I am offering for sale my 1931 Ford Model A Pick-up.  I am the second owner of this truck since it was rebuilt as a street rod.  The chassis was built in Charlotte, NC.  The rest of the truck was build in CT.  The truck is all steel.  All original steel except the bed which is and aftermarket steel bed.  The engine is a 1960's 327 Chevrolet which is equipped with an Edelbrock enduroshine intake and two Edelbrock enduroshine four barrel carbs.  It also has tuned headers.   It has excellent chrome bumpers front and back.  The exhausts are new.  It has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear.  It has coil over shocks on the back.  The suspension and undercarriage work is excellent.  It has Coker classic tires which have 95% of their tread.  I have installed a new Stewart-Warner speedometer which works.  Still using the original gas tank which is between the dash and the firewall/engine compartment.  The original fuel gauge still works fine, has a new float on it.  Still using the original ignition switch.  Have installed a correct steering wheel.  The air conditioning (tilt-out windshield) works fine.  The headlight bar is a "drop down" style which sets the headlights down a little lower and gives a better "street machine" look.   The front bumper brackets are mounted upside down which lowers the bumper.   I have very recently added the cowl lights.  The turn signals are in the headlights and they work fine.  I have just installed new LED tail/brake lights so others can see you better at night.  The seats are covered with vinyl, cloth would be better.  There is an instrument panel overhead.  It includes an oil pressure gauge, amp meter, water temp. gauge and a newly installed tachometer.  In that overhead console is an AM/FM stereo with CD player.   All the metal is good.  Running boards, fenders, corners, bed and all have zero rust.  The battery is in the yellow  "Things go better with Coke" cooler in the bed.  All the electronics work.  There are switches for most things on the driver's side kick panel.  The starter button, horn button, headlight/park light switch, instrument panel light switch and cowl light switch are all located there.  The interior light (overhead) switch is located in a storage compartment over the driver's head.  Oh yes, I forgot, there are two storage compartments, one on each side in the overhead console.  Each windshield wiper has its own switch.  The door handles are original.  They pull "to you" to open the doors.  There is an electric heater under the seat.  It is ducted to both driver and passenger's feet and does a pretty good job on cold days.

This little truck is extremely well constructed.  It is tight, no rattles, and rides really good.  It will run like a scared rabbit if you wish to get into it.  (I don't.)  A friend of mine has a '35 Ford coupe street rod and the first time he rode in my truck he kept on commenting about how good it rides.  It is not a real show winner, but is a hell-of-a-good cruise-in truck.

I have tried to describe the little truck as best I can.  If I failed to address something you want to know, just email me and I will try to get back to you with the proper information.   Thanks for looking and good look bidding!

Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma top ASG list of most eco-friendly trucks

Mon, Mar 31 2014

No one's going to confuse the massively popular Ford F-150 pickup truck with a green vehicle, but at least it performs well in an environmental sense when compared to its brethren. The Automotive Science Group (ASG) took on the odd (to us, at least) task of measuring which pickup trucks are friendliest to the environment and found that the big seller in the Blue Oval's flagship F-series came up big, while the Toyota Tacoma came up, well, slightly smaller. That's a good thing. Among the 245 light-duty trucks that ASG studied, the 3.7-liter V6-powered F-150 won ASG's award for full-size trucks for both regular and crew cabs. Meanwhile, the 2.7-liter Toyota Tacoma, with its fuel-economy rating of 23 miles per gallon combined, had smallest overall life-cycle carbon footprint and won ASG's two mid-sized categories. Finally, the Chevrolet Silverado won best all-around performance in the full-size extended-cab category. The ASG factored in eco-friendliness, price and social performance (which is measured by, "considering the rights of those charged with vehicle manufacture and assembly") to come up with its findings. Sales of Ford's F-Series trucks rose 8.4 percent last year to 74,592 units and accounted for more than a third of the total 2013 sales of Ford and its Lincoln unit. Check out the ASG's press release below. Truck Buyers Faced With "Eco" Options Galore Which 2014 full-size trucks warrant eco claims? 25 March 2014 [Santa Rosa, CA] – With a myriad of eco-branded trucks hitting the North American marketplace in 2014 – from Ford's EcoBoost and GM's EcoTec3 to Ram's latest addition, the EcoDiesel – the Automotive Science Group (ASG) was prompted to offer an objective, scientifically-based assessment to determine exactly which 2014 trucks actually earn their "eco" badge. According to ASG and the principles of ecological economics, a vehicle's eco-rating must be multi-faceted to include both environmental and economic considerations, and so the Group's proprietary rating platform – the Automotive Performance Index – does just that. Using a unique combination of vehicle data inputs that include conventional specifications as well as social, environmental and economic performance indicators, ASG's vehicle assessments empower consumers to make choices based on one's personal principles and financial requisites.

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.
