1946 Ford Panel Truck .

I am listing this item for a friend of mine. Vehicle is located in Niceville, Florida. If you are serious and I have not listed something or you have any questions please contact me and I will put you in touch with the owner.

Body and chassis are 1946 Ford. Body is solid. All doors open and close as they should. All widow glass is new.

Motor, transmission, tilt steering wheel and rear end are from a 1985 Ford van with 88,000 miles. Motor is a good running 302 with dual exhaust. Timing chain and gears are new. Also water pump is new. Main bearings and rod bearings are new.   Transmission is a 3 speed with overdrive. 

This truck was built by an instructor at Hot Rod Institute so all work so far is high quality and correct. Personal issues have forced him to sell the truck before it was totally complete.

Rear end was narrowed to fit body. Front end is new aftermarket rack and pinion Mustang II style. It was lined up on the bench. Alignment will need to be fine tuned.

Disk brakes on front and heavy duty drum brakes on rear.

New aluminum radiator with tranny cooler built in and electric fan.

Lights are hooked up and working. This year model did not come with 2 tail lights. Wiring is run for them to be installed.

This truck runs fine and will drive to be moved. It is not road worthy yet. 

What this truck needs to be finished :

Some body work nothing major.. Maybe some paint !!!

Windshield wiper motor and linkage.. Many available aftermarket.

The floor is currently plywood. Owner has cedar flooring that will go with truck.

Has no heat or a/c.

Currently running on a 10 gallon fuel cell. needs a spare tire rack. Have the cover ( see pics)

Mechanically most of the work is done. Just down to the cosmetics. The hard stuff is done !!

Truck can be inspected in Niceville, Florida 32578. Can e mail more pics if needed.

Have no way to ship vehicle. Local pick up only.

Vehicle is advertised locally and we reserve the right to end auction early is it sells.

Reserve is set lower than the parts cost with no labor !!!!

Have clear South Dakota title where it was just moved from.

Will make a cool street rod.  Thanks for looking.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
