1954 ford pickup. clear open title in hand. got this pickup on trade the other day and really dont need it or want to build it. so i figured i try selling on ebay before i start sinking money into it. plans if not sold....make a rat rod truck out of it. lower it even more. run a radiator and model a headlights only and some kind of flatbed on the rear. make a moonshine truck!
the cab does not seem bad. needs three new brake line connections next to the brake booster. the po cut them trying to take cab off. with 3 new lines it should stop. everything else brake wise seems working order. gas cable is unhooked at the carb. gas cable is aftermarket billet. i hooked a hot battery u to the engine. it fired up easy on first turn. sounds good. po told me the front subframe and engine from older camaro and so is rear end. so im guessing the engine is 305 or maybe 350??? not sure. engine has full length headers, aluminum intake and edelbrock carb. powering steering. frame is worst thing about the whole truck. someone really couldnt weld but apparently the PO previous owner.... said he drove the truck himself for over 10 years. i was going to go over all the old welds. grind them down flush with frame. reweld if needed. the weld gussets over any welded joints for extra insurance. one picture taken shows the worst weld. actually started cracking. frame isnt junk but needs attention fast. automatic transmission. appears to be a turbo 350 or something along those lines. engine has exhuast running all the way back. flowmaster duals. sounds great. rear glass has small crack. wheels are 20inch. look kinda rustic to me and was going to keep for rat rod look. other than that not much more to say. floors are pretty solid as can be seen in pictures. seat is just laying in truck. truck is for sale locallly. can call or text or email ... 270 734 0643 270 734 0048 thanks chris |

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags
Sun, Dec 14 2014Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
