Up for auction is a rare 1963 Ford F100 Shortbed PROJECT truck, with it's original 292, and 3 speed manual transmission. This was the last year of the unibody trucks, which means the bed is attached to the cab. The truck still wears it's original paint, and besides the radio it's a very original truck! The truck is a project truck, I got her to run and drive but, she sat for many years and the carb needs to be rebuilt... idles rough. She starts up, no smoking or knocking. Has lots of caked on oil from over the years. It shows 18,000 miles on the odometer, but the truck actually has 118,000 original miles on the truck. The truck has some rust in the drivers floor, and the drivers side body mount. Besides a few other small rust spots that's it for the rust issues. The cab mount on the drivers side should be replaced, or you can just weld it up. The truck will run and drive on it's own power, and the 3 on the tree shifts ok. I drove the truck around the block after I got it running, and it made me smile. The truck has a new Generator, new fuel pump, new voltage regulator, and she the charging system works great. The truck has a New Windshield too. The truck will be sold to the highest bidder, NO RESERVE!!
The outside of the truck has the normal dents from being used as a truck for many years. The nice thing is the bed has only minor surface rust. The bed is actually in very good shape for it's age. The tailgate as you can see has some dents in it, and some rust towards the lower left side. The tail gate stills opens, closes, and the latches both work. The body is very clean with just some minor rust in the lower parts of the doors. The windows roll up and down just fine, and the doors open and close great. The hood hinges are sprung of course. The truck for it's age is in very good condition. The nice thing is the wiring is in good shape under the hood, and nobody has hacked it up! And this truck would be a great candidate for restoration or for a Ratrod shop truck.
The truck is a nice PROJECT type truck! The winning bidder is required to pay a $500 non refundable deposit due within 24 hours of winning the truck! The truck is being sold " As Is" due to it's age. The deposit must be paid through Paypal. The remaining balance is due within 3 days of the auction closing, and the final payment may be made with a Cashiers check, wire transfer or cash in person. The truck must be picked up within 2 weeks of the auction closing, and my zip code is 89131 for shipping purposes. Please email me with any questions, and good luck!! choice!!

I forgot to add that the trucks lights all work, blinkers work, and the gas gauge work... plus it has a new sending unit, and the tank was flushed and acid washed also. The temp gauge works, and the Generator and Oil pressure light both work, and after the truck starts they both go off. The charging system works great. I appreciate all the email questions in regards to the truck, and if you have any questions that you need to speak to me about in person, please call me at 702-321-2457, Thanks Shawn

Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.
Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
