This is a relisting of my nice 1949 Ford F-1 short wheel base Truck. If you do not plan on paying, or you think you are going to try to scam me out of my bank info, don't waste my time and yours. This truck has nice paint and interior, but not perfect. It powered by a Chevrolet 307, Edelbrock carb, radiator has been flushed and pressure tested and is full of antifreeze. It has a transmission cooler, 9 inch rear, runs quiet, drives good. It starts right up and turns heads every where I go. It has all new brakes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder and new lines. Power windows, power steering, with a tilt and telescopic steering wheel. It rolls on newer Ford rims and tires. The muffler is old and rusty and could use a new one, but still runs quiet. Solid cab with clean cab corners. All the lights are new and work. The gauges are after market and are located in the dash. At idle the oil is at 35, the volts are at 14, and the temp reads 180. The fuel gauge is new but it is stuck on full, it probably needs a new sending unit. The wipers are the old vacuum style, the motor works but I have no arms for them. It has the original heater and it works. The motor and tranny have no leaks. The windows are electric, go up and down and the controls are located in the center of the dash. The horn is a ah-ooga horn and the button is located under the dash. It has a older Super Tuner radio with Kenwood speakers and they work. Nice looking interior with black carpet, door panels and headliner. Low reserve don't let this one get away.

Question

.........looks good !..........been looking for this vintage for over a year.........what I have settled on is a basically unmolested 48 - 50 and "daily driver " quality...........does this fit the bill ?.........I have this belief, which at times has proven costly to believe what I am told..........so please be honest ! Thanks !

Answer

This truck is not unmolested, but it has been altered in a good way. They did not come with tilt telescopic steering, power windows, transmission coolers. or Chevrolet powered. The motor is stock and quiet. It is not a race truck.
I drove it yesterday to work and around town ( 50 miles). It is not my daily driver but it could be. I have 3 trucks and 2 cars. I do not really have a daily driver per say. My wife wants a muscle car and there is only 2 of us so something has to go. I would like to keep it. It was tough deciding what to get rid of. I included a pic of my other 2 trucks, and no the 41 is not for sale.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks

Thu, Oct 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford Police Interceptors dominate Michigan State Police testing

Tue, Nov 1 2016

Once again, Ford Motor Company builds the fastest police vehicles. The Blue Oval touted the news in an official release following Michigan State Police and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testing. Ford did very well. Except for one acceleration metric – zero to 10 miles per hour Â– the Blue Oval's Taurus and Explorer-based cop cars were the quickest, with particular praise coming for the EcoBoost-powered models, which bested Chevrolet and Dodge's V8-powered variants. Dearborn's products also posted the fastest average times around MSP's vehicle dynamics course. But it wasn't all positive for Ford. The only four-cylinder in the contest, the 2.0-liter, EcoBoost Ford SSP Sedan, had both the lowest top speed, 120 mph, and the slowest acceleration figures. It was also the slowest in track testing. Ford's products also failed to match the braking and top speeds of its rivals from Detroit and Auburn Hills Â– the rear-drive Charger Pursuit posted the best braking stats of the entire test, while the V8-powered Chevrolet Caprice hit the highest top speed, at 155 mph. Ford did score a top speed award, among SUVs, but at 132 mph, the naturally aspirated Police Interceptor Utility had to share its award with the equally fast, rear-drive Chevrolet Tahoe. The LA County Sheriff's timing isn't publicly available, but according to Ford, the EcoBoost-powered police cars put on a similarly impressive show for cops on the West Coast. We've assembled a spreadsheet on Google Docs that offers an easy to browse comparison of the different stats assembled by the Michigan State Police, and divided the vehicles between standard V6-powered sedans, high-performance sedans (EcoBoost and V8 models), and SUVs. You can check it out here. Related Video:
