1930 Model A Ford Pickup Truck on 2040-cars

Year:1930 Mileage:1
Location:

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States

Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, United States

 A classic 1930 pickup titled and in running driving project condition.  I bought the truck with hopes of painting the bed and cab black and installing a dropped axle for a period 40's hotrod look.  The truck could go any direction at this point, either hotrod or close to original with some mechanical updates. Thousands of dollars spent on 5 speed conversion and juice brakes. All work thoughtfully done with quality parts.

The following has been done and all work looks quality:

Drivetrain has been updated with a Auto Restorations 5 speed kit using a nice low mileage  GM t5 transmission. Smooth quiet running stock engine and great clutch. The exhaust is also newly redone

Brakes have been upgraded to juice brakes using stock model A pedals, 39 ford style master cylinder, 41 ford backing plates and drums, new hard and soft brake lines.

Electrical is 6 volt with new battery and upgraded powder coated battery box. the headlights and taillights are not finished wired. I was going to pull the cab and bed and respray before finish wiring.  Engine wiring is complete and starter , alternator and distributor work great.

Wheels are 17" with older gum dipped firestone 5.25/5.50 bias plies. Wheels could use new  paint or powder coat. Overall they are in good condition and tires are  without cracks or leaks.

Fenders are the nicest I have seen on any pickup. The bed is not very wavy with only minor dents inside  and has new oak wood kit with stainless strips.

Cab and doors are in good condition with some bondo in lower cowl. I had plans on fixing with new metal when it was repainted. I think the yellow paint job  should be redone. All glass is great condition and windows roll up and down nicely. Doors close great and hinges are in good condition. No sagging issues with the doors.

Seat has been redone includes excellent frames and springs. Floor has new wood and top is nicely redone

I have lots of money tied up in the pickup and it is well on it's way to being a great driver. The 5 speed ads that needed overdrive and keeps the engine rpms at a comfortable level and the juice brakes are  a must for higher speed cruising. Great project that needs some completion and maybe , just some primer black paint to cover the yellow on cab and bed ( I hate yellow on model A's).

I Live in Coeur d' Alene Idaho and can help with any shippers and overseas buyers welcome. I  have the pickup truck for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell local. Please call with any questions.

Thanks, Ben

Answers to questions? frame started out as a solid original, rust preventative painted and new hardware used throughout. Front and back springs pulled apart, greased then assembled new hardware.

Sacramento vintage ford -MASTER CYLINDER CONVERSION KIT & BATTERY BOX 1928-31 used for juice brake conversion using a 39-52 ford master cylinder.

I have the front wiring new in package and was just going to run a home made harness to rear lights. I also have taillight brackets to run lights on both rear fenders.

Tires are repops from Coker and have been sitting with very little use. A little flat spot on fronts and they need some road time to warm up and round out. Rims are 17"  I believe from 32-33 fords. I was going to buy 7.50  x 17 for rears and run the 5.25 on fronts for a big n little hot rod look.

Engine runs quiet and smooth. I was going to change out the distributor to an electric type , install a Stromberg 97 for better carburation and then the 5 speed could be used to it's fullest. I will include the Large logo 97 in the sale. Engine is fine as is and runs cool.

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.

Ford's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.
