Templeton, California, United States

1950 F1 California truck that I received from a family member who bought it from the gentleman who restored it.  This is a very nice truck that has over 20k invested in it and runs and drives very nice.  It could use some finishing touches to make it perfect (see below). I've driven it less than 10 miles and have no need for it.

This is an honest description based on my careful observation but inspections are welcome and encouraged.

  • Body is completely rust free and laser straight with deep red paint. Only a few minor nicks and a narrow dent on roof (out of view) and a small crack in paint by wheel (see pick).  Paint is excellent otherwise.  Truck has always been covered and garaged.
  • Stainless is excellent and chrome is very nice to good. The front hood badges could use re-chroming to be perfect.
  • Engine is a small block Ford/2V. I was told that it was rebuilt and it runs as such, doesn't smoke.  I believe it's a 302.  C4 transmission that shift smoothly and positively. This truck breaks the tires loose easily.
  • New dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers.
  • New professionally installed Mustang II suspension with power steering, disc front brakes and new steering column with tilt.
  • Truck stops safely but requires some effort. I'm including a $500 power booster unit (brand new) that is specifically designed for bolt-in application of this truck when upgraded with Mustang II front end.
  • Electrical works (lights/wipers etc.). Turn signals need to be connected to new steering column, but older bolt on signal unit works. Optima battery.
  • Glass is excellent with no cracks or delamination. Some window rubber is showing age and could be replaced, although it's weather tight.
  • Interior is clean and comfortable without tears or stains; velour all around.  Heater and radio work.
  • Wheels and tires are brand new.
  • Bed is diamond plate with nice fitting cover
  • Tail lights work fine and I'm including new set of 34 Ford lights that look better in my opinion.

This is a very nice truck that gets compliments.  The drivetrain/supsension/brakes were all professionally installed (excellent welding on Mustang II install for example) and it runs and drives very nice.  I'm only selling the truck because I don't have room for and use for it.

I don't like surprises (for you or me) so if you have questions please ask and if you'd like I'm happy to accommodate.   The truck is located in ZIP 93465 which is and easy 3.5 hour drive from the Port of LA or Oakland for International buyers. I'll work with shipping companies but shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.   I require full payment within 7 days and there is no warranty with this truck.


Thanks for looking and please let me know if you have any questions!

Ford recalling 2015 Mustang for fuel line leak, 20K Transit Connects for plastic panel

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Ford is recalling 738 examples of the 2015 2015 Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine – 712 in the US, 16 in Canada. A fuel pressure sensor might have been installed incorrectly on the affected cars, and that could result in a fuel leak. At the time of writing the company hasn't heard any reports of any incidents related to the issue, and parties with affected vehicles can take them to the dealer to have the fuel tube assembly replaced free of charge. The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below. Ford Issues Safety Recall for Certain 2015 Mustang Vehicles in North America for Fuel Pressure Sensor Issue Dec 4, 2014 | DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 730 2015 Ford Mustang vehicles in North America (actual 728) for a potential fuel line leak. A fuel pressure sensor, which is part of the fuel supply tube assembly, may have been installed incorrectly, potentially resulting in a pressurized fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Ford is not aware of any fires, accidents or injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2015 Ford Mustangs equipped with 2.3-liter engines built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Sept. 25, 2014 to Oct. 9, 2014. Ford is aware of 712 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories and 16 in Canada. These totals are as of Dec. 3, 2014. Dealers will replace the fuel supply tube assembly at no cost to the customer. *** Ford Issues Safety Recall for Certain 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van Vehicles in North America for Issue with the Plastic Panel on the Sliding Doors Dec 4, 2014 | DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 20,000 2014 Transit Connect cargo van vehicles in North America (actual 19,825) for an issue with adhesion of an exterior plastic panel to the sliding doors. This issue may result in noise, a water leak, a loose panel, or separation of the plastic panel from the vehicle while driving, potentially increasing the risk of an accident or injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.

3dCarbon now offering body kit for Ford Fusion

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
