1957 Ford F100 V8 .292 Y-block Stepside Long Bed Pick-up 90,412 Mi Hot Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Longmont, Colorado, United States
|
Here we have a very nice 1957 Ford F100 V8 Stepside Long Bed Pick-up Project in Very Good Condition. Truck has spent it's life in Colorado dry climate and has very minimal rust. Look at the front end, very straight and all the chrome trim is intact in excellent condition. I recently purchased this truck to restore, but other projects are taking precedence so I am going to pass this one on. The original .292 V8 motor is in the back of the truck as shown as well as the radiator. It is missing the original 3-speed transmission and drive shaft. The steering and brakes are working and the truck moves about well. The previous owner started to restore the truck in 1991 and dropped the ball shortly after he pulled the motor. He said the motor ran well then, but who knows now. The project sat at his business till now and the engine was on a pallet inside the warehouse. Over the years, the transmission and drive shaft got lost. I have never seen a nicer original 1957 dash, it is in beautiful condition, nothing damaged and all there. Under the hood, everything is still there and looks like it would be easy to hook up an engine. All wiring looks good and the speedometer cable is there. Cross member is in place, just needs the drive train, engine, transmission and drive shaft. The truck has incredible patina, I started waxing the right front quarter panel and door, if the whole truck was polished, it could be clear coated, the patina is so cool. Passenger door has been replaced as well as the right front fender, passenger door is missing the inside cover panel. All the glass is intact and the windows and door locks and latches all work, I have 2 ignition keys and 1 door key. The front window has a hole, but not from a bullet, and the back glass and passenger window are cracked. The bed has a few dents on the passenger side that can be straightened, and there is a donor bed on the ground behind the truck, it has a good tailgate and other parts if needed, hard to find these step side long beds, I will dismantle this bed down to 2 long sides, tailgate, font, and some bottom slat pieces, most all of it just un-bolts. I will load the other bed in the back of the truck with the engine for transport. The only real rust problem is the inside cab corners on the floor board as shown and the running board steps. Should be easy to fix and make solid, this was a flaw in the construction of these, the brackets under there held mud and moisture and caused rust. Other than that and a few dents, should be easy to fix up, truck is really very straight, especially the front end, it looks great. I have a clear Colorado title and the truck can be seen and/or picked up in Longmont, Colorado. I will be happy to help loading if you want to send a trucking company to pick it up, I won't handle the shipping though. Any questions please email me or call 303-507-0045, Mike.

Ford readying dozen+ Mustang models for SEMA
Wed, 22 Oct 2014Ford is unsurprisingly bringing a herd of its new 2015 Mustang models to next month's SEMA show in Las Vegas. Over a dozen of them are arriving from top aftermarket outfits like Galpin Auto Sports, Steeda, Roush and others. The Blue Oval isn't just shining a spotlight on the V8 model, though. The new EcoBoost 2.3-liter version with 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque is also getting its time in the sun.
Among the shined-up ponies will be a showcar helping Galpin celebrate the Mustang's golden anniversary, with the car is covered in the precious metal. The black paint over the body has gold flecks in it, and the wheels, side sills, brake calipers and badges all match, as well. However, it takes more than something shiny to truly impress at SEMA, and Galpin's Mustang also packs a Whipple supercharger for the 5.0-liter V8, boosting the bottom line to 725 horsepower. Take that, Hellcat. There's even a window in the hood to look through, not unlike a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The coupe also wears new headlights with LED turn signals that activate in sequence, just like the taillights, and the interior features black-and-gold Recaro seats.
Also set for its SEMA debut is an MRT showcar that takes the EcoBoost Mustang for a gallop with its TKO treatment. The black and orange two-tone car has been designed to incorporate select road racing elements. Mechanical upgrades include 14-inch brake rotors with new ducts, a Vortech air-to-air intercooler and an Air Lift suspension. The Mustang also shows off the company's products for added style and performance including a hood with integrated heat extractors and a unique front splitter.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
