This listing is for a Model T Ford truck conversion chassis that was built around 1917 or later by the Jewett Car Co. of Newark Ohio. I believe they built electric street cars and had nothing in common with Jewett Motors of Detroit Michigan except for the name. I am not an expert on the various Jewett companies or products so please feel free to help me out here if you can.
This listing is for the Jewett frame, Jewett rear axle assembly and Ford Model T front axle and spring assembly only and does not include the rough roadster body, hood, radiator or front wheels that are shown here. The front wheels are of the earlier ball bearing style and I had to borrow them from a friend. I temporarily placed those parts on this truck chassis so that you would get a better idea of the size of this very rare Model T Ford truck conversion. This listing does not include an engine, transmission or steering gear either.
I found this gem at a large collector vehicle auction near Garrison Montana last Saturday. I found it to be so interesting and special that decided I was not going home without it. What I found there was basically all of the Jewett conversion parts except for what I believe is a newer drive shaft. I believe the drive shaft is from a 1940's or early 1950's Chrysler product that had the enclosed pin type of U-Joint that was covered by a rubber boot.
This Jewett conversion was installed on a bare 1925 or earlier Model T Ford frame when I found it and that frame is still with this truck chassis. I added an earlier Model T Ford front axle assembly with ball bearing spindles and a Ford front spring so that some front wheels could be installed to make the chassis look better. I had to borrow those front wheels from a friend and have to return them to him so they are not included with this truck chassis.
The wheelbase of this truck conversion is about inches. The Jewett frame rails extend about inches behind the back of the roadster body. The distance from the back of the roadster body to the center of the rear axle measures about inches. Based on these dimensions, I believe one could have a bed or box on this truck of around feet in length. One could extend or shorten the wheelbase of this truck by merely extending or shortening the length of the Model T Ford frame that is bolted to the Jewett truck frame rails. One could shorten the Model T Ford frame enough to make this truck into a tractor that could be used to pull a small trailer.

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
