Original California, Black Plate Un-restored 1947 Ford Pickup 1/2 Ton Truck on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
Solid, unrestored, original California black plate truck with flat head V8 and with current
registration, clear title and "truckload" of spare parts. This is a rare driver which has been in constant use and care all its life, not a barn find or a restored one. Ideal for someone to just enjoy driving while planning a restoration, or restore to whatever level you want. No need to remove and replace many non-original parts those trucks typically have. Rebuilt transmission and a new clutch in the last 5 years,
engine rebuilt earlier, starts ok after a few cranks and runs smoothly without
smoking. Good dual exhaust. Literally a truckload of spare parts (see list below) which
you could sell on eBay probably for a few thousand dollars. The original owner died several years ago, the second owner
was a wife of a professional truck mechanic who rebuilt the transmission and a
few other things, I’m the 3rd owner. Paint is faded and oxidized (looks like primer), but most of
the paint could be polished to a shine. It’s just up to a buyer to
retain the current patina, or polish it to a shine (and fix/respray the front right
corner and some other ugly spots), or give a new paint job of any desired
quality (according to NADA guides this is a $40k truck when restored, possibly
more due to its rust free originality). Front right fender got a dent about 3
inch diameter and half inch deep, which someone years ago patched up with bondo
and gray paint spray all around it Very solid original steel all around – original floors,
running boards, fenders, bed etc. Rust
hole in the lower back of the cab behind driver (new steel repair patch is easily available, e.g. a pair
for $80 – search ebay for “1938-1947 Ford Pickup Truck USA Made STEEL Rear Cab
Corners PAIR”) and holes in the front corners of the bed. Also some rusted
edges of the front apron and surface rust wherever the paint was rubbed off
from use around the bed. Brake fluid changed Dec 1, 2013. All bleed nipples operate
smoothly, good lining left on shoes.
Brakes are usable but not very strong (not sure how normal it is, that’s
the only old truck I have driven). A brand new master cylinder and wheel
cylinders kit for rebuild are also included just in case. (Also several used
master cylinders and a used set of wheel cylinders are included). Similarly the
steering is quite loose by modern standards and may need improvement (again I’m
not sure what’s “normal” in those trucks). Brand new tires, tubes and balancing on front wheels. Newer
rear tires and tubes with excellent tread and no side cracks/visible
deterioration. Wheels are tires are of
correct sizes. (Two spare wheels with tires included as well). From what I can tell two upgrades which are not original are
modern spin-on oil filter (several new filters
included) and tube shocks (original lever type shocks are included). In the
cabin the seats and some added gauges are also not original. Most things work, doors close and lock (from inside) nicely,
windows roll up and down, wiper works etc, some bulbs may be burnt out. No keys
except for lockable fuel cap (original fuel cap also included). I just lock the
steering wheel with the “Club”. No keys needed to start – just flip a start
switch. The list of spare parts (mostly used) is too long to
itemize, they fill out the truck bed – see one of the photos where the
parts are loaded. Some examples: -
Operator manual -
Brand new, never used set of transmission gears -
3 or 4 used transmissions with shifters -
Used engine parts left from the rebuilt
(crankshaft, set of pistons, rods etc) -
Intake manifold -
Drive shaft -
Rear end (diff, axels etc) -
Multiple half axels -
Steering wheel -
Two road wheels (and a new side mount spare
wheel kit) -
Both doors (rust free), and some front body
parts -
Several window mechanisms, extra windows - Some brand new window seals and rattle eliminating
window glides -
Suspension springs -
Lever type shock absorbers -
Several carburetors -
Starters, generators -
Several water pumps -
Several brake master cylinders (one brand new)
and other brake parts -
A few (3?) sets of hood “noses” with handles which opens the hood -
Air filter, several oil filters -
About 20 old engine oil cans with oil (those are
collector items now with prices starting at $10 and going up depending on
rarity) -
Horn -
Lift jack - Hub caps -
Front wheel spindles -
Other stuff IMPORTANT: I will not load or pack the spare parts, you need
to come and get them or send someone to get/pack them. Price includes all the
spare parts but if you are unable to collect the parts you will not get any
refunds for them. The truck may also be purchased locally so I reserve the
right to end the auction at any time. True mileage unknown, the mileage shown is a recent odometer read out. Thank you for your interest and good luck bidding! |

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
From Expedition to Navigator: our predictions for Lincoln's SUV
Tue, Feb 7 2017In the midst of all the buzz surrounding the new aluminum Ford Expedition and Expedition Max, we remembered the other large SUV the Ford Motor Company showed last year, the Lincoln Navigator concept. And since the Navigator has historically been built on the Expedition platform, we figured there's no better time to focus some of our predictions for the big Lincoln. First off, let's take a look at design. Having seen the new Expedition, we're fairly confident that the Navigator will look almost exactly like its concept. The strong similarities between two mean the Expedition serves as a preview of what a production Navigator will look like. For example, both vehicles' greenhouses we can see that the shape of the C-pillars are nearly identical. The only difference is that the Expedition's are painted body color, while the Navigator's are painted black. Additionally, the character line running along the top of the doors on both vehicles is roughly the same height. The same goes for the more subtle crease near the bottom of the doors. We also see no reason why Lincoln wouldn't use the full width taillights, fender vent, and grille treatment it used on the concept. Those are all easy design changes to create differentiation, and they're all right inline with the cues set by the Continental. View 15 Photos For powertrain, we're pretty certain the 400-horsepower 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 previewed on the concept is a certainty now. The Expedition and Expedition Max will be offered with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost as well, so we know it will fit. We expect the Expedition's engine will produce 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque as it does in the F-150. That's less power than the Navigator concept, but it would be reasonable to make the production Navigator a bit more powerful than its lowly Ford brethren to help justify the increased price tag. Towing capacity will probably be about the same between the Ford and Lincoln, which should be something over 9,000 pounds. The Navigator will probably use the same two-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive drivetrains, too. Inside is where the Expedition and Navigator will likely differ the most, particularly in seating. The Expedition offers seating for up to eight with an available second-row bench seat, and the Navigator concept had captain's chairs for every row. We're expecting the Navigator will only offer second-row captain's chairs since the cramped third row would be a waste of nice buckets.
Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
