I bought this truck in 2003 from the original owner. It was sold by wilson ford sales in fairmont west virginia in 1953 and I still have the original key fob the truck came with when it was sold new. This truck has the original engine and automatic transmission it left the factory with. I decided to leave the paint original and do a mechanical restoration since I rarely see these the way they left the factory in 1953 and I love the way it looks. Here is a list of the new items I have purchased and have had done since I purchased the truck. Original 8RT engine rebuilt by H and H ($5400.00), original automatic transmission rebuilt ($605.00), complete bumper to bumper wiring harness, front end rebuilt and aligned and steering box rebuilt ($1000.00), radiator rebuilt and recored with 4 row core and transmission cooler reconditioned ($535.00), 5 tires, new floor mat, headlight switch, 4 shocks, 6 volt battery, complete new brake system and 4 drums turned, new front bumper, 4 new hubcaps, hoses and belts, new engine and trans mounts, new running boards ($500.00), starter, generator and carb rebuilt, new fuel pump, water pumps rebuilt, speedometer reconditioned, new front wheel bearings and seals, seat reupholstered, new arm rests but I can't find the pad for the driver side. I know I have it somewhere. New voltage regulator, new grill teeth and hood boomerangs, new dome light, sun visors and brackets, door mirrors and rear view mirror, New headliner but not installed yet because I suck at interior anything and I'm afraid of damaging it. Gas tank cleaned and lined and new sending unit. new battery tray and hold down, complete new exhaust system, new headlight rings, tail lights, new door panels, kick panels and rear of seat panel. As for rust, there is a little bit in the front rockers and the front bottoms of the rear fenders and on of the bottom front lip of the bed. The truck overall is very solid with excellent cab floor. The rust you see on the top of the hood and cab is surface only and can be sanded and painted. The bed has a metal plate that slides out if you want to remove it and put the original bed wood and strips. I have all the crossmembers. Nothing has ever been modified on this truck and would be a great restoration candidate or drive as is. I have all the reciepts for parts and services I have purchased since I bought it in 2003. This has been my regular driver for years now and has never had any issues or breakdowns. I have put 6000 miles on the new engine and it has never missed a beat once. The truck also comes with NOS fender skirts, original radios, owners manual, factory manual, parts book, dealers truck handbook, sales brochure, paint chips pages and 2 boxes of extra parts I got my mits on during the time I have owned this. I also have all the original turn signal parts if you want to install turn signals in the truck. I have posted a lot of pictures so you can get a good idea of the trucks condition and everything that comes with it. I have $19800.00 in this truck as you see it but my reserve is thousands below that. Please don't ask the reserve, just bid what you think is fair. I'm not in love with the idea of selling the truck but I have a 1949 mercury and a 1959 cadillac both in dire need of engine rebuilds and we all know what kind of money that is going to require plus I have 1968 ford truck so at least I will still have a truck to use if this 1953 does sell. If you have any further questions or want to speak further you can call me at (626) 284-4013. If you want to come and see the truck in person, give me a call and we can set an appointment. Please keep calls between 6 and 9 pm monday through friday and anytime on the weekend (within reason of course). I accept cash in person, wire transfer or cashiers check for payment. Sorry, no paypal on this. Payment must clear before the truck is allowed to be picked up. Thanks for understanding. My name is Bill and thanks for any and all interest in my auction.

Ford opens the doors on its Swedish rally skunkworks
Fri, 19 Sep 2014It's always amazing to see how different kinds of racecars are made. Formula One racers are often constructed in modern architectural marvels that hint at some of the cutting-edge technology going into the racing. Conversely, rallying is all about sliding around on a varied course as fast as possible, but it often leaves a vehicle caked in mud. So it makes some sense Olsbergs MSE, or simply (OMSE) rally car shop in Nynashamn, Sweden, shows technological sophistication in a more down-to-earth setting. It builds Ford Fiesta ST racers for Global Rallycross there, and this new video gives viewers a tour through the work.
Former rally driver Andreas Eriksson runs OMSE. These days instead of racing, he and the company's 46 employees are building Ford racers from scratch. A ton of work goes into constructing each one, and according to Eriksson, it takes 400 hours to complete each body. At times, things are so busy that some of the technicians live in the shop in apartments that are on premises. There's even a restaurant to keep them fed. Sadly the dyno room is empty during this visit, though.
By the time OMSE is done, a rallycross car might resemble a Fiesta ST on the outside, but as you see in the video, it's a completely different beast underneath. Check out the work it takes to build one of them, and scroll down to read more about it in the official release.
Takata adds millions to recall expansion in US [UPDATE]
Thu, May 28 2015UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker has advised Autoblog that of the 1,509,535 total vehicles worldwide that the company is recalling, 966,504 of them are new additions for this expanded safety campaign. Last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that the Takata airbag inflator recalls would expand to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. However at the time, automakers weren't sure specifically which of their models might be affected under this enlarged campaign. Now, the numbers for BMW, FCA, Ford, and Mitsubishi are being released by the agency. Additionally, Honda is outlining the broadening of its own campaign. BMW's recall amounts to 420,661 vehicles in the US, an increase from 140,696 previously. All of the following models need their front, driver's side airbag replaced: 2002-2005 BMW 325i/325xi/330i/330xi Sedan 2002-2005 BMW 325xi/325i Sportswagon 2002-2006 BMW 330Ci/325Ci/M3 Convertible 2002-2006 BMW 325i/330i/M3 Coupe 2002-2003 BMW M5/540i/525i/530i Sedan 2002-2003 BMW 540i/525i Sportswagon 2003-2004 BMW X5 3.0i/4.4i BMW has received no reports of any injures or deaths from this problem in its vehicles. FCA has 5,224,845 vehicles globally in need of inflator replacements, according to its statement. However, the company is only aware of one injury related to the issue, which occurred in a 2006 Dodge Charger in southern Florida. There are 4,747,202 vehicles worldwide from the company that are affected on the front, driver's side. Among these, 4,066,732 are in the US, 374,508 are in Canada, and the rest are in other countries. The models are: 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Pickup 2007-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Cab Chassis 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2008-2009 Sterling 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2004-2008 Dodge Durango 2007-2008 Chrysler Aspen 2005-2010 Chrysler 300/300C/SRT8 2005-2010 Dodge Charger/Magnum 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota 2006-2010 Mitsubishi Raider Also, there are 438,156 vehicles in the US, according to the NHTSA documents, that need their front passenger's side inflators replaced in the expansion of an earlier regional recall: 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 The total number of vehicles from Ford now covered under these campaigns stands at 1,509,535 worldwide.
