FIRST I WANT TO START BY SAYING YES MY EBAY ACCOUNT IS NEW.  I RECENTLY WENT THRU A DIVORCE AND SHE GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT DOWN TO THE EBAY ACCOUNT WE HAD FOR OUR FAMILY.  I HAVE BEEN ON EBAY SINCE 2001 BUT THIS IS MY NEW ACCOUNT.  SO ON THAT NOTE.  GOOD LUCK BIDDING.  I START MOST OF MY AUCTIONS AT A DOLLAR WITH NO RESERVE.

1938 3/4 ton Ford Truck.  The logos are very faint but I think it is an oId Union Pacific RailRoad Truck.  I bought this truck from kansas about 5 years ago.  I hunted for a while to find one that had no rot.  I wanted to a rat rot shop truck to run around town.  Frame, cab is super solid.  Bed has one rust hole thru in the stake pocket that can be see in pics.  It has a sunbaked / surface rust patina.  I had treated it with what these rat rod guys use to keep the look(mineral spirits and linseed oil mix).  Needs to be done again.  I had it shipped to our shop in charleston sc. We did some trading and got a rebuilt carb from Bobby at Old Crow Speed Shop in california.   We repaired the distributor.  The engine spins free but the starter is hanging up.  That is as far as I got.  PICTURES WERE TAKEN BEFORE WE REDID THE CARB AND DISTRIBUTOR.
  
The seat needs to be redone but the frame is there.  The bed needs wood and so does the cab floor. Needs glass.  All are available aftermarket.  Tires hold air and have for 5 years I have had the truck but needs new tires.  The truck rolls free.  I feel like it would run and be driving with a few weekends work. Obviously this is an old truck and as you get it running I am sure some things will pop up.  I have some manuals I will let go with the truck.  I have too many projects and no where to store or work on them right now.

Ask Questions.  As Sales Finals.  I have more pictures of every inch of the truck just ask.


On May-15-14 at 19:53:59 PDT, seller added the following information:

There is a dent on roof.  Forgot to mention it .  Not serious.  No rust.  Doesnt leak.    Can see it in pics from right side of truck above passenger door.   Email me if you want link to see more pics

Seat was removed for recovering.  It is all there just out of the truck.

Ford announces first non-pursuit-rated police car ever

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

Ford announced its first non-pursuit-rated Police Interceptor ever, based on the Taurus, which employs the smaller 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in place of similar pursuit-rated Police Interceptors powered by naturally aspirated 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter V6s and the top-spec 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. Officially called the Special Service Police sedan, the car was commissioned at the request of law-enforcement agencies that desire a more fuel-efficient vehicle for detectives, administrators and campus police, who don't necessarily need pursuit-rated vehicles.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 240 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, but more importantly, it allows the SSP sedan to achieve somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 miles per gallon city and 32 mpg highway, which are the civilian 2.0-liter Taurus' official EPA ratings. Ford estimates that the SSP sedan will get 20 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 23 mpg combined, with the help of Active Grille Shutters that open to allow more cooling air through to the radiator, or close to optimize aerodynamics and fuel economy. Those numbers compare favorably to the discontinued Crown Victoria-based Interceptor's 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway and the newer Taurus-based cars equipped with V6s, the most fuel efficient of which gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
If it was driven 90,000 miles over the course of three years, a 2.0-liter SSP sedan would save law enforcement agencies $5,042.92 versus the Crown Vic, Ford estimates. The EPA is expected to post official fuel-economy numbers for the SSP sedan in December. Until then, read the press release below for more information.

Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados

Thu, 22 May 2014

Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
