1940 Ford 1/2 Ton Pick Up Truck, Original Except For A 1950 Flathead V8 Motor on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
A "now" driver. If it doesn't start in 10 seconds (cold start, or running temperature), $500 off agreed sell price. BODY/PAINT: Very solid frame & body (unrestored; "farmer" respectfully kept condition). That means, didn't push/pull a tractor or push the fence down with it. Couple scratches, dings, decent paint job years ago with some non-peeling crackle. Magnet sticks to everything-all areas of both doors, etc, etc. No accidents. Doors do not fly open hitting bumps or turning corners at 90MPH (of course kidding about cornering @ 90mph, but not about doors staying closed on all cornering). MECHANICALS: Yes, truly starts in 10 seconds or less. NO oil burn smoke *anytime*. Clutch never slips. Never runs hot (does have an auxillary electric cooling fan, but I have never had to turn it on even in Florida scorch time of day). Old tranny is a slow top loader floor shifter, as was expected from new. Brakes are safe. Has an electric fuel pump (w/mechanical in place also as just show). Steering box is smooth original with minimal play ( even new in 1940 it wasn't el perfect tight) & no kinking/rough feels. Tires are not dry rotted. Could use a carb rebuild or removal & tightening of lower gasket screws at some point (little seapage on bottom; doesn't effect performance). No other over-all system leaks as of this writing. Roll up windows work good. Cowl vent opens for that 1940 A/C. ELECTRICS: No shorts. New battery 4 days ago (old one had 2 bad cells). All lights work except maybe dash gauge lights. Oil, charge & added temp gauges work. INTERIOR: New (a pinch of upgrade) seat; cardboard surrounds; interior light added (again, pinch of upgrade); mat; glass, etc. New jeweled/chrome exhaust tips. All glass seals fairly new. OWNERSHIP: requires a knowledge of market, old vehicle mechanicals, & the ability to decide on unique time capsule ownership worth paying for. All others NOT need apply. If you want a hot rodded, or "up graded" modernized rendition-need NOT apply. For your viewing pleasure, seller, Howard. Call for a GOOD TIME ANTIQUE TRUCK: 904-881-3495. You will not be dissappointed (& if you are looking at these type of relics-won't miss the purchase money; you & your heirs won't be dissappointed). As a great philosopher "Howard" once said: "Time for another time machine". *If u want to own it, gotta step up to the plate & home run it". This is the lowest priced "nice/usable" 1/2 ton on market (believe it or not). Most of you know, what most are expecting depending on conditon of each truck. Doesn't matter how long you wait, the price will still be more than mine. If its restored its $40k. If its a project drive it next year (maybe). If its a correctly & nicely done hot rod, its $40k Make sure the frame is good on others in this period (especially projects; prepare for new frame or cut & paste welding of 2 frames.). They tended to rust up & over the rear axle big time (collapsable potentials). Words of wisdom, or just ignore my sloppy ignorance. My 1940 for sale example has NONE of this frame condition.

Yes, running driver with a nostalgic repainted logo & a great video accompanied by a great country song. Presentation sells. Sorry, a buyer of my truck will just have to imagine the music, country road & old farm logo. It is a "flathead" V8, better looking, performance, balance, Ford, & time period pick'm up truck protocol. I am working on making a driving video w/my new I-phone 5s, but don't hold your breath (I have linked YouTubed video to Ebay listing before, but long time ago). Buyer: take as long as you want to contemplate ownership. The truck will not desintegrate for at least 300 more years, give or take 100 years............................................................. On Jun-09-14 at 16:13:58 PDT, seller added the following information: ATTENTION: Any sale, payments, & transport removal must be done BEFORE 6/18/2014. Vacation is on horizen. I may end listing early for that, & other reasons. |

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

Man chases down truck thief and steams it all on Facebook
Thu, Oct 13 2016A Washington man chased down a truck stolen from his family's dealership last Saturday and livestreamed the event on Facebook. According to KOMO, a 2005 Ford F-250 was stolen from Sunrise Auto Sales in Eatonville, Washington on the morning of October 8. Aaron Babcock, who co-owns the small dealership with his father David, told reporters that after reviewing surveillance footage, he later spotted the truck while riding his motorcycle on Webster Road East. "I watched my cameras and found the video of a man lurking around and ending up taking off with my truck," Babcock told KOMO. "Cops came and made a case. Three hours later I was on my motorcycle in Graham, and they drove by me oncoming. It still had dealer stickers on it. It said diesel on the window and it had our dealer plate on it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. It was really easy to see." Once he spotted the stolen Super Duty, he wheeled his bike around and gave chase. He attempted to call 911, but was unsure if the dispatcher heard him due to noise from the wind and the bike's engine. So he fired up Facebook live and started streaming his chase, giving running commentary and updating his location as he chased the slow-moving truck. "I wasn't going to let him get away. I was going to try follow him down. I had no idea what to do," Babcock said. "Nobody could hear me on the phone so I just figured the first thing to do is pull up Facebook live." Babcock's Facebook friends pitched in by calling 911 to report the chase and even jumping in their own cars to follow the truck. At one point, he pulled alongside the truck and recognized both men in the cab. The driver was the man seen lurking around the dealer lot in the surveillance video, and the passenger was an old friend of Babcock's. "I know who you are!" he shouted at them, but the hunkered down and kept driving. Eventually, Babcock lost cell phone signal and the livestream ended. Eatonville police, who by this point were well aware of the incident, caught up with the truck in the 8400 block of 356th Street South in Eatonville. The driver was arrested and the passenger was questioned and released. Both denied stealing the vehicle or knowing it was stolen. Two sets of keys from Sunrise Auto Sales and a stolen credit card were also recovered from the truck. Related Video
