1958 Ford F100 Big Back Window Pickup on 2040-cars
Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
|
1958 Ford F100 1/2 ton big window pickup. It has a Y block V8 but not sure if its the 272 or 292 version. 3 speed transmission, column shift. It is a Custom Cab. I've had this vehicle less than a month and have decided on another purchase for my needs. I don't have the room for both so this one has to go. Condition: first, as a disclaimer, I note that I am not a mechanic or body man so my assessment is purely from a lay person's eyes. I had the carb rebuilt shortly after purchase so I could determine how well it ran. I was told it had been sitting for years and the inside of the carb showed it. However, after installing the carb it fired up and ran well. The mileage on this is unknown but the odometer shows less than 100,000. When I bought it I was told it had a 292 Y block V8. Ford did not make a 292 for its 58 F100s, that didn't come until 1959. Therefore, either its a 272 or a replacement motor, either could be true. But it does seem to run well in the short around-the-block drives. I do think the clutch is slipping when you start out in 1st gear as it struggles a little to get going, once you do it seems to perform fine. Therefore, clutch repair or replacement is likely in order. Front and back glass is good, side glass is cracked but vent windows are good. Body is fair, no dents or other damage but there is some rust. I note some rust through in each step which has been "repaired" by a previous owner, rust through in the driver side box in one odd place and rust through on the passenger floor. All of these places would, in my opinion, be a fairly easy fix. I don't think the visible rust is significant, certainly not for this year and in comparison to others I have seen. Lights appear to work ok. I'm not certain about the gauges as I haven't driven it enough to really pay attention other than the speedometer does work. I've driven this around the block 3 or 4 times only. All in all a good solid vehicle for restoration or to hot rod. I think its a daily driver keeping the clutch issue in mind. Truck is sold as is where is, shipping is your responsibility. Vehicle is for sale locally and subject to prior sale. Please contact me with questions. |

Ford reports 58% drop in Q2 profits on European losses
Wed, 25 Jul 2012
Ford Motor Company announced Wednesday that it has posted a $1 billion profit for the second quarter of 2012. That sounds like good news for the Blue Oval, until you take into account that Ford posted a $2.4 billion profit for Q2 a year ago. That is a substantial 58 percent loss.
Ford also posted $465 million in international losses, with $404 million of those losses coming directly from Europe. The automaker also increased its European loss projections to $1 billion for 2012, due in large part to the economic crisis overseas, which has resulted in increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence.
Jay Leno sees how the other half lives with CHP cop cars new and old
Mon, 01 Jul 2013Comedian Jay Leno is changing gears from driving fast cars to checking out some of the police cruisers that regularly chase down and dish out punishment to those fast cars. In this episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we get the lowdown on the modifications made to the Ford Explorer for the Interceptor package (which looks pretty tough in its California Highway Patrol livery).
The new Ford is cool, but cooler still are the pack of classic CHP cars that Jay has along for the episode. A 1982 Mustang, 1966 Dodge Polara, 1970 Mercury Monterey and 2000 Crown Victoria are all in the shop. Better still, Jay lays out an argument for ones of the classic cruisers as the best cop car of all time. Get your guesses in now, and then scroll down to watch and learn.
Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
