1930 Model A Ford Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
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 801-550-6042 On Jun-30-14 at 11:41:06 PDT, seller added the following information: 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. |

Crowdsource funding push on to save historic Ford buildings
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Detroit has no shortage of old, abandoned buildings, both within the city and in the surrounding communities. Few, though, have the historical significance of the old Ford Highland Park facility. Home to the very first moving assembly line, Highland Park was designed by the legendary Albert Kahn, and was one of the homes of the Model T.
Now, the Woodward Avenue Action Association is attempting to buy both the 40,000-square-foot admin building, which is located off the historic Woodward Avenue, and an 8,000-square-foot garage. The WAAA's goal is to convert the buildings into an automotive heritage center. The Detroit News spoke to the interim director of the WAAA, Deborah Schutt, who commented, "[Metro Detroit has] not been very good at telling our own story. So we've decided, let's pull everything together and tell our story."
The WAAA made an offer of $550,000 to buy the two buildings, and has $400,000 from the Michigan Department of Transportation and another $15,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. It's trying to raise a further $125,000 through crowd-sourcing, starting a campaign called "Five Dollars A Day," after old Hank Ford's $5-per-day wage for line workers.

If you're like us, the rental specials remind with the original 1966 Shelby GT350-H and its later homage, the 2006 Shelby GT-H.
Visually, the Hertz Penske GT starts out with a black and yellow paint and graphics scheme as well as identifying badges, and Hertz has raided the Mustang parts bin for bits and bobs like a Boss 302 front splitter and Shelby GT500 rear valence to give the coupe its own unique look. The model has also receives performance improvements including upgraded suspension and exhaust, Brembo brakes, a retuned ECU and Recaro bucket seats. As a bonus, Penske Racing's Nationwide Series No. 22 Ford Mustang has been painted to match the new Hertz Penske GT. Other cars in the Hertz Adrenaline Collection include the standard version of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevrolet Camaro SS, Chevrolet Corvette convertible and Dodge Challenger R/T. Scroll down for the official press release for the Hertz Penske GT, or you can always head to your local Hertz airport location to see if they have one on the lot.
2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions
Fri, 08 Mar 2013As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
