I bought this truck and was told it is a 1942. I have not checked the VIN on the frame to confirm this. With the truck came a 1947 Frame with an Idaho Title. These trucks also usually had the VIN number on a data plate attached to the inside of the glove box door. I have the door and data plate with the VIN for the 1947 Title that matches the extra frame.

The extra frame has all of the running gear except the motor. The motor in the complete pickup is a six cylinder but I have not tried to turn it over. It looks to be complete except for the air cleaner. If you look at the pictures, you will notice the extra frame has 4 tires that hold air. The truck has one or two that will hold air. This has a 5 hole bolt pattern that is larger than a 1/2 ton Ford pickup. These are 17” Split rims so however the truck is loaded it only has 5 or 6 tires that hold air. The distance between the studs center to center of the stud is 4 inches. And the studs are big.

The truck has no glass in it except for broken glass in the door windows. I picked 6 or 8 rocks out of the cab that took care of the windows. I tried to show the rust hole in the floor. I would plan on some work there. The cab has rust in the cab corners but the doors look good. The bed, other than dents and some cut out holes is not too rusty. The wood is bad. I tried to show the worst of the dents on the roof where it looks as if someone got on top. All in all not a bad cab. The wheelbase of this truck is 122 inches. I thought it would probably fit on a later S10 or full sized pickup frame?? That’s where the glove box VIN might be handy. That’s what I had planned to do with it but, as my wife told me, I have more projects already than I will get done in my lifetime. Unfortunately she is right. If you plan to use the original frame the gentleman I got it from told me he understood the brakes had been re-done on the 47 frame. I have not had anything apart to look at that so cannot confirm.

Extra parts include a hood with the latching mechanism and Ford trim, extra set of front fenders, inner fender panels, and grill. I do have the side trim for the hood and a decent front bumper is in the bed. Also I have what I believe is a decent gas tank that someone plugged the inlet to prevent water from entering. I also have a set of headlight trim rings and park light rings. If you have any specific questions just ask. I will be happy to help get it loaded to the best of my ability.

I require $500.00 via Paypal within 48 hours and rest before or when picked up.

Second-tier UAW workers promoted for first time after Ford hits quota

Mon, Feb 2 2015

The United Auto Workers put out a statement on Friday that 55 Ford workers chosen by seniority would be moved from the Tier 2, entry-level pay rate of around $19 per hour to the Tier 1, non-entry-level rate of about $28 per hour. One of the stipulations in the 2011 UAW-Ford agreement was that only 20-percent of the total hourly workforce could be paid the Tier 2 wages agreed upon in 2007; after that, those workers had to be moved to Tier 1. Even so, the new Tier 1 status makes them less expensive to Ford than veteran Tier 1 workers because they receive fewer benefits. However, Automotive News had reported that same day that Ford was 69 workers shy of the limit, and when AN asked Ford about the situation Ford said it had "some room" on the entry-level roster. If workers do move to the higher pay grade, it will be the first time that's happened since the two-tier system was agreed. But it sounds like there's going to be some haggling between the UAW and Ford before that happens. Ford is the only one of the Detroit 3 automakers to have to work with a cap, since it didn't go through bankruptcy proceedings during The Great Recession; General Motors and Chrysler jettisoned the cap in 2009. GM is said to have 16 percent of its hourly workers at Tier 2 while Chrysler has 42 percent, but Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has long been opposed to the two-wage system. The UAW is preparing for its 2015 negotiations with the US automakers. It wants to eliminate the difference in pay by going to the higher scale, if there is a consensus among automakers it seems to be that they also want a single wage, but less than the higher scale, with the addition of profit-based bonuses. The recent statement from the labor union is below. UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers DETROIT, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers making entry-level wages to traditional employees. "The 2011 UAW-Ford agreement allows for a contractual limit of entry-level employees. Once that threshold is surpassed, entry-level employees convert by seniority to 'regular, non-entry level employment.' At this time, fifty-five UAW-Ford workers will receive the wage increases, which put them in the category of non entry-level employment.

Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
