1947 Ford 1 (one) Ton Pickup Truck Project 1942 on 2040-cars

Spring Creek, Nevada, United States

I bought this truck and was told it is a 1942.  I have not checked the VIN on the frame to confirm this.  With the truck came a 1947 Frame with an Idaho Title.  These trucks also usually had the VIN number on a data plate attached to the inside of the glove box door.  I have the door and data plate with the VIN for the 1947 Title that matches the extra frame. 

The extra frame has all of the running gear except the motor.  The motor in the complete pickup is a six cylinder but I have not tried to turn it over.  It looks to be complete except for the air cleaner.  If you look at the pictures, you will notice the extra frame has 4 tires that hold air.  The truck has one or two that will hold air.  This has a 5 hole bolt pattern that is larger than a 1/2 ton Ford pickup.  These are 17” Split rims so however the truck is loaded it only has 5 or 6 tires that hold air.  The distance between the studs center to center of the stud is 4 inches.  And the studs are big. 

The truck has no glass in it except for broken glass in the door windows.  I picked 6 or 8 rocks out of the cab that took care of the windows.  I tried to show the rust hole in the floor.  I would plan on some work there.  The cab has rust in the cab corners but the doors look good.  The bed, other than dents and some cut out holes is not too rusty.  The wood is bad.  I tried to show the worst of the dents on the roof where it looks as if someone got on top.  All in all not a bad cab.  The wheelbase of this truck is 122 inches.  I thought it would probably fit on a later S10 or full sized pickup frame?? That’s where the glove box VIN might be handy.  That’s what I had planned to do with it but, as my wife told me, I have more projects already than I will get done in my lifetime.  Unfortunately she is right. If you plan to use the original frame the gentleman I got it from told me he understood the brakes had been re-done on the 47 frame.  I have not had anything apart to look at that so cannot confirm.

Extra parts include a hood with the latching mechanism and Ford trim, extra set of front fenders, inner fender panels, and grill.  I do have the side trim for the hood and a decent front bumper is in the bed.  Also I have what I believe is a decent gas tank that someone plugged the inlet to prevent water from entering. I also have a set of headlight trim rings and park light rings.  If you have any specific questions just ask.  I will be happy to help get it loaded to the best of my ability. 

I require $500.00 via Paypal within 48 hours and rest before or when picked up.

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast.

Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.

2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
