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.

More 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information leaks [UPDATE]

Tue, 20 May 2014

The big news this morning was that the 2015 Ford Mustang would start at $24,425, including its destination pricing. The big news this afternoon is, well, bigger.
Mustang6G.com has come up with what it claims is pricing info for the entire Mustang line, rather than just the V6. That means we know all about the EcoBoost and GT prices now, which, when combined with the dealer order sheets we reported on last week, gives us our clearest look yet at how the Mustang can be outfitted (we're still a bit short on pricing info for some standalone options, like paint premiums and such).
The base EcoBoost starts at $25,995, while the GT rings up at $32,925.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R-C set to storm Watkins Glen

Wed, Jun 24 2015

Ford is bringing its latest high-performance Mustang back to the track with the new 2016 GT350R-C, which will debut and race in this weekend's IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race at Watkins Glen. The spiritual successor to the Boss 302R that's still taking part in the Continental Tire series today, the first GT350R-C will be campaigned by Multimatic Motorsports. It's had its fully independent suspension completely revised for the track, and it gets everything from new spring rates to new anti-roll bars to a lowered ride height. Like the road-going GT350, a 5.2-liter, flat-plane-crank V8 sits under the hood, although Ford didn't release any specifics on power output. In fact, details are in short supply. We're expecting some sort of sequential racing transmission, wildly enhanced brakes, and a thoroughly race-prepared cabin, although Ford hasn't released any info on that stuff. The Blue Oval also hasn't said anything about the aerodynamic package, but strangely, it looks more or less like what's featured on the standard GT350R. The front fascia and rear wing are pretty much identical, and even the side sills seem roughly similar to the production model. "Like so many Mustangs before it, the Shelby GT350R is a car born to race," Ford's director of global performance, Dave Pericak, said in the attached press release. "We're taking it to the track as the GT350R-C and we're ready to see what it can do against the best competition in the world." Scroll down for the official press release from Ford. And if you're so inclined, you can check out the GT350R-C's debut race this weekend at IMSA.com, with coverage starting at 12:25 P.M. If you prefer normal TV, Fox Sports 1 will get around to re-broadcasting the race on July 5 at 10:00 A.M.
