Up for auction is a 1938 Ford truck, running and in great condition! This truck has a clear title. I have tried to be as detailed as possible in the description:


Chassis:
This truck started with a 1938 Ford 1/2 ton chassis. The front axle is stock with a Posie reverse eye spring.
There is a new set of drums, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, rubber lines and a hardware kit for a 1953-60 F-100.

The third member was washed and checked along with the axle bearings. 
The rear is mounted with a 1935-48 parallel Leaf spring kit from TCI.
The brake pedal assembly is a manual assembly with a double master cylinder from Speedway Motors.
New metal lines all the way.
The steering wheel and column are rebuilt from a 1946 Ford.
All four tie rod ends are new.

Tires & Wheels:
The front wheels are early Ford 4"X16" with new 6.00-16 Lester tires. 
The rear wheels are Ford 7"X16" with 235/80/R16 tires.

The motor is a 4-bolt man 350 out of a 1977 Chevy. 
It has been bored 0.30 over, heads ported and polished; 202 valves, crank, pushrods, rods, and pistons are new. 
The motor is built to a 383 Stroker with an OffenHauser 360 intake.
It has a 4 barrel Deamon carburetor, a stock HEI distributor, stock water pump, Billet pullys, chrome engine kit. 
The exhaust manifolds are from a 1956 265 Chevy.

The gas tank is a 1940 polytank new from Speedway Motors. 
It has new fuel lines and a 4-8 pound electric fuel pump from Car Quest.

The radiator is an old Walker setup for a small block Chevy. It has a patch on it (pictured) but it was checked, boiled out, and fixed by a local radiator shop.
The truck never runs over 180, and only does that in traffic. 
Oil pressure is never below 40 pounds.

Body:
The cab is a 1938 Ford; uncut and 90% rust-free. The rust there is in the bottom of the doors. (pictured)
Windshield crank is fully operational. 
The glass is all new except for the passenger door glass.
After market gauges were added under the dash for accurate readings.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.

Ford increasing Super Duty production by 15 percent

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Ford has announced a hefty $80 million investment in its Kentucky Truck Plant, which is responsible for building the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 versions of the Super Duty pickup. The influx of cash will add 350 jobs to the factory.
The investment is also good for a 15-percent increase in annual production thanks to retooling and other facility upgrades, which equates to an extra 55,000 units of production. Considering that Ford makes even more money off its Super Duty than it does on the hot-selling F-150, this could mean some serious coin to Ford's bottom line.
Hop below for the full press release from Ford on its latest investment.
