Keep in mind this truck is 72 years old, it is in great shape and restoration is not complete.This is a survivor before Ford shut down production to turn over their factory for the war effort. The only produced these for a few months. Vehicle is sold as is. The engine runs strong and I believe it is the original Flathead V8, it was changed over to 12 volt. The following has been done mechanically: I have replaced the complete fuel system, new gas tank, sending unit, fuel lines, fuel pump, spark plugs & wires and carburetor. The wiring has all been replaced except the front end light harnesses's. Re-cored radiator, upper & lower radiator hoses replaced, radiator pipes replaced with stainless steel, new thermostats, new batteries(2 6 volt batteries included) new starter and and original starter.

Original heater, no leaks Floor panels patched(see pictures) Needs wiper motor, New hinge pins & bolts. 4 almost new white wide wall tires with little wear, other than me test driving.

I have NOS muffler, stainless grill "jail bars", chrome plated hood latch assembly, chrome left mirror, new running boards, new tail gate, headliner and interior kit with panels. Dimmer switch. These repairs seems to have been done by the previous owner: Brake lines and brakes, exterior work , wood floor for bed with stainless strips(see picture) rear bed corners by tailgate. Some rear spring leaf's have been removed to lower. I have these also. It appears to have the original blue paint and then the dark green as seen in the picture. The body does need some work but I feel it wouldn't take much to get it ready. I have additional pictures that I can send. If interested please email me. I . |

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k
Tue, 07 Oct 2014Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
