1951 Ford F Series Pick Up Truck Solid Body & Frame Hot Street Rat Rod Flathead on 2040-cars
Reading, Pennsylvania, United States
I hate to sell this because I
was always looking for a SOLID pick up truck of this era and as soon as I found
this one, my storage facility is being sold to settle an estate. This would be an excellent nostalgic truck to
put together with just sealer for paint and have some fast fun with it or for a
restoration. This is for the complete body and frame with no engine or
transmission. The trim, fuel tank, heater, radiator, door and window mechanisms,
etc… all appear to be there. The glass is there along with new weather
stripping and seals. Since the glass is already
out, I would recommend putting new glass in and it is readily available or the
pieces that come with it can be used for patterns. The frame was cleaned and
painted black with original front axle and it has a disc brake conversion. The engine and transmission mounts have not
been altered so if you want to still use a Ford Flathead motor, the steel
mounts for that are included. I believe the rear may be from a 1953 truck but
cannot confirm that. The body is VERY solid,
especially the cab and doors. The
fenders may have had some repair work done but this truck would take very
little in body and prep work to make it look great. The bed and tailgate is not
bad at all and the running boards will need a little rust repair but are good.
I have learned the hard way that it is best to buy something in good shape and
pay a little more than to pay big bucks for repair work. I took pictures of the parts
that go with the truck and it appears most of everything is there. There are some duplicate parts like wing
window frames and window crank mechanism (see pictures) Used and reproduction parts are readily
available. Below is a list of the new
rubber and seals that are included: ·
Division window
bar and channel ·
Rear window
rubber ·
Windshield rubber ·
Back of front
fender to cowl seal ·
Door seal kit ·
Vent window
rubber seals ·
Cowl vent seal ·
Gas tank neck
grommet ·
Cowl lacing kit Truck is located in Sinking
Spring, Pa which is West of Reading and is for sale locally. Winning bidder pays $500 non-refundable
deposit within 48 hours of the end of auction. It is buyers responsibility to
pick it up or make full shipping arrangements. This comes with a bill of sale only– no title. The missing title is not an issue because you
can get new title based on the truck being put together with salvage parts. |

Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow
Tue, 14 Jan 2014When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
