RARE 1940 Panel Delivery 1/2 ton. A clear Kansas title is on it's way with a clear reading original frame stamped Vehicle ID number in the correct place. **The next to last picture is a file photo of "vision completed"; sculptured to it's 1940 showroom moment (WHAT THIS PROJECT IS CAPABLE OF BECOMING, & I think this one for sale was same blue color paint). The last photo is my fun 1940 pick up truck is last picture (seperately listed on Ebay for sale.
Solid metal throughout considering. Some inner original floor & side wood still in place. This truck is worth my Buy Now price even if you are going to just remove & install the body on another Ford chassis or onto a Hot Rod ready chassis. Both doors are solid with crank mechanisms; neither are latching, hinges are solid but need correct pins (no glass other then patterns stored in cargo). Rear doors seem decent.
It does roll & steer. The steering column/wheel is correct for original restore; steering wheel is not. There are no brakes; can be put into gear for transport position lock. Flathead motor is stuck/locked up. Has an ""extra fender"" to replace the much dented right rear fender. Has Mercury rippled/custom bumpers. Rear one installed, front one inside truck cargo area. Gas tank is totally bad; I will include a "fuel cell" with foams (about $200 value) for temporary restore fuel supply or for Hot Rod conversion. Beauty rings included. Call 904-881-3495 for info. As is sale. For sale/trade-cash up/down locally.
On Feb-01-13 at 05:20:53 PST, seller added the following information:
There is one of these (1940) a buyer can get for about the price mine is bid to now. It does not steer, frame is shot, body is falling down around frame/dragging on ground (no floor & not much cross support), no engine, no trans, no inner woods, rear doors shot, etc. Which means: you want this truck I have for sale that has some solidarity to it -BUCK up the moola; pay the price; accept the reality. This truck can be lifted off the frame, repaired/prepped for original or hot rod, and bolted back down to its solid frame or hot rod chassis. It won't crumble in the process. $30,000 + market value when done, whether it is made original or hot rodded. If you plan on waiting for a miracle (your price purchase around $3000), please MOVE ON. This will sell for around my price, or never! The frame without the body is worth $2000. Add the body (or fabricate one?) value & ownership clear title with a factory stamped frame; walla-your purchase price is my Ebay price as you see it. If you find another delivery truck WWII wholy grail project better than this at this price-buy it.

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
