Up for auction is a rare 1963 Ford F100 Shortbed PROJECT truck, with it's original 292, and 3 speed manual transmission. This was the last year of the unibody trucks, which means the bed is attached to the cab. The truck still wears it's original paint, and besides the radio it's a very original truck! The truck is a project truck, I got her to run and drive but, she sat for many years and the carb needs to be rebuilt... idles rough. She starts up, no smoking or knocking. Has lots of caked on oil from over the years. It shows 18,000 miles on the odometer, but the truck actually has 118,000 original miles on the truck. The truck has some rust in the drivers floor, and the drivers side body mount. Besides a few other small rust spots that's it for the rust issues. The cab mount on the drivers side should be replaced, or you can just weld it up. The truck will run and drive on it's own power, and the 3 on the tree shifts ok. I drove the truck around the block after I got it running, and it made me smile. The truck has a new Generator, new fuel pump, new voltage regulator, and she the charging system works great. The truck has a New Windshield too. The truck will be sold to the highest bidder, NO RESERVE!!
The outside of the truck has the normal dents from being used as a truck for many years. The nice thing is the bed has only minor surface rust. The bed is actually in very good shape for it's age. The tailgate as you can see has some dents in it, and some rust towards the lower left side. The tail gate stills opens, closes, and the latches both work. The body is very clean with just some minor rust in the lower parts of the doors. The windows roll up and down just fine, and the doors open and close great. The hood hinges are sprung of course. The truck for it's age is in very good condition. The nice thing is the wiring is in good shape under the hood, and nobody has hacked it up! And this truck would be a great candidate for restoration or for a Ratrod shop truck.
The truck is a nice PROJECT type truck! The winning bidder is required to pay a $500 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of winning the truck! The truck is being sold " As Is" due to it's age. The deposit must be paid through Paypal. The remaining balance is due within 3 days of the auction closing, and the final payment may be made with a Cashiers check, wire transfer or cash in person. The truck must be picked up within 2 weeks of the auction closing, and my zip code is 89131 for shipping purposes. Please email me with any questions, and good luck!! choice!!

I forgot to add that the trucks lights all work, blinkers work, and the gas gauge work... plus it has a new sending unit, and the tank was flushed and acid washed also. The temp gauge works, and the Generator and Oil pressure light both work, and after the truck starts they both go off. The charging system works great. I appreciate all the email questions in regards to the truck, and if you have any questions that you need to speak to me about in person, please call me at 702-321-2457, Thanks Shawn

Ford cleans up painting process with cameras
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Knowing how the bacon gets made rarely entices us and, in the same vein, the same usually goes for knowing about how new cars get painted. But in both instances, however, quality - or a lack thereof - is instantly obvious. In terms of the latter, Ford is showing off its new paint quality process with 3D Dirt Detection Technology to find imperfections in vehicle paint more easily and more quickly.
This process - being performed on the F-150 SVT Raptor above - uses 16 computer-controlled cameras to create a three-dimensional model (inset) of the vehicle to detect flaws in the paint including dirt particles, which can then be buffed out manually. Ford says this new technology cuts down on time spent looking for paint flaws and gives workers more time to correct those that are discovered.
Currently, Ford only uses its 3D Dirt Detection Technology system at three factories (the Dearborn, MI facility, along with those in Louisville, Kentucky and Valencia, Spain), but it will soon spread to five more plants in North America. Ford has released a video and press release for this innovative and unexpectedly interesting process, both of which are posted below.
Second-tier UAW workers promoted for first time after Ford hits quota
Mon, Feb 2 2015The United Auto Workers put out a statement on Friday that 55 Ford workers chosen by seniority would be moved from the Tier 2, entry-level pay rate of around $19 per hour to the Tier 1, non-entry-level rate of about $28 per hour. One of the stipulations in the 2011 UAW-Ford agreement was that only 20-percent of the total hourly workforce could be paid the Tier 2 wages agreed upon in 2007; after that, those workers had to be moved to Tier 1. Even so, the new Tier 1 status makes them less expensive to Ford than veteran Tier 1 workers because they receive fewer benefits. However, Automotive News had reported that same day that Ford was 69 workers shy of the limit, and when AN asked Ford about the situation Ford said it had "some room" on the entry-level roster. If workers do move to the higher pay grade, it will be the first time that's happened since the two-tier system was agreed. But it sounds like there's going to be some haggling between the UAW and Ford before that happens. Ford is the only one of the Detroit 3 automakers to have to work with a cap, since it didn't go through bankruptcy proceedings during The Great Recession; General Motors and Chrysler jettisoned the cap in 2009. GM is said to have 16 percent of its hourly workers at Tier 2 while Chrysler has 42 percent, but Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has long been opposed to the two-wage system. The UAW is preparing for its 2015 negotiations with the US automakers. It wants to eliminate the difference in pay by going to the higher scale, if there is a consensus among automakers it seems to be that they also want a single wage, but less than the higher scale, with the addition of profit-based bonuses. The recent statement from the labor union is below. UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers DETROIT, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UAW President Dennis Williams and UAW-Ford Vice President Jimmy Settles announced today that the union is delivering on its promise to convert workers making entry-level wages to traditional employees. "The 2011 UAW-Ford agreement allows for a contractual limit of entry-level employees. Once that threshold is surpassed, entry-level employees convert by seniority to 'regular, non-entry level employment.' At this time, fifty-five UAW-Ford workers will receive the wage increases, which put them in the category of non entry-level employment.
2015 Ford Mustang revs it up at Cars & Coffee
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Just because the new 2015 Ford Mustang has officially been released, you didn't think that would be the end of the matter - did you? Of course not. There'll still be plenty of rumors, reports and video footage to bring you. Like this, the first non-official footage of the new pony car in the wild.
Shot by YouTube user SotA1080 and dug up by our friends at CarBuzz, this clip shows the new Mustang posing for photos (alongside other Mustangs) and starting up its engine at the most recent gathering of Cars & Coffee in Irvine, CA. And this being the GT model, it's not packing the V6 or the turbo four, but the red-blooded 5.0-liter V8 that tells us and enthusiasts worldwide that the new Mustang has not lost its way. Scroll on down to watch the footage for yourself.
