1957 Ford F100 V8 .292 Y-block Stepside Long Bed Pick-up 90,412 Mi Hot Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Longmont, Colorado, United States

Here we have a very nice 1957 Ford F100 V8 Stepside Long Bed Pick-up Project in Very Good Condition. Truck has spent it's life in Colorado dry climate and has very minimal rust. Look at the front end, very straight and all the chrome trim is intact in excellent condition. I recently purchased this truck to restore, but other projects are taking precedence so I am going to pass this one on. The original .292 V8 motor is in the back of the truck as shown as well as the radiator. It is missing the original 3-speed transmission and drive shaft. The steering and brakes are working and the truck moves about well. The previous owner started to restore the truck in 1991 and dropped the ball shortly after he pulled the motor. He said the motor ran well then, but who knows now. The project sat at his business till now and the engine was on a pallet inside the warehouse. Over the years, the transmission and drive shaft got lost. I have never seen a nicer original 1957 dash, it is in beautiful condition, nothing damaged and all there. Under the hood, everything is still there and looks like it would be easy to hook up an engine. All wiring looks good and the speedometer cable is there. Cross member is in place, just needs the drive train, engine, transmission and drive shaft. The truck has incredible patina, I started waxing the right front quarter panel and door, if the whole truck was polished, it could be clear coated, the patina is so cool. Passenger door has been replaced as well as the right front fender, passenger door is missing the inside cover panel. All the glass is intact and the windows and door locks and latches all work, I have 2 ignition keys and 1 door key. The front window has a hole, but not from a bullet, and the back glass and passenger window are cracked. The bed has a few dents on the passenger side that can be straightened, and there is a donor bed on the ground behind the truck, it has a good tailgate and other parts if needed, hard to find these step side long beds, I will dismantle this bed down to 2 long sides, tailgate, font, and some bottom slat pieces, most all of it just un-bolts. I will load the other bed in the back of the truck with the engine for transport. The only real rust problem is the inside cab corners on the floor board as shown and the running board steps. Should be easy to fix and make solid, this was a flaw in the construction of these, the brackets under there held mud and moisture and caused rust. Other than that and a few dents, should be easy to fix up, truck is really very straight, especially the front end, it looks great. I have a clear Colorado title and the truck can be seen and/or picked up in Longmont, Colorado. I will be happy to help loading if you want to send a trucking company to pick it up, I won't handle the shipping though. Any questions please email me or call 303-507-0045, Mike.

How new car shortages may impact your buying experience
Wed, 04 Sep 2013If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency
Wed, 27 Mar 2013You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.
Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.
