                     1956 ford truck



Up for sale is a professionally built and very stylish 1956 ford half ton pickup. The truck was built to be very dependable and very comfortable to drive. As everyone knows these trucks didn't handle very well with the original components. So  every component on this little truck was updated from the front end to the rear end and everything in between. 

  The project started with a super solid original truck with the original paint still on it. The truck was blown apart and all the original components were removed to make way for the new suspension and running gear. The front axle was replaced with a very nice handling jaguar front end. A nice healthy 429 ford motor and C6 transmission was the chosen heart beat. The original rear end was replaced with a ford 9" rear with disk brakes it is mounted on top of springs with the rails c-nothed to acheive the lowered stance but still have plenty of axle travel. There is loads of power and the suspension works great under these trucks the tires are tucked and nothing rubs.

 The body was very nice to start with but it needed a few changes to make it nice and clean. Both the front and rear bumpers were removed and replaced with hand built roll pans. The bed stack pockets were capped, lengthened , and the ends rolled.  The bed is nice and clean with a lot of custom touches. All of the body work was Professionally done so the gaps are nice and the lines are good. Everything was blocked nice and straight and sprayed with satin urethane paint. 

  There is white oak bed wood with stainless steel strips to finish off the bed. Painted steel wheels with stainless steel rings and caps mounted on G78/15 tires. Inside the cab it is super clean and simple with restored gauges, 2 speed electric wipers, very efficient heater and defroster, lokar shifter, courtesy dome light, chrome tilt column, all new switches and a new complete truck wiring harness. The upholstery brand new very clean and comfortable. 

 This is a very nice truck with a very killer stance and street appeal. It drives and great everything works as it should and will give some one a lot of enjoyment. You don't see to many of these truck with big blocks and 4 wheel disk brakes. A ton of time and money was spent on this truck. I am sure I have overlooked some things but you get the idea My number is 208-495-3325 with any questions.

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If 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.

Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.
