Up for sale is my 1949 Ford F-1 Classic Pickup truck. (Texas Title states 1949 although looks like 1950-1952). I have owned this truck for about a year now and have begun to rebuilt it since I got it. I am getting married next month so bills and my future wife have forced me to get it sold. I am listing with NO RESERVE so highest bidder takes it. I will list all the information that I have for this truck to the best of my ability however please do not hesitate to ask any more questions as I want to make sure that the winning bidder is satisfied with the purchase made. I have worked on this truck for a long time so it is hard to let it go but I am sure that the new owner will be just as happy with this fantastic truck as I am.
Engine:
This truck has been a project of mine and although not fully complete will make a fantastic show or daily driver truck. This truck has had new paint job, brand new upholstery, carpet, custom matching vynil seat and roof. New wood for Bed inserts just finished and has brand new tires installed by previous owner. Due to the current work on this truck the gas tank has been removed for new carpet and seats to be installed. Mechanicaly this truck has had very little work done as my intentions were to finish the exterior and interiors first then work my way to the engine. This truck does start and run however will need some adjustments and replacements. Truck has a brand new battery purchased at Advanced Auto Parts in August 2012. To the best of my knowledge original engine was replaced with a Ford 460 Engine V8 from a 1970ish Ford Ranger along with transmission (automatic) and rear axels. The carburator does need adjusting as it chokes a little when rpm gets high. The Radiator needs to be fixed or replaced as it does have some leakage. The fan was installed after and although works needs to be worked on as it seems to have been placed on temporarily. The engine will need muffler as pipes were cut (see pictures) and can be a bit noisy at times. The gauges on the truck do not work so will need to be replaced or connected. Electric works great on truck including installed stereo (needs speakers as ones on were stolen. The tuck does have current Texas State inspection until 07/2013.
Paint and Body
The truck needed a lot of work to be completed on the exterior so there were over 200 hrs of good body work perfomed on this truck and over $3500.00 dlls invested in paint, materials and work . The color of the truck is an original Ford color that was chosen to stand out. The truck paint work was performed by a small local shop so its good not for a show truck but it looks great. The trucks interior bed area is the only spot that still would have needed some more work (see pics) but a cover was going to be used so it was left this way. This paint job was done while the bed was removed so chasi protectant was applied under the bed (see pics). The paint was applied to the interior as well. Exterior accesories are needed such as rear view mirrors for doors. Front signal lights are needed. The hood latch system needs adjusting as it does hook and close but is very difcult to re-open or re-close.
Upholstery and Seats
Brand new carpet has been installed on the truck in a grey color. The seat and roof have been covered with a custom two-tone grey matching vynil that I believe looks great.
Wheels and Tires.
This truck has a little bit of a problem with the wheels as you can see on the pics the rear end has 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern and the front has 5 x 5.5" so since I purchased it different wheels have been on the truck. The tires are brand new more than 95% thread left which is good but to complete new wheels will be needed.
Windshield and Windows
Front and rear windshields have been replaced with the original greenis tone glass this month.The truck is needing both door windows as they have not been installed. One door has complete hardware for window to be installed but the driver door needs all the hardware to be completed. The truck did orginaly come with the small corner windows however they were not reinstalled as it needs new rails and seals. Turck does need new wipers as the old ones were removed.
Wood Bed / Rear End
New wood has been isntalled on truck nice stain applied and clear coat finish. The wood bed is needing metal or chrome rails to hold it all together and needs to be tighten to the beds frame. The rear bumper as you can see in pictues is nice however does show small signs of rust so will need to be re-plated or replaced. New Rear tail lights are needed as the current ones although they work would have to be replaced with newer nices ones to fit new trucks finish.
This truck is being sold as is, without any warranty implied or expressed so please make sure to ask any and all questions before bidding. I encourage anyone to come and see the truck in person in Mission, TX at any time during the listing or to have it inspected before purchasing. I am listing all information that I know to the best of my knowledge. I want to make sure that the buyer feels confident of what you are bidding on.
Happy biddings!!

Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA
Tue, 29 Oct 2013With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.
2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395
Mon, 28 Jul 2014The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
