1951 Ford F1 Truck Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Jeffersonville, Georgia, United States
This truck started out as an Atlanta, GA built V8 5 star extra cab pickup in Sheridan Blue. It has had a hard life since then. As can be seen, the body panels are dented and rusty. There is no motor, trans, radiator, driveshaft, etc. Some of the interior pieces are missing as well. I would consider this a parts truck only or possibly use the chassis, cab, and bed for a rat rod starter project. The floor is rusty, the doors are rusty at the bottom, the cab corners are rusty, the running boards are rusty, the fenders are rusty, the hood is rusty, etc. I just took out the windshield because I need the stainless so the truck hasn’t been getting rained in from the front side. I have a tarp covering the cab now. Study photos carefully as they are a large part of the description. The frame appears in pretty good shape and the 3 spd trans crossmember isn’t cut up like so many of these old trucks. The truck appears to be used up but never taken apart so most of the peculiar fasteners and clips are in place. The RH front tire is busted but the other three air up. The truck steers and rolls easily. The grille and front edges of the fenders would look neat on a mancave wall; Salvage Dawgs (on TV) got $1200 for this same feature on a 48-50 grille—double your money!!! As
a reflection of the sheetmetal condition, the opening bid is set at roughly
twice scrap value; first bid buys it! I can’t ship it but I will help you load
it. Less than 10 feedback contact me before bidding to avoid cancellation of
bid. $100 Paypal deposit due with three days of auction end; rest of payment
due in cash at time of pickup. DO NOT pay full balance with Paypal or I will be
forced to charge you another 3% to cover their fees. No title for this type of
vehicle in GA; sold with bill of sale only. I reserve right to end auction
early. I can hold truck for up to three weeks after auction ends after receipt
of deposit. Jason four 7 eight, two 3 three, three 2 nine 2. |

Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
