1950 Ford F-1 Truck Restored on 2040-cars
Burlington, North Carolina, United States
|
I have a 1950 Ford F-1 pickup that has been under restoration for about 5 years. The cab was removed and the chassis was sandblasted and treated with POR 15. All brakes have been redone and are power. Cab is rust free and was stripped and sealed and then painted with base coat / clear coat. Originally had a flathead engine but was replaced with a 351-Windsor and C-6 automatic transmission out of a Ford van with only 60K miles. It has a 8" Granada rearend and Granada front disc brakes. It has a Fatman rack and pinion steering system. It has later model Cadillac tilt-wheel and leather wrapped stering wheel. The original 6V system has been converted to 12V with some re-wiring taken place. All interior has been replaced with a new reproduction upholstery kit. All glass and rubber have been replaced with new parts. Has Ford Ranger 15" wheels with real good tires approximately 70%. Has original steel bumpers painted black. The front bumper has now been mounted on the truck. Overall the truck is "original" except for the drivetrain. All steel is original Ford parts including the running boards. The bed is original and the floor has been replaced with a piece of solid oak plywood grooved for the stanless steel strips. The plywood was stained and sealed although it got wet a couple of times and has now buckled in a few places. (see pics) New dual exhaust has been istalled from the manifolds to the rear bumer.
Overall the truck is in good running and driving condition and stops but could use some "tweaking." The transmission may need a stall converter since it jerks when shifting from R to N to D and spins the tires. This was a suggestion from a mechanic who said the heavy duty converter is too strong for the light bed of the truck. The front end will need alighnment since this has not been completed since adding the new front end. The only other issue remaining is to complete some wiring under the dash and to the instrument cluster.
I wanted to complete the restoration but due to family health issues I can no longer work on the truck. I will have a low reserve price much less than my investment. I hope someone can complete the restoration and will have a great old truck for a low investment.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

Ford's Mulally now said to be in lead for Microsoft CEO job
Sun, 29 Sep 2013There have been rumors that Ford CEO Alan Mulally could assume the top job over at Microsoft, whose CEO, Steve Ballmer, will retire within the year. Mulally hasn't come out and said that he's considering moving to Microsoft after (or before) his contract with Ford through 2014 ends, but sources in the know say he's the front-runner to become the tech giant's CEO and has opened up to the idea more in recent weeks, AllThingsD reports.
Mulally is no stranger to Washington, where Microsoft is located, having worked in the state for Seattle-based Boeing Commercial Airplanes as CEO years ago. He also recently was an adviser to Ballmer in an effort to realign the company's management structure to help it become more competitive in a fast-changing computer hardware and software market. And when Ford developed its Sync digital interface, it tapped Microsoft to provide the operating system, Microsoft Auto. Perhaps the least crucial connection - but nonetheless an important one - is that Mulally still owns a house in the Seattle area, and it's been said he wants to return there, according to AllThingsD.
A main challenge Microsoft's next CEO will face is how to manage the company's numerous, fractured operations and, eventually, streamline them. But even on this front, Mulally has experience; after all, it was he who ushered in an era of global Ford vehicles, after the automaker had become complacent developing and selling vehicles by region leading up to the economic recession of 2008-2009.
Shelby boosts production of 575-hp Raptor on early demand
Mon, 08 Apr 2013Shelby American unveiled its all-new Shelby Raptor at the New York Auto Show last month, saying that it would build just 100 examples of its off-road bad boy, a pickup priced at $17,995 over the cost of the donor Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. But the Las Vegas outfit apparently underestimated just how popular the supercharged 575-horsepower 4x4 would actually be.
Strong early demand reportedly has Shelby singing a whole new tune, as the company is now saying it will build upwards of 500 units annually. While the increased production will likely make for at least 400 more happy owners, those who were on the original short list - possibly speculating on future values - might not be grinning as much. Needless to say, the company has assured everyone that each and every one of the modified Raptors will still be listed in the official Shelby registry.
Keep in mind that Ford isn't sitting idle on its trophy-truck-for-the-street, either. The company will reveal its own 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor Special Edition this month.
Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
