For Sale this original 1946 Ford 59AB Flat head V8. This is as original as it gets. Original seats, cab, motor, drive train, horn, vacuum wipers, door locks, steering column lock with key, parking brake, dimmer light and switch. Original tailgate with chains. I was the second owner of this vehicle. I have owned the truck for 43 years. This is the truck I drove when I was in college. Had a lot of beautiful girls in the original front seat as well as lounging around in the bed box. All floor boards are good as well as the floor box which is metal. Doors are clean and all work properly, no rust. Have not driven the truck for over 15 years however I put a new battery in it and it turned over and fired up. All gauges were working as well as turn signals and brake lights when driven last. It is definately a one of a kind original survivor and has not been messed with. To go with this I have a brand new set of factory equipment running boards that I purchased 40 years ago. Does not need new running boards at present but they would be nice to have. Also have a brand new bought 40 years ago left front fender. In addition I have a matching Ford 59AB flat head motor that I also have had over 40 years. Ran beautifully and has been kept in my basement. With that I have two original equipment carbureators, starter, coil, original oil bath air cleaner as well as 2 original equipment coils and wires and other odds and ends that could go with this vehicle. A lot of memories with this truck but getting older and am trying to downsize since I have quite a few other beautiful vehicles so if I get the right price I will go ahead and sell it. I haven't seen another 1946 Ford in original condition like this one in this shape anywhere. I have posted pictures of the running boards, extra engine and parts. I you have any questions email me back through e-bay or you can call me at 618-893-4343.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines
Fri, 25 Oct 2013The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
Next Ford Raptor spotted wearing aluminum skin
Wed, 07 May 2014Well, look at what we have here. Judging from these spy shots, Ford is indeed working on the next generation of its off-road-ready F-150 Raptor pickup truck. We've made no attempt to hide our appreciation for the Baja-style truck, which combines most of the usability of a fullsize truck with heavy-duty suspension components to make a kind of performance vehicle that is unique in the market.
What we haven't known, until now, is whether Ford would push forward with its Raptor program now that it has a completely new F-150 to serve as its base. And that's especially true since Ford made the bold move of switching the bodywork of its best-seller from tried-and-true steel to aluminum. As you can see above, the front and rear of this silver truck are clad in current-gen Raptor bodywork, while the center section that houses the occupants appears to come from the upcoming 2015 F-150.
Dissecting the views above, we note a few interesting tidbits. First, there looks to be a bulge in the truck's hood. Second, we see a new grille between the current Raptor's headlights, sporting a mesh finish and two horizontal bars. Lastly, our eyes can't help but lock in on those burly A-arm suspension pieces down below, not to mention all that ground clearance the specialty suspenders bring to the table.
Ford Edge Concept previews new look, can park itself remotely
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It turns out the image we saw back in February did, in fact, reveal the next-generation Ford Edge - at least in concept form. We still have to wait to see what the design will look like in production guise, but until then, Ford is giving us a good idea thanks to the Edge Concept being introduced at the LA Auto Show.
The new styling is an evolution of the current crossover's face with narrow headlights and a prominently slatted grille, while the rest of the design adds a more dynamic appearance with interesting body creases and horizontal taillights. We haven't gotten a look inside the Edge Concept just yet, but Ford is promising a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies including a new self-park system that allows activation from inside or outside the vehicle along with obstacle avoidance and an adaptive electric power steering system.
Ford will continue to offer an EcoBoost engine option in the upcoming Edge, and it will get active grille shutters to help maximize fuel efficiency. No word yet on when we'll be seeing the next-gen Edge in production form, but as we reported recently, it will become a global model in markets including Europe, China and South America. Ford's press release is posted below, but we'll have more information and images up later today.
