I have owned this truck for 20 years. Purchasing it in August of 1994 from a man that brought it to Michigan from Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee. It has the factory 6-Volt electrical sys., the 226 cu.in., 6-Cylinder, 95 hp, flathead engine, with 6.8:1 compression ratio, 1 barrel carb., 3.73:1 axle ration and the "Non"- Synchromesh factory 4-speed transmission w/ granny gear.

The restoration was done in 1993, when the flat glass was replaced, fiberglass running boards were installed, red oak bed boards installed and the truck was painted in single stage Black.

I have had the carb, generator and radiator rebuilt, along with having the gas tank dipped & coated. Replaced the distributor cap, rotor, points, plugs & wires along with the belt and hoses ( general tune-ups ) over the years.

I added a Dennis Carpenter 'RED' headliner / kick panel kit, along with beauty rings and hub caps and a quality 'California' brand truck cover.

Note: The engine runs strong but is wound tight between 55- 60 mph with the factory flathead power train and the factory 3.73:1 gear. Last but not least I have all receipts dating back to 1993.

PS: Note to those of you who I have told I would re-list the truck on June 25th. I have been changing over to a new Internet Provider. If any of you are entertaining this 'think it over again', this is the first day in 5 days that I have been able to connect to the internet for any extended period of time. It will drive you nuts !

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
