Selling my 1948 ford F-1 hotrod. The truck was originally a Texas truck that I bought and brought home in 2004. The truck was stripped down to the bare frame and the FRAME ONLY was sand blasted and painted black. part of the body has the original black enamel paint from the factory and part of it was lightly sanded and painted flat black because of pealing paint. there is no bondo or filler in the body, what you see is what you get. every panel on the truck is original to the truck with the exception of the patch I welded in the hole where the fuel tank filler hole was in the cab. The front and rear suspension was removed and replace with a Jaguar indepndant rear with a Dana 44 center section with 3.31 ring and pinion and an Auburn competition posi unit ( gears and posi both new last summer) and a Mustang II independant front. The ride is controled by PRO SHOX shocks and springs on the front and (4) QA1 coilover shocks on the rear (rear coil overs all new last fall). The engine is a high performance ford 390 FE that does need to run on race fuel, it does not care for pump gas. The engine was punched 30 over and has forged pistons, Earson cam, Holley 750 carb fed by a Mr. Gasket high volume electric fuel pump, headers custom built and ceramic coated by Sanderson, Edelbrock street master single plane aluminum intake, custom tig welded aluminum valve covers, chrome oil pan and a Davis Unified Ignition HEI conversion distributor custom programed for the engine and truck set up and it is cooled by a Griffin aluminum drag radiaor. The exhaust is 2 1/2" with Flow Master muflers and electric cutouts located next to the headers and controlled by a switch in the cab. You can keep and eye on everything with the Dolphin guage cluster. The transmition is a TCI street fighter C6 (new last summer) controled by a Lokar shifter and cooled by a B&M Super cooler. The wire harnes is all new and is fed by an Optima red top battery tucked under the modern bench seat. Fuel is stored in a beer keg that is mounted in the bed and bolted through the hardwood floor that came from a farm house that was over 100 years old. There is an antique camel back trunk mounted in the bed that makes great storage for your bags when you go away for a weekend trip. Wheels are new Wheel Vintiques steelies and the front ones have BFGoodrich Radial T/A's on the front and new ( less than 300 miles) Nitto 555R Drag Radials on the back. The interior is heated by a new Vintage Air heater/defroster. The truck rides, handles,sounds, and accelerates fantastic and will not dissapoint the buyer. I have a few things that are extra and will go with the truck including a new set of in the box fiberglass running boards, stainless steel tail lights and brackets that I ran for a short while before switching to the single malteese cross tail light, new never used interior door handles and escutions ( outer door handles are new and the originals are included), window crank handles and escutions, windshield gasket, cowel vent gasket and a set of new in the box billet aluminum roller rockers, shafts and stands for the motor. Im sure I am forgetting some parts and if I am they will be included as well. If you do not want the motor, contact me with a REASONABLE offer and if I accept it I will be happy to pull the motor out and sell you the truck without it as I have several thousand dollars invested in it. Please contact me with any and all questions or concerns you have about the truck. It is not a full restoration and it has some very minor body dammage that can be seen in the video, NO BODY WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THIS TRUCK, I built it the way I wanted it and did not want to destroy the original state of the truck, however that being said it is rock solid and would be a great candidate for a paint job if that is what you are looking for because all the mechanical work has already been done.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AT LEAST 10 POSITIVE FEEDBACK OR IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK DO NOT BID!! The truck was listed a few months ago and the buyer was a scam that tried to rip me off and steal the truck. Also the truck is for sale locally and the auction can end at any time an accepted offer is made either through ebay or locally. thank you and happy bidding.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
Ford celebrating 80 years of Aussie utes as it prepares to shutter Oz manufacturing
Wed, 26 Feb 2014Ford is ending Australian production after 90 years in 2016, and with it may go perhaps the most iconic vehicles in its auto market - the ute. Car-based pickup trucks like the Ford Ranchero and Chevrolet El Camino were always more of a curiosity than a true market force here, but in Australia, they have long proven hugely popular.
As the legend goes, Ford invented the niche after a farmer's wife had asked Ford Australia's managing director for a more utilitarian car. Her request was simple: "My husband and I can't afford a car and a truck but we need a car to go to church on Sunday and a truck to take the pigs to market on Monday. Can you help?"
Ford's design team came up with a two-passenger, enclosed, steel coupe body with glass windows and a steel-paneled, wooden-frame load area in the rear. The sides of the bed were blended into the body to make it look more unified, and to keep costs down, the front end and interior were based on the Ford Model 40 five-window coupe. Power came from a V8 with shifting chores handled by a three-speed manual. Within a year, the new vehicle was ready, and production began in 1934. Lead designer Lewis Bandt christened it the coupe-utility.
