I am offering for sale my 1931 Ford Model A Pick-up. I am the second owner of this truck since it was rebuilt as a street rod. The chassis was built in Charlotte, NC. The rest of the truck was build in CT. The truck is all steel. All original steel except the bed which is and aftermarket steel bed. The engine is a 1960's 327 Chevrolet which is equipped with an Edelbrock enduroshine intake and two Edelbrock enduroshine four barrel carbs. It also has tuned headers. It has excellent chrome bumpers front and back. The exhausts are new. It has disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. It has coil over shocks on the back. The suspension and undercarriage work is excellent. It has Coker classic tires which have 95% of their tread. I have installed a new Stewart-Warner speedometer which works. Still using the original gas tank which is between the dash and the firewall/engine compartment. The original fuel gauge still works fine, has a new float on it. Still using the original ignition switch. Have installed a correct steering wheel. The air conditioning (tilt-out windshield) works fine. The headlight bar is a "drop down" style which sets the headlights down a little lower and gives a better "street machine" look. The front bumper brackets are mounted upside down which lowers the bumper. I have very recently added the cowl lights. The turn signals are in the headlights and they work fine. I have just installed new LED tail/brake lights so others can see you better at night. The seats are covered with vinyl, cloth would be better. There is an instrument panel overhead. It includes an oil pressure gauge, amp meter, water temp. gauge and a newly installed tachometer. In that overhead console is an AM/FM stereo with CD player. All the metal is good. Running boards, fenders, corners, bed and all have zero rust. The battery is in the yellow "Things go better with Coke" cooler in the bed. All the electronics work. There are switches for most things on the driver's side kick panel. The starter button, horn button, headlight/park light switch, instrument panel light switch and cowl light switch are all located there. The interior light (overhead) switch is located in a storage compartment over the driver's head. Oh yes, I forgot, there are two storage compartments, one on each side in the overhead console. Each windshield wiper has its own switch. The door handles are original. They pull "to you" to open the doors. There is an electric heater under the seat. It is ducted to both driver and passenger's feet and does a pretty good job on cold days.

This little truck is extremely well constructed. It is tight, no rattles, and rides really good. It will run like a scared rabbit if you wish to get into it. (I don't.) A friend of mine has a '35 Ford coupe street rod and the first time he rode in my truck he kept on commenting about how good it rides. It is not a real show winner, but is a hell-of-a-good cruise-in truck.

I have tried to describe the little truck as best I can. If I failed to address something you want to know, just email me and I will try to get back to you with the proper information. Thanks for looking and good look bidding!

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.

Entry-level F-150 now offers SuperCrew, Sport Package

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Ford has made a few notable tweaks to the lower end of its F-150 lineup, giving customers a more affordable version of the four-door SuperCrew body style. The popular SuperCrew could previously only be had on XLT models and above, but Ford has announced that 2014 F-150s with the base STX trim can get the more versatile body.
The STX SuperCrew brings the price of a four-door F-150 down from $34,525 to $33,145. Like the XLT SuperCrew, the STX will be available with the choice of a 5.5- or 6.5-foot bed, while a 5.0-liter V8 can replace the base 3.7-liter V6 for $4,425. Ford has not released pricing on the different bed lengths yet, but opting for the 6.5-foot bed on the XLT raises the price $1,240 and forces buyers into the 5.0-liter V8. We'd expect a similar arrangement on the STX.
The other big news for fans of affordable pickups is the addition of an STX Sport Package on the base-level truck. It adds 20-inch wheels, black exterior accents, black-and-gray cloth seats and decals on the truck's box. The Sport Package is available on all three of the STX's body styles, with Ford listing the price as $980 with current discounts.
