1930 Model A Ford Pickup Truck on 2040-cars

Year:1930 Mileage:1
Location:

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States

 A classic 1930 pickup titled and in running driving project condition.  I bought the truck with hopes of painting the bed and cab black and installing a dropped axle for a period 40's hotrod look.  The truck could go any direction at this point, either hotrod or close to original with some mechanical updates. Thousands of dollars spent on 5 speed conversion and juice brakes. All work thoughtfully done with quality parts.

The following has been done and all work looks quality:

Drivetrain has been updated with a Auto Restorations 5 speed kit using a nice low mileage  GM t5 transmission. Smooth quiet running stock engine and great clutch. The exhaust is also newly redone

Brakes have been upgraded to juice brakes using stock model A pedals, 39 ford style master cylinder, 41 ford backing plates and drums, new hard and soft brake lines.

Electrical is 6 volt with new battery and upgraded powder coated battery box. the headlights and taillights are not finished wired. I was going to pull the cab and bed and respray before finish wiring.  Engine wiring is complete and starter , alternator and distributor work great.

Wheels are 17" with older gum dipped firestone 5.25/5.50 bias plies. Wheels could use new  paint or powder coat. Overall they are in good condition and tires are  without cracks or leaks.

Fenders are the nicest I have seen on any pickup. The bed is not very wavy with only minor dents inside  and has new oak wood kit with stainless strips.

Cab and doors are in good condition with some bondo in lower cowl. I had plans on fixing with new metal when it was repainted. I think the yellow paint job  should be redone. All glass is great condition and windows roll up and down nicely. Doors close great and hinges are in good condition. No sagging issues with the doors.

Seat has been redone includes excellent frames and springs. Floor has new wood and top is nicely redone

I have lots of money tied up in the pickup and it is well on it's way to being a great driver. The 5 speed ads that needed overdrive and keeps the engine rpms at a comfortable level and the juice brakes are  a must for higher speed cruising. Great project that needs some completion and maybe , just some primer black paint to cover the yellow on cab and bed ( I hate yellow on model A's).

I Live in Coeur d' Alene Idaho and can help with any shippers and overseas buyers welcome. I  have the pickup truck for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell local. Please call with any questions.

Thanks, Ben

Answers to questions? frame started out as a solid original, rust preventative painted and new hardware used throughout. Front and back springs pulled apart, greased then assembled new hardware.

Sacramento vintage ford -MASTER CYLINDER CONVERSION KIT & BATTERY BOX 1928-31 used for juice brake conversion using a 39-52 ford master cylinder.

I have the front wiring new in package and was just going to run a home made harness to rear lights. I also have taillight brackets to run lights on both rear fenders.

Tires are repops from Coker and have been sitting with very little use. A little flat spot on fronts and they need some road time to warm up and round out. Rims are 17"  I believe from 32-33 fords. I was going to buy 7.50  x 17 for rears and run the 5.25 on fronts for a big n little hot rod look.

Engine runs quiet and smooth. I was going to change out the distributor to an electric type , install a Stromberg 97 for better carburation and then the 5 speed could be used to it's fullest. I will include the Large logo 97 in the sale. Engine is fine as is and runs cool.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5

Tue, Oct 4 2016

We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.

Ford could post best-ever profits in Q1 2013

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

Analysts are saying that Ford Motor Company may have earned a record $2.7 billion pretax profit in North America during the first quarter of 2013, a number that represents its highest first quarter profit ever. The impressive earnings are further proof that the American automaker is making a solid comeback as the economy begins to recover.
Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase are estimating that Ford's first quarter North American profit may have topped 12 percent. The firm cited the automaker's fresh lineup, but noted that CEO Alan Mulally needs to uphold the pace as the company works to gain ground in the car and utility segments.
Ford's success has been led by increased demand for its F-Series pickup, the best-selling vehicle in the US for 31 years, and by the Fusion sedan that recently recorded its best-ever quarterly sales in the domestic market. Ford is expected to release its first-quarter revenue on Wednesday, of this week.
