1948 Ford F1 Ranch Pickup Truck Short Bed Original Unrestored West Coast Patina on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
1948 Ford F1 1/2 ton short bed 2WD pickup truck with original 95 HP 226 straight 6 and bullet proof 4 speed on the floor transmission. This Nevada ranch truck has been well maintained through the years and is rust free in the cab and floor boards. It has the original factory assembly line date on the fire wall. All of the gauges in the instrument panel function properly. The engine was rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago and does not smoke, use oil or run hot. The carb was recently rebuilt and the truck starts right up each time and runs strong. The drive train has been well maintained using Amsoil in the rear end, trans and engine. This truck is not a fake barn find, it's a maintained original truck. There is no rust in the cab or floors. There are some rust spots near the grille as seen in the photos. The wonderful patina on the hood is superficial rust only, no flaking or thin spots. All the glass is good no cracks. The headlight wiring harness needs to be replaced and many of the original wires are brittle. The tires are fine but getting dry and should be replaced if running on the highway. The truck was painted Hugger orange in the 1970s. Would make a great rat rod shop truck or continue on as a family ranch truck. I have the clear Nevada title in hand.
I did two walk around videos of the exterior and interior. Click or paste the following links to your browser and walk with me. I'm happy to answer questions and may end the auction if it sells locally. Whoever gets our little ranch truck will be happy. It's not perfect but shows its age well and has withstood the test of time. |

Ford offering factory-spec EcoBoost reflashes that don't void warranty*
Sat, Dec 27 2014Buy a supercharger or cold-air kit from Ford Racing and a Performance Calibration handset comes with it to reset the ECU for the upgrade. Now Ford Racing is offering the ProCal handset a la carte for $595, allowing you to reflash the ECU on your EcoBoost-equipped ride to extract more of its inherent capabilities without any additional upgrades. It gives you control of variables such as throttle response, idle speed and turbo wastegate control, among others. As for that warranty asterisk, the press release says enthusiasts can up the power "while maintaining the Ford-backed limited warranty." However Ford Motor Co. and Ford Racing are separate entities, and, best we can tell, when you reflash the ECU, your Ford warranty gets supplanted by the Ford Racing warranty. Say you bought a 2014 Ford, that means your five-year, 60,000-mile warranty becomes Ford Racing's three-year, 36,000-mile warranty, if we're reading the fine print correctly. If you have an older car and have driven more than 36,000 miles, then your warranty options are kaput, at least as far as a Ford in-house option. If have warranty concerns, you might also want to consider having a dealer perform the reflash, or at least ask about it. Once you've got past the small print, what about the numbers? At the moment Ford Racing offers tunes for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost in the Focus ST and the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the Fiesta ST, and we're told there's a 90-pound-foot boost in torque at the crank after you've pressed the right buttons. Anecdotal evidence from a commenter at Road & Track says he went from 252 horsepower at the flywheel to 254 hp at the wheels, and 272 lb-ft at the flywheel to 354 lb-ft at the wheels, but we can't be sure that his adjustments were within Ford Racing specs. Your mileage, naturally, may vary. What about custom numbers for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost in the 2015 Ford Mustang? They aren't ready yet, but we're told we'll get something by the end of next year.

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena
Fri, Dec 5 2014Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action. All these clips need is Yakety Sax as background music for some true Internet gold. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
