1946 Ford Truck, Pickup, F100, Rat Rod Project, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Georgetown, Kentucky, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1946 Ford "rat rod" pickup. This truck was purchased by me in June 2013 and it was my intention to upgrade the truck to my taste as I owned it. Unfortunately a few weeks after my purchase my wife and I decided to separate. Our divorce is now final so it's time to move it out of the garage and to let someone else enjoy it. When I purchased the truck it was running and driving. The motor was a mildly built 355 Chevy and the transmission was a Saginaw 4-speed mated to a Hurst ram rod shifter. Since July I have already sold the motor, transmission, shifter, radiator, and drive line. These items will not be included in this auction. What is included is as follows. A 1946 Ford pickup cab and bed. Both have a really nice patina that just gives this truck a badass look. Doors are included but the hinges have been cut off. Rust is present, as with any truck of this nature, but previous owner has made attempts to replace panels where necessary, mainly in the cab floor. Bed does not currently have a floor in it but it is mounted to the frame as is the cab. Frame is made from a 1930 model A Ford that has been z'd in the rear and has also had a new front end and brake kit from Speedway Motors installed. This kit alone retails for $950.00 and to find out more info on what is included in the kit here is a link to the item on Speedway Motors. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Ford-Wilwood-Front-Brake-and-Steering-Kits-48-Inch-Axle,36236.html Also up front is a set of fiction shocks and a vega steering box. Frame has been freshly painted and shows no sign of abuse and the Small Block Chevy motor mounts are still present. Front grille also looks good as well as the front headlamps. Rear end is a 8.5 10 bolt from a S-10 with 3.54 gears installed, rear brakes are drum. Rear wheels are 15x10 Cragar with Firestone Drag Slicks. Electric fuel pump is present but both fuel and brake lines have been removed. All wiring from the truck has been removed because I was going to replace it with a kit from Painless Wiring that I bought from Speedway Motors. I have since then returned this item. Interior is bare bones to say the least. All glass and gauges have been removed. New seat sliders have been ordered but not installed. Waiting for the new owner to decide his desired mounting location. Steering column and steering wheel are both present with the steering wheel having a quick disconnect feature. Clutch, brake, and gas pedals are included but have not been reinstalled at this time. This truck will roll and steer but you will need to provide at least a 15 inch set of Chevy bolt pattern wheels in order to be able to load it onto a trailer. This truck originally came with spindle mount front wheels which explains why I spent $1000.00 to put disk brakes on it. Truck will need completing. Most items that are installed are mocked up on the truck, so it would be in your best interest to check torque before final assembly on all bolts. I'm sure I'm forgetting some items so I would highly recommend anyone truly interested at this truck to view it before the auction ends. Anything else I can think of or find laying around that goes with this truck will be included in the auction. This is a rat rod and a project on top of that. So do not compare it to your wife's Camry or expect it to be flawless. Work and money will be needed to complete it. All sales are final, with no warranty expressed or implied. Bid with confidence because I pride myself on my 100% feedback that I've been able to maintain for the last seven years. This truck comes with a clear Indiana title. Where my wife filed for divorce so soon after I bought the truck I never bothered putting it in my name. Title has been signed by the previous owner, just waiting on whoever new buys it to add their name to it. Prefer local pickup but shipping must be arraigned at the buyers expense. Truck will not leave my possession until all funds have cleared. No exceptions. $250.00 non refundable deposit due immediately at auction end, balance to be paid in full within 7 days. This is a NO RESERVE auction so bid to win! F.Y.I. Included at the end of the picture gallery is what the truck looked like when I got it and to show the potential it has. |

Ford recalls Explorer and Lincoln MKC for fire hazard
Thu, Mar 31 2016The Basics: Ford will recall 5,536 examples of the 2016 Explorer and 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC. The Explorers have build dates between October 20, 2014, and January 28, 2016, at the Chicago Assembly Plant. The MKCs are from between November 25, 2013, and January 25, 2016, at the Louisville Assembly Plant. In total, there are 3,129 total affected examples of the 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 examples of the 2016 Ford Explorer. Of these, 1,543 are in the US and 3,993 are in Canada. The Problem: The combination of the engine block design and the block heater in these vehicles can cause the part to overheat when plugged in. Injuries/Deaths: None reported, but there are two cases of underhood fires in Canada. If you own one: Ford will begin notifying owners during the week of May 16, company spokesperson John Cangany tells Autoblog. Related Video: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to replace engine block heaters Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 5,500 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles to remove the heaters and replace them with an updated design. The engine block design, coupled with the particular block heater installed in these vehicles, causes the unit to be susceptible to overheating when the vehicle is parked and the block heater is plugged in –increasing the risk of an underhood fire. Ford is aware of two reports of underhood fires in Canada, but is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. Affected vehicles include certain 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant, Nov. 25, 2013 through Jan. 25, 2016 and certain 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles built at Chicago Assembly Plant, Oct. 20, 2014 through Jan. 28, 2016. There are 5,536 vehicles affected by the issue, including 3,129 2015-2016 Lincoln MKC and 2,407 2016 Ford Explorer vehicles, with 1,543 of the affected vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 3,993 in Canada. Dealers will remove and replace the engine block heater with an updated design and, if needed, replace the cord at no cost to the customer.
Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
