1963 Ford Econoline Unibody Pickup. This is a sunny California vehicle and is structurally rust free. There is some minimal bed rust at the bed/cab bulkhead where some leaves accumulated but this is an easy fix (see pics). There is no rust-through in the critical areas: zero rust in the frame rails; wheel wells; floorboards; foot wells; doors; etc. Also this has never been wrecked and the body shows minimal dings and dents. The bed deck has some surface rust and dings. The bed sides are straight and have never seen body puddy. Rear corners and quarters are straight and rust and repair free. All in all this is a great place to start a hot rat street rod build or even a restoration as all the major structure on this unibody is sound. Again, the only rust is at the bulkhead which is very common and easy to fix: it is so minimal that I feel I can say this is a rust free vehicle. All the glass is good and not cracked or damaged. There is no interior other than what you see. I do have the engine doghouse but not the top part, just the sides. Look closely at the pics and you will see that the engine mount crossmember has been modified for a 302 SBF V8. When I got the rig it had a 302 and a C4 in it but I removed it to put in my 63 Fairlane. NO ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. (The pic is for reference only.) The exhaust stack was functional and therefor the 4" dia. hole will need to be repaired if you remove it. I have all four Bronco ii aluminum wheels, I only put them on the one side to show the stance with truck wheels -- the other side is stock and has more of a rod stance. Grant after-market wood steering wheel. Buyer is to assume that the brakes and wiring will need to be gone through as well as a drive train installed. This is a project. I have a clear California title. Truck is not for sale in California! Call first if you are a Cal buyer! Buyer will need to arrange shipping at buyer's expense. I will do my best to assist on my end.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
Ford investing $500M in engine plant for 2.7L EcoBoost production
Sun, 30 Mar 2014Ohio is a hot area for Ford at the moment with the announcement just a few weeks ago that production of the next-generation F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks would move from Mexico to the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Now, Ford is investing $500 million to hire 300 workers at its Lima Engine Plant in Lima, Ohio, to add production of the twin-turbo 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 for the 2015 F-150.
The latest investment will be used to add a new flexible engine assembly system and renovate 700,000 square feet of the plant for machining and assembly areas. The Lima factory already builds Ford's 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter Duratec V6 engines. The plant opened in 1957, and it's on track to build its 40 millionth engine later this year.
Ford claims that the 2.7-liter EcoBoost will offer V8 performance with better efficiency in the F-150. It comes standard with intelligent stop/start that doesn't activate when the truck is towing or in four-wheel drive, and it's made from a combination of compacted graphite iron and aluminum for low weight and high strength. The company says that V6 engines have already proven popular in the F-150 with 57 percent of trucks in 2014 being equipped with either the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter or turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engines.
