1934 Ford Truck, This old Ford has spent more time in storage that on the road. As a result it is in considerably better condition than most unrestored old trucks you will find, it is on the big truck chassis, but all the body parts with the exception of the running boards are the same as a pick-up truck. The body with the exception of the door bottoms is in very good condition. Somehow this truck survived the years without getting all beat up and rusted. The rust in the bottom of the doors resulted from mouse nests in the doors while it was in storage. The doors at present have factory made 7" patch panels temporaly pop riveted in place, fine for a rat rod, but additional work would be required for a good restoration, or better quality rod. There are now door skins available that go all the way up to the body line in the door. I was told complete door skins are also available, but I have not been able to confirm that. The front fenders have no rust holes or rips, and very few dents. The running boards are like NOS. The hood and grill shell still have most of there original paint. The radiator, seat and some trim are missing. I do have the stainless trim for around the grill. The truck is otherwise amazingly complete including all 4 hub caps and the spare tire holder hardware. The engine and transmission are in the truck and look to be original and complete. The wheels are in good condition but the tires are old and dry. The windshield is cracked, but the other glass is OK. The top of the hood has a dent, the cab is very straight. In my opinion this truck would be a great start for a restoration or neat rod. The steel is a whole lot better as is than many "Rat Rods" I have seen. I do not have a title for this truck, E-Bay required the field to be filled in. I have register many old cars and trucks over the years that had no paper work, it can be frustrating, but not really that hard to do. I am including a picture of my 32 Ford Truck Rod, I found the 32 a Hershey and it was closer to completion than the 34. They are about the some body and buying the 32 is the reason I have decided to offer the 34 for sale. Ask questions or make an appointment to see the truck, McLean is between Cortland and Ithaca in central NY.

I had trouble loading pictures, I will try to add more later.
I took new pictures today and have added them to the listing, They show pin holes on inside of door bottoms,and PA license plate covering larger hole. There is one 1/4 inch tear in the drivers side fender near the mounting bolt, no rips in the bead. Picture of back of cab shows stress cracks where cab bottom has rested on the frame after the wood in the cab mounts got soft. The louvers in the hood sides are in good shape.Hope this helps.

US Ford Focus RS to be imported from Europe
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Rumors about the forthcoming Ford Focus RS are flourishing into what sounds like a very impressive new hot hatch. The latest scuttlebutt gives the first indication about when we might see a few of these fast Focuses on roads here in the US.
Unnamed insiders reportedly confirmed to The Truth About Cars that Ford plans to launch the Focus RS in the US in 2016. However, getting one might not be so easy - the boosted powertrain means the car would likely need to be imported from Europe. That's likely going to keep the total number available in the US rather low. The sources estimate a price tag that's a bit more expensive than the top Focus ST3, which starts around $28,500, plus $825 destination.
It seems that a pretty potent package comes for all of that cash, though. The Focus RS reportedly uses a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder making between 325 and 350 horsepower, with a torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system to get that muscle to the road. The test mules also wear more aggressive front and rear fascias, dual exhaust tips, larger brakes and sticky tires. It sounds like a great formula on top of the already enjoyable Focus ST.
Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool
Thu, Sep 3 2015Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.
