This is a 1949 Ford F1 Pickup Truck. I do not know a lot of the history of this truck, but i do know this truck is mostly original. It was restored about 10 years ago. I bought it after an estate sale. I will tell you honestly what i do know. It is equipped with a Flathead Ford V8 engine and a 3-speed manual transmission with the shifter on the floor. The engine starts easily and appears to fire on all cylinders .Compression is 105-115 PSI on all cylinders. The oil pressure is 35-50 lbs hot when checked with a Stewart Warner Gauge using fresh Valvoline 10w30 oil without any other additives. The factory oil gauge works well and is now being used. The Fuel and Temperature Gauges also work. The ammeter does not work. The transmission and rear axle seem to be ok. While much time and money has been spent on this truck, it is not perfect. It had not been driven for at least a year before i bought it. The clutch chatters somewhat, but is getting better the more it is driven. Also, the lifters tick. They are getting quieter as the truck has been driven. The front suspension feels somewhat loose, The master cylinder has been rebuilt and all the wheel cylinders and brake shoes have been replaced. Brake drums were turned. All new brake hoses. Radiator is in good shape and there are no coolant leaks. The gas tank has been boiled out and sealed with a ceramic sealer. All fuel lines are new, as is the fuel pump. The carburetor has been rebuilt. New fuel filter. Wiring is in good shape. This truck has a new factory style wiring harness. All glass appears to be new. Windows roll up and down easily. Air cleaner is included, but was removed for pictures. Bed floor is new. Running boards appear to be new. Please look at the pictures for more condition info. Better yet, inspect it yourself, or have someone you trust inspect it. I have a clear Florida title in my name. This is an as-is, where-is sale. Questions? I want you to be happy with your purchase. Call me (407)474-3782. thanks, jack

Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated
Mon, 21 Apr 2014We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.
Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.
