1958 Ford F100 Big Back Window Pickup on 2040-cars
Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
1958 Ford F100 1/2 ton big window pickup. It has a Y block V8 but not sure if its the 272 or 292 version. 3 speed transmission, column shift. It is a Custom Cab. I've had this vehicle less than a month and have decided on another purchase for my needs. I don't have the room for both so this one has to go. Condition: first, as a disclaimer, I note that I am not a mechanic or body man so my assessment is purely from a lay person's eyes. I had the carb rebuilt shortly after purchase so I could determine how well it ran. I was told it had been sitting for years and the inside of the carb showed it. However, after installing the carb it fired up and ran well. The mileage on this is unknown but the odometer shows less than 100,000. When I bought it I was told it had a 292 Y block V8. Ford did not make a 292 for its 58 F100s, that didn't come until 1959. Therefore, either its a 272 or a replacement motor, either could be true. But it does seem to run well in the short around-the-block drives. I do think the clutch is slipping when you start out in 1st gear as it struggles a little to get going, once you do it seems to perform fine. Therefore, clutch repair or replacement is likely in order. Front and back glass is good, side glass is cracked but vent windows are good. Body is fair, no dents or other damage but there is some rust. I note some rust through in each step which has been "repaired" by a previous owner, rust through in the driver side box in one odd place and rust through on the passenger floor. All of these places would, in my opinion, be a fairly easy fix. I don't think the visible rust is significant, certainly not for this year and in comparison to others I have seen. Lights appear to work ok. I'm not certain about the gauges as I haven't driven it enough to really pay attention other than the speedometer does work. I've driven this around the block 3 or 4 times only. All in all a good solid vehicle for restoration or to hot rod. I think its a daily driver keeping the clutch issue in mind. Truck is sold as is where is, shipping is your responsibility. Vehicle is for sale locally and subject to prior sale. Please contact me with questions. |

2019 Chicago Auto Show photo gallery: All of the grilles
Fri, Feb 8 2019Do you like trucks? How about grilles? Like really big, shiny, chromey, in-your-face, could-be-made-by-Broil-King grilles? Well, the Chicago Auto Show is the place to be. Traditionally known as the truck show of the annual auto show circuit (at least those covered by national media), Chicago has what seems like a small national park's worth of acreage devoted to both consumer and commercial trucks. From humble extended cab Ford Rangers to a mammoth F-650 with cherry picker sprouting from its aft quarters, there's bound to be a truck for everything. And they all have grilles. So above is our gallery devoted to them, because hell, why not? Should you want to know about the trucks attached to those grilles, check out our coverage below.

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
