1956 Ford F-100 Pickup Unrestored All Original Road Worthy Truck on 2040-cars
Walnut Cove, North Carolina, United States
|
For sale this week I have a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck. I consider this an original survivor because it has never been painted, and is running and driving well with it's original 272 Y-block engine and 3-speed manual transmission. The truck had been parked for 6 years when I acquired it. With a new Holley carb, and full tuneup, it cranked and ran beautifully. The brakes were a bit weak so I rebuilt the entire brake system to include new master cylinder, metal brake lines, all rubber hoses, new wheel cylinders and new brake shoes. The clutch is excellent and does not shake when released. This truck can be parked months at a time and it instantly cranks. I also installed a new battery several months ago. It is a 12 volt charging system that is charging while running. The tires on the truck are in good condition and are road worthy. The mileage was told to me to be correct, at only 47000, but I have no documentation to that effect. I do believe the mileage to be correct because there is very little wear on the original pedals, seat springs are still firm, steering is nice and tight, transmissions shifts smoothly with no slop in the shifter. Since no repairs have ever been made to the body, there are no surprises hidden under body and paintwork. The bed retains the original wood (some of it). So many of these trucks end up with some sort of metal flooring welded in over top of the wood, but not this one. This truck needs a complete restoration, but is a great start that can be driven and enjoyed now and while the restoration is performed. This has always been a North Carolina truck. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time in the event of a local sale. Buyer is responsible for moving the truck to it's new home. Thanks for looking. Truck is sold as is.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
