You are Bidding on my 1955 Ford Pickup.
The paint as you view it has taken 3 Generations of ownership to acheive and a Life-time of Memories.
The Truck lives here in Bakersfield California just a very short 12 miles from the "World Famous" Famosa Drag Strip, it has spent it's entire life Here, with the exception of the first year which was spent in a high desert community between Bakersfield and Los Angeles.
You will notice the "Typical City or County" Orange paint weathered under the Burgandy, yep it was originally a 6-cylinder 3 speed County owned truck that went to auction shortly after its first year of service because the town which owned became over extended and it was sold at auction.
It has spent the rest of its life between home and the Dragstrip with countless trips to Muroc and Utah to the Salt at Bonneville. She still wears the decals of visits past and hope she always will.
The truck was stolen in 2009 but recovered, it was at this point I decided to give her a "New Life".
This has been a Very Tough Decision on my part and my Son and Grandson's to even offer this truck up for Auction, but we have so lets get on with the details of the package.
There are 282 miles total on the 454 Big Block Chevy,Thumper Cam, Rectangular Port Heads, Built and done correctly.
Exhaust system is completly new and does have "Electric Cut-outs", and they sound great. So extra nice to have that Hot Rod Noise and added boost at your finger tips.
Horse-Power is backed-up by a Freshly built 700R Automatic Transmission with the same mileage time.
The Rearend is a "Currie" 9" unit running 3.78"s which make for a wonderful High-way crusing truck.
TCI Mustang Front End with 4 wheel Disc Brakes all the way around. It runs and stops the way it should be expected to.
Full Chrome Tilt Steering Column, and a beautiful engine turned dash.
The Upolstery is a very traditional "Black & White Tuck and Roll with pleated inserts and door panels to match. Headliner is smooth and perfect to match.
Firestone 16's all the way around 890's in the rear and 600's in the front. Truck drives smooth and straight. No Problems.
All wiring and electrical Front to back and Fuse Panel under dash is New and everything works as it should.
This time around we went to one-piece windows to keep the wind-wing bandits away, added under dash heat and air.
Bed wood is new with Stainless steel strips and all stainless steel hardware throughout.
Tilt Hood as shown.
I do have the spare tire carrier which has been powder coated Glossy Black. I also have a complete set of new door rubbers which will also go with the truck along with photos of the truck throughout its rebuild.
My Eddie Meyer Air-Cleaner will not be included with the truck as it was a gift from my wife. (No Exceptions Guys, Sorry)
I'm sure that I have left something out so please ask. I will reply as quick as I can, however I do actually have a real Job and do not have constant access to be able to respond.
Please do not wait until the closing moments of the auction to ask questions because you will be geeted by thin air it just will not get a response on short notice.
The Truck is listed with a very realistic reserve considering what it was, and what it is today. You couldn't Fake this Truck in your wildest Dream.
It is what it is so view the pictures and bid accordingly.
Please Note, if you have less than favorable or a recent negative or non-Payment Strike your Bid will be cancelled No Exceptions.
Just ask if you are in Doubt!

Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival
Mon, 19 May 2014There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford
Tue, 07 Jan 2014
The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
