Here we have a very nice 1957 Ford F100 V8 Stepside Long Bed Pick-up Project in Very Good Condition. Truck has spent it's life in Colorado dry climate and has very minimal rust. Look at the front end, very straight and all the chrome trim is intact in excellent condition. I recently purchased this truck to restore, but other projects are taking precedence so I am going to pass this one on. The original .292 V8 motor is in the back of the truck as shown as well as the radiator. It is missing the original 3-speed transmission and drive shaft. The steering and brakes are working and the truck moves about well. The previous owner started to restore the truck in 1991 and dropped the ball shortly after he pulled the motor. He said the motor ran well then, but who knows now. The project sat at his business till now and the engine was on a pallet inside the warehouse. Over the years, the transmission and drive shaft got lost. I have never seen a nicer original 1957 dash, it is in beautiful condition, nothing damaged and all there. Under the hood, everything is still there and looks like it would be easy to hook up an engine. All wiring looks good and the speedometer cable is there. Cross member is in place, just needs the drive train, engine, transmission and drive shaft. The truck has incredible patina, I started waxing the right front quarter panel and door, if the whole truck was polished, it could be clear coated, the patina is so cool. Passenger door has been replaced as well as the right front fender, passenger door is missing the inside cover panel. All the glass is intact and the windows and door locks and latches all work, I have 2 ignition keys and 1 door key. The front window has a hole, but not from a bullet, and the back glass and passenger window are cracked. The bed has a few dents on the passenger side that can be straightened, and there is a donor bed on the ground behind the truck, it has a good tailgate and other parts if needed, hard to find these step side long beds, I will dismantle this bed down to 2 long sides, tailgate, font, and some bottom slat pieces, most all of it just un-bolts. I will load the other bed in the back of the truck with the engine for transport. The only real rust problem is the inside cab corners on the floor board as shown and the running board steps. Should be easy to fix and make solid, this was a flaw in the construction of these, the brackets under there held mud and moisture and caused rust. Other than that and a few dents, should be easy to fix up, truck is really very straight, especially the front end, it looks great. I have a clear Colorado title and the truck can be seen and/or picked up in Longmont, Colorado. I will be happy to help loading if you want to send a trucking company to pick it up, I won't handle the shipping though. Any questions please email me or call 303-507-0045, Mike.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
