I hate to sell this because I was always looking for a SOLID pick up truck of this era and as soon as I found this one, my storage facility is being sold to settle an estate. This would be an excellent nostalgic truck to put together with just sealer for paint and have some fast fun with it or for a restoration. This is for the complete body and frame with no engine or transmission. The trim, fuel tank, heater, radiator, door and window mechanisms, etc… all appear to be there. The glass is there along with new weather stripping and seals. Since the glass is already out, I would recommend putting new glass in and it is readily available or the pieces that come with it can be used for patterns. The frame was cleaned and painted black with original front axle and it has a disc brake conversion. The engine and transmission mounts have not been altered so if you want to still use a Ford Flathead motor, the steel mounts for that are included. I believe the rear may be from a 1953 truck but cannot confirm that.

The body is VERY solid, especially the cab and doors. The fenders may have had some repair work done but this truck would take very little in body and prep work to make it look great. The bed and tailgate is not bad at all and the running boards will need a little rust repair but are good. I have learned the hard way that it is best to buy something in good shape and pay a little more than to pay big bucks for repair work.

I took pictures of the parts that go with the truck and it appears most of everything is there. There are some duplicate parts like wing window frames and window crank mechanism (see pictures) Used and reproduction parts are readily available. Below is a list of the new rubber and seals that are included:

· Division window bar and channel

· Rear window rubber

· Windshield rubber

· Back of front fender to cowl seal

· Door seal kit

· Vent window rubber seals

· Cowl vent seal

· Gas tank neck grommet

· Cowl lacing kit

Truck is located in Sinking Spring, Pa which is West of Reading and is for sale locally. Winning bidder pays $500 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of the end of auction. It is buyers responsibility to pick it up or make full shipping arrangements. This comes with a bill of sale only– no title. The missing title is not an issue because you can get new title based on the truck being put together with salvage parts.

Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams

Sun, 11 Aug 2013

As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.

2015 Ford Mustang dealer order guide surfaces

Tue, 13 May 2014

Details about the all-new, 2015 Ford Mustang continue to leak out. In fact, at this point, it's more of a stream than a drip. Its option prices are already available, and now the full ordering guide is on the web for all of the trims thanks to the Mustang 6G forum. Ford is rapidly running out of secrets to keep about its new sports coupe.
The 21-page guide can be perused in the gallery below and contains all of the standard features, colors, options codes, descriptions. Generally everything you might want to know about the 'Stang is there, other than its price or power. It even shows off the available wheel designs.
The guide finally gives away the contents of the Performance Package for the EcoBoost and GT trims. The EcoBoost's package includes: A larger rear sway bar, new chassis tuning, larger brake rotors, 19-inch black wheels, retuned driver assistance systems, an aluminum dash panel, added gauge pack, 3.55 limited slip rear differential, larger radiator, heavy-duty front springs and spoiler delete. When the options pricing leaked, it indicated the package would cost $1,995. If that is the case, it seems like quite a deal.

Ford family keeps special voting rights

Fri, 10 May 2013

Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.
