell you bits and pieces from the overall package for your Ford, and word has it engineers are also whipping up a Foust Fiesta ST. Look for Cobb's Focus ST website to go live next month, complete with accurate specs and pricing. Until then, enjoy clicking through the gallery here.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
