Bloomfield, New York, United States
Here’s a sweet 1954 Ford F100pickup! Completed just this past fall it’s as fresh as they come, with the look that everyone wants and all the right modern upgrades to make it drive like a more modern truck. Spend less time cleaning, polishing and tinkering and more time cruising. The truck comes with a NY state registration. This is a custom truck that you won’t find anywhere else. The roof has been chopped 5 inches. The front bumpers are 1958 Chrysler Imperial and the grill has been treated with a POR-15 product over scuff polished steel. The hood has a reverse hinge kit and operatessmoother than most factory reverse hoods. The bed is a Ford Ranger step-side with F100 fenders grafted into it, giving a more appealing look then the old utilitarian beds of the time. The bed also includes a late 80’s flip open Jaguar fuel cap, 1955 Thunderbird tail lights and 1958 Impala reverse lights. The tail gate has been fabricated so it could be removed and a worthy motorcycle could ride in the bed. The rear bumpers consist of a little 50’s Desoto Grill and some 50’s Chevy bumper parts. The running boards are even completely unique. The windshield is a polycarbonate plastical so included with the sale is a solid side glass kit that will still need tobe installed. The paint is a Hot Rod Flatz SteelBlue with old school scallops in a darker navy blue and finished off with beautiful pinstripes laid down by Mark Matyjakowski. http://www.pinheadlounge.com/MarkMatyjakowski The bed has beenlined with a super hard two part epoxy tan finish that will take a hatchet tochip and should possibly outlast the steel it’s applied to. The truck has the drive train of a1994 Ford Ranger which includes power steering, power brakes, disc brakes upfront, independent front suspension and an automatic transmission. This makes maintenance on this truck very easy considering all the parts are very attainable at most any local parts shop. The front brakes are brand new, including all new brake and fuel lines throughout the truck, the rear drum brakes still need to be replaced. The front suspension consists of a brand new DJM Suspension Dream Beams dropped I-beams and the rear is a DJM flip kit. The truck rolls on old 15 inch steel wheels, wrapped in NOS vintage Firestone bias ply wide whites. Inclueded with truck is one spare matching tire. The reverse hinged hood opens up toreveal a strong running 4.0 V6 Ford Ranger engine, with a custom cold airintake. (Consider that they have several V8 swaps available for these frames) The exhaust system has been completely replaced to include the manifolds, down tube and oxygen sensors. Some Thrush mufflers finish off the exhaust with a nice throaty sound and a pair of tips stick out each side of the truck for an old style custom look. The Radiator and A/C Condenser are also brand. This truck has that new car smell we all love as a result of the freshly wrapped seat and door panels. This brown faux leather interior looks and even acts just like real leather and durable enough to be used for outdoor furniture. The truck maintains factory Ford Ranger heat and A/C with the controls hidden in the glove box. The gaugecluster is factory F100 with a working retro-fit speedometer. The custom 50’s Pontiac gauge pods in thecenter of the dash display water temp and oil pressure. Finishing off the door panels with a set of armrests out of an early 60's Ford Fairlane. Another nice little addition is the modified shifter that has been langth end and toped with a number 4 pool ball.

These photos were older and taken before the truck was finished to the point it is now. Model: https://www.facebook.com/#!/MissRubySparkles1

Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
How Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra will take on the Ford F-150 profit machine
Fri, Aug 10 2018FORT WAYNE, Ind. — When General Motors engineers were developing the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, some of them joined public tours of Ford's Dearborn, Mich., factory to watch aluminum-bodied F-Series trucks go down the assembly line. The redesign of the Ford F-Series trucks, launched in 2014, set a new standard for fuel economy and lightweight vehicle construction. But armed with stopwatches and trained eyes, the GM engineers believed they saw problems. "They had a real hard time getting those doors to fit," Tim Herrick, the executive chief engineer for GM truck programs, told Reuters. His team did more intelligence gathering. They bought and tore apart Ford F-Series doors sold as repair parts. Their conclusion: GM could cut weight in its trucks for a lower cost using doors made of a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel that could be thinner than standard steel, shaving off kilograms in the process. These pounds-and-pennies decisions will have major implications in the highest-stakes game going in Detroit: dominance in the world's most profitable vehicle market, the gasoline-fueled large pickup segment. What's more, GM is banking on strong sales of overhauled 2019 Silverados and GMC Sierras to fund its push into automated and electric vehicles — a business many investors see as the auto industry's long-term future. The risks are high given the hits automakers have taken from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. Rising aluminum prices spurred by Trump's tariffs are driving up costs on the Ford's F-Series, while rising steel and aluminum prices likewise drag on GM results. GM also has a significant risk should the United States, Mexico and Canada fail to agree on a new NAFTA trade deal, given GM trucks built at its Silao, Mexico, factory could face a 25 percent tariff if NAFTA collapses. Major profit per truck Interviews with GM executives and a tour at its factory here in northwest Indiana provide a detailed look inside GM's plan for the most important vehicles in its global lineup. These big pickups are everything Tesla's Model 3 or Chevy's Bolt electric car is not. The mostly steel body is bolted to the truck's steel frame, rather than the one-piece body and frame electric vehicles. The majority of trucks will have a V-8 gasoline engine powering the rear wheels — like the classic GM cars of the 1950s. Some Silverados will have new four-cylinder engines, but there is no electric or hybrid offering as of now.
