Your are looking at hands down one of the coolest trucks on the road. This is a 1955 F-350 dually. Originally from Virginia and I found this truck locally a couple years ago. According to the data tag in the glove box it has 5.14 gears in the rear and was originally red. The kid who had it before me had the whole rat rod thing going so I stuck with it but re painted the truck white with 25% gloss in order to give it a satin look. Im not professional body man but it looks a lot better then when I first bought it. I put a roll in bed liner in the back and repainted the stack (that came with it when I bought it) and interior. The truck was supposed to come with a 239 v8 or Y block but according to a small tag on the current motor it has a 256 in it from a company in Richmond. I have no idea how many miles are on the truck as the speedo and odometer do not work. The lights work but I am missing two lenses for the passenger side rear lights. It has new glass and rubber on the passenger side door and I have new glass and rubber for the driver side door but have no time to put it in. The paint job is not perfect since it has to sit outside and I dont have a cover but it still turns heads everywhere. I replaced the original "widow maker" three piece wheels with a set from a newer box truck style vehicle I found in a junk yard and had the rims machined to fit this truck so it now has radial tires. The engine trans and rear all leak, but it is hands down the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned as long as you top off all fluids when needed. It has a three speed with a granny gear, non power drum brakes and non power steering. The windshield wipers do not work either. All in all this truck may not be a cream puff and it may only go 60/65 mph but it looks and sounds cooler than almost any other classic truck on the road. I have never gotten more compliments on a vehicle than I have on this truck. Any local bidders are more than welcome to come see the truck in person and go for a ride before purchase. And again this is a factory dually! I have yet to find another like it for sale. Feel free to ask any questions or if I can take more pictures to give you a better idea of what its all about I will be more than happy to do so. This is a very solid well preserved, rare piece of american history with a little twist of cool. Thanks! Happy Bidding!

Watch Ford build a Mustang atop Burj Khalifa, world's tallest building
Sun, Nov 23 2014In 1965, a Ford Mustang Convertible proudly went on display at the top of the Empire State Building, the world's tallest building at the time. Earlier this year, the Blue Oval recreated the stunt by bringing the latest droptop 'Stang to the sky-high structure. Unfortunately, while still iconic, the New York skyscraper has lost the world title. Of course, an automaker can't let something like that get in the way of a good publicity stunt. For the inauguration of the Ford business unit in the Middle East and Africa, the brand gave the 2015 Mustang Convertible an even bigger building to climb – the biggest in fact. The droptop made its way to the 112th floor of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. To put a final topper on the whole event, executive chairman Bill Ford was the one to place the car's famous badge, making it complete. Like with the Empire State Building spectacle, getting the Mustang to the top wasn't as simple as just driving it off the elevator. Check out the video above to see how it was done, and scroll down to read Ford's press release about the event. NEW MUSTANG UNVEILED ON WORLD'S TALLEST BUILDING, BURJ KHALIFA Bill Ford helps inaugurate Ford's latest business unit, Middle East and Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry Ford pledged to launch 25 vehicles in region by 2016, including the all-new Mustang debuting next year Industry sales in Middle East & Africa are expected to grow 40 per cent to 5.5 million vehicles by 2020 Dubai, U.A.E., Nov. 20, 2014 – Ford Motor Company underscored its growing ambitions in the Middle East and Africa, with the dramatic introduction of the all-new Mustang on Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford capped the live-action event by delivering the iconic pony badge to the 2015 yellow Mustang on the 112th floor of the skyscraper. The event was viewed live around the world on YouTube as well as by approximately 10,000 fans gathered in the Dubai Downtown area, overlooking the Dubai Fountain and Burj Khalifa. (To see a replay, click on this link.) "Today we planted the Ford flag in the Middle East & Africa, an exciting, vibrant region that represents the final frontier for growth in the auto industry," Bill Ford said.
Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
