1950 Ford F-1 Pickup Truck Hot Rod Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Massillon, Ohio, United States
|
1950 Ford F-1 Pickup with Clear Title. This Truck was customized some years ago. The restoration or resto-modification was started and about half way complete, when the owner passed away. The truck sat is storage for years and was recently completed. The Modifications consist of a modern V-8 Chevrolet Engine. The Engine is a 1960's model Chevrolet 283. It was refreshed with new internals, including Oil Pump and Timing Set and Seals and Gaskets. This is a low mileage engine and the Bore and Bearings were good, so it was not Bored or Turned. Everything inside is standard. The 283 has a Holley Manifold, Holley Valve Covers and Holley 4 Barrel Carburetor. The Engine also got an Accel Electronic Distributor and new Wires. The truck got a 5 Speed Manual Transmission from a 1990 Chevrolet Pickup. I believe this transmission is called an NV-3500. This gives the truck 5 gears and a Hydraulic Clutch. Along with the Transmission, the truck got a new Flywheel, Clutch and Throwout Bearing. A new Driveshaft was fabricated by a local Driveshaft and clutch shop. This was a little expensive, but so much better than hacking a couple of old driveshafts together. The Truck already had a later model Ford Differential, giving it a more street friendly set of gears. The Truck was changed over to 12 Volts and got a GM 1 Wire 90 Amp Alternator. There are also lots of other new parts including Starter and Fuel Pump. There is much more. The Truck now has Power Brakes with Discs in the front. Everything in the brake System was replaced, including Master Cylinder, Rear Wheel Cylinders, Shoes, Lines, Hoses and more. The Truck has Headers and Dual Exhaust that turns down near the center of the Bed. The Frame is very solid and is painted Black. The Body is solid with a little rust, here and there. The Cab has all new Glass and Window Seals. All of the Door Windows open and close properly. The Seat is a Vintage Ford Truck Seat that looks good with the Truck color. It was recovered some time in the 1960s or 1970s, but still looks good. The Seat is not perfect. It has some wear and tear from the years, but is just too cool to recover. The Truck has an Oldsmobile Tilt Steering Column and the High, Low Beam Lights, Turn Signals and Emergency Flashers all work through the Stock Column controls. The Gauges all work. The Fuel Gauge works properly. The Oil Pressure and Temperature Gauges seem to work backwards. I believe this to be because the truck was originally positive ground, but that is just a guess! The Speedometer was replaced with a tach. There is a power port installed on the dash. This is a good place to insert a power cord for your GPS. The GPS will give you an accurate speed reading. The truck also got a new Headliner and various other new parts from Dennis Carpenter. The Doors open and close well. I am posting pictures of the Cab Corners and Door Bottoms to show their condition. The Front Fenders are Fiberglass. The Hood, Grill and Center Section are Steel. There is a sheet of Steel, welded in the Bed. The Tail Gate is original and in good condition. The Tail Gate does need one Hinge to work properly. There is no Rear Bumper. The Wheels and Tires have only a few hundred miles on them. The Wheels are Chrome Reverse with Baby Moon Hub Caps and in good condition, not mint condition. They are all 15s, but the front Wheels and Tires are smaller than the backs. This gives the truck a lower look, in the front. The Truck has an attractive look with nice artwork on the door and a nice Patina effect. It is not a show truck, but a fun cruiser that gets plenty of attention. I tried to describe the truck well. I am sure I left out some things. I will try to answer any questions through email. I may be able to assist with delivery within a few hundred miles of Canton, Ohio. This Truck is being listed with a low start price and no reserve. It will sell to the highest bidder. Please look closely at the pictures. They are part of the listing.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon
Fri, 27 Dec 2013What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.
Ford to kick off F-150 campaign during College Football Playoff
Tue, Dec 30 2014The long-awaited inaugural College Football Playoff will feature the nation's best college teams, with the Oregon Ducks taking on the Florida State Seminoles, and Alabama Crimson Tide facing some team from Ohio. On top of that, though, it'll also see the launch of the very first advertising campaign for the 2015 Ford F-150. Viewers from across the country will see a trio of ads featuring the all-aluminum truck, with two half-minute spots and a full 60-second commercial, all voiced by Denis Leary, touting the F-150's feature set and towing capacity, but passing on mentioning the new truck's class-leading fuel economy. That, Automotive News reports, isn't a miscue by Ford. The company simply didn't have enough time between the EPA's fuel economy announcement and the 2014-2015 Bowl Season to prepare a spot. Expect plenty on the F-150's fuel efficiency in future spots. Interestingly, though, AN is reporting future F-150 advertising won't include a Super Bowl appearance. Ford has made the decision to focus its new truck ads on college football rather than during the NFL championship. "From our point of view, there's no bigger stage to debut the F-150 creative than the College Football Playoff," Keith Koeppen, Ford's US marketing communications boss, told AN. "It's so closely aligned with the passions of our customer." It's those passions that are pushing Ford to kick off its ad campaign for a new truck so much earlier. Speaking to AN, Doug Scott, Ford's truck marketing manager, said that the automaker typically doesn't begin ad campaigns until its dealers have at least a fifty-fifty mix of old and new models, but that it's pushing the 2015 F-150's ads to fit with the college football playoffs. While Ford's focus is on the two semifinal playoff games on New Year's Day and the National Championship Game on January 12, the ads will actually air for the first time on New Year's Eve, when the TCU Horned Frogs face off against the Ole Miss Rebels in the Peach Bowl. The three spots will also be shown during other bowl games, as well.
