1951 Ford F100 “Five Star Cab” Pickup Truck

Fuzzy Dice Auto Sales has up for auction a hidden treasure estate vehicle! This is a classic 1951 Ford F100 Flat Head V8 Pick Up Truck that belonged to the very well known stock car racer, Dick Fleck.

Fleck bought this truck new and kept it until he passed away recently in 2013. We purchased it from the family in an estate sale. Dick Fleck lived in Pennsylvania and raced stock cars through-out the east coast and Florida. In a book that he wrote he describes his trips and how he towed his stock car to all the events with his 1951 Pickup Truck. The very same pick up that you see here for auction! The book and other documents go with the truck.When he bought the truck it was blue. Disliking the color, he had it painted red three years later and also had the interior done to match the car. So the paint and interior were actually re-done 59 years ago! The lacquered paint still shines and the interior is presentable. The all steel body is totally rust free but as expected there are blemishes in the body and paint. Most notably are scuffs and some areas of fading on the fenders. These defects are depicted in the photos. A re-paint would make her look new, but if I owned her I’d leave it just as you see it with all its history.The truck still has its original AM radio and heater that are both still functional. It’s also equipped with working windshield wipers, turn signals and a battery shut off switch.

Here are some of the recent updates we preformed;

Brand new Gas Tank, New Fuel Lines, New Brake Hoses, New Wheel Cylinders, New 6 Volt Battery, New Wiper Blades.

Only 18 Miles on the totally rebuilt, bored .040 over, v8 motor with adjustable lifters, Mercury heads and a rebuilt carb and fuel pump. The truck runs quiet, smooth and peppy. She goes straight down the road and stops on a dime. The wooden truck bed was covered with steel flooring many years ago, but as you will see pictured the original wood remains.

This is a very nice example of a 1951 Ford truck that I would not hesitate driving anywhere and often. The 51’ Ford F100 half -ton is a widely sought after vehicle and are increasingly becoming hard to fine. Do not miss out on this classic vehicle and its interesting history. The photographs show the good and the not so good. Please don’t hesitate to ask for any additional pictures and/or information.

We now have this excellent truck displayed on our lot for sale locally as well, and as expected the lookers are flying in! So get your bids in right away if you are interested as not to miss out on it!

Thank you and best of luck bidding!

Toyota fears supplier pressure in Australia with GM pull out

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With Ford and General Motors both announcing an end to production in Australia, the country's auto industry is in a bad way. With the exit of two big players, there's increased concern that a third Australian manufacturer, Toyota, will be forced out, as well.
"We are saddened to learn of GM Holden's decision. This will place unprecedented pressure on the local supplier network and our ability to build cars in Australia," Toyota Australia said in a statement. The GM closure of Holden production will be the direct end to 2,900 jobs, but will also force a dramatic reduction in the size of the country's supplier network, as there will simply be fewer cars to build.
In the same statement, Toyota Australia said it would work with suppliers and local government to figure out whether continuing production Down Under was even feasible. According to Automotive News, a representative for the Australian Manufacturing Workers' Union told reporters it was "highly likely" that Toyota would also close up shop within the next few years.

Ford recalls over 680,000 Ford Fusions, Mondeos, and Lincoln MKZs for seat belt pretensioners

Fri, Dec 2 2016

Update: We spoke with a Ford representative who said that owners will be notified by mail during the week of January 16 . Dealers will also have the fix available at the same time. Owners can bring in their vehicles to dealers for an evaluation in the mean time. The main text has been updated to reflect this. The Basics: Ford is recalling 680,872 2013-2016 Ford Fusions, 2015-2016 Ford Mondeos, and 2013-2015 Lincoln MKZ s for an issue with front driver-side and passenger-side seat belt pretensioners. The Problem: The seat-belt pretensioners did not have sufficient insulation applied. When the pretensioners are activated, the heat generated can cause the cables connected to the belts to separate, which in turn can prevent the seat belts from effectively restraining the occupant. This can lead to injuries. Injuries/Deaths: Ford reports two accidents and two injuries have occurred that are related to this recall. The fix: A dealer technician will inject an insulation coating around the pretensioner. This should effectively keep the heat away from the cables, ensuring the seat belt will properly restrain the user in a collision. If you own one: Affected owners will be notified by mail on the week of January 16. Dealers will have the fix available that week, and owners will be able to bring in their vehicles for the fix to be implemented free of charge. Related Video:
