1956 Ford vintage and classic F-250, same body as F100, 4 speed with a VERY UNIQUE engine and overdrive trans package. Here's your chance to pick up a very solid truck for restoration or customizing.

Has California title registered through Jan 2015. Includes a new factory repair manual and truck cover.

It has a 50's era V-8 Lincoln engine which was a sought after engine (Hot Rod Lincoln) at that time. The casting number on the intake manifold and block shows it is a ECU series. Whoever put this combination in was going to make a very cool rod. It currently doesn't run.

The body is virtually rust free (some surface rust) with some bondo. VERY solid cab, doors, fenders, hood, frame. Looks like the cab floor has been sandblasted and painted. It has the original seat and gas tank. Front bumper is missing, though readily available, and the rear bumper was customized. The bed has been lined with aluminum panels.

The transmission is a full synchro 4 speed with letters OD in the middle of the shifter knob which is very rare. May have come out of an F500, I've also been told it could be a Clark 5 speed made for big trucks. Clutch works and it does shift. The brakes feel like they still work. Lots of original parts still on the truck.

The 8 lug rear end was on a F250 and the 5 lug front spindles where swapped and has disc brakes installed. Also installed is an auxiliary gas tank underneath the rear of the bed. It is a very sanitary installation. It looks like an installed option with a tank switch lever in the floor of the cab.

Has most of the original dash parts and the cab is in good condition. The hood has been modified which for an original restoration would need to be changed back but for a rodder would be perfect in that it slides and tilts forward - no head banging.

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.

2015 Ford F-150 gets Power Wheels treatment [w/video]

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

With the introduction of its forthcoming 2015 F-150, Ford is breaking with convention by shifting from steel-intensive construction to aluminum. But what if it weren't made of metal altogether? What if it were made of plastic instead, and packed an electric motor instead of an internal-combustion engine?
Feast your eyes, boys and girls, on the new Power Wheels F-150. Built by Fisher-Price and licensed by Ford, the third-generation ride-on toy started development nine months before the full-size version debuted at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, and is hitting sidewalks and driveways across the country this September.
The Power Wheels F-150 carries a sticker price of $349.99, and there's a special version at Toys R Us with LED headlamps (just like the real F-150) for an extra $10.

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
