1948 Ford F1 Ranch Pickup Truck Short Bed Original Unrestored West Coast Patina on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
1948 Ford F1 1/2 ton short bed 2WD pickup truck with original 95 HP 226 straight 6 and bullet proof 4 speed on the floor transmission. This Nevada ranch truck has been well maintained through the years and is rust free in the cab and floor boards. It has the original factory assembly line date on the fire wall. All of the gauges in the instrument panel function properly. The engine was rebuilt about 25,000 miles ago and does not smoke, use oil or run hot. The carb was recently rebuilt and the truck starts right up each time and runs strong. The drive train has been well maintained using Amsoil in the rear end, trans and engine. This truck is not a fake barn find, it's a maintained original truck. There is no rust in the cab or floors. There are some rust spots near the grille as seen in the photos. The wonderful patina on the hood is superficial rust only, no flaking or thin spots. All the glass is good no cracks. The headlight wiring harness needs to be replaced and many of the original wires are brittle. The tires are fine but getting dry and should be replaced if running on the highway. The truck was painted Hugger orange in the 1970s. Would make a great rat rod shop truck or continue on as a family ranch truck. I have the clear Nevada title in hand.
I did two walk around videos of the exterior and interior. Click or paste the following links to your browser and walk with me. I'm happy to answer questions and may end the auction if it sells locally. Whoever gets our little ranch truck will be happy. It's not perfect but shows its age well and has withstood the test of time. |

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses
Wed, 25 Jul 2012
Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
First 500 European Ford Mustangs reserved in 30 seconds [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014We're pretty sure that any initial concerns Ford had about selling the redesigned Mustang in Europe have been lessened considerably, after the first 500 Euro-spec 2015 Mustangs were been reserved in just 30 seconds. Moreover, 9,300 people attempted to snag one of the coveted orders for the all-new muscle car. Yes, Mustang, you should do quite well across the pond.
The registration event was held during the UEFA (pronounced yu-eh-fa) Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
"We knew there was huge excitement building for the new Ford Mustang coming to Europe, but the response during the UCL Final was overwhelming," said Roelant de Waard, VP of marketing, sales and service for Ford's European outfit. "It was a truly special way to kick off the Ford Mustang era in Europe."
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
