Up for sale is my 1933 Ford pickup
truck. The cab, bed, and grille shell are all original 33 Ford steel.
They are all very solid with any/all rust removed and patched. It has
less than perfect bodywork but is very presentable as a "driver quality"
hotrod. It has pitting and minor dents here and there but is overall
pretty good. The cab has been chopped approx. 6 inches and channeled 4
inches. The bed has had the floor raised to accommodate the rear kick
up in the frame. The grille has been sectioned 2 inches at the bottom
to allow for better ground clearance. The front fenders were made from
a 36 Ford spare tire cover. They are mounted to the front brake backing
plates and turn with the wheels. It is painted with a single stage flat
burgundy enamel. The belt lines and firewall are painted with single
stage satin black. The suspension/frame and wheels have all been
painted with single stage satin black as well. The frame is original
Ford Model A from the cowl forwards. From the cowl back is 2x3 box
tubing. The frame is very strong and well built. Front suspension is a
SuperBell 4" dropped I-beam axle with a Posies spring. Original 40
Ford split wishbones hold it in place. Hotrod style tube shocks hung
from Ford F1 style shock/headlight mounts. 40 Ford front brakes with
fresh wheel cylinders, springs, shoes, etc. Cross steer set up with a
vega box. So-cal steering dampener. Handles very smooth. The front
wheels are original 16" Ford spoke wheels with 600-16 bias ply tires.
The rear wheels are original 18" Ford spoke wheels with 600-18 bias ply
tires. All tires have tubes and are balanced well. Original 32 Ford
truck center caps have been painted to match the wheels. Engine is a GM
performance crate 350 small block chevy. It's the "Mexican" block
which supposedly has the higher nickel content in the casting. RV cam.
Vintage Offenhauser 3x2 intake with 3 freshly rebuilt Holley 94 2bbl
carbs. They work off an Eelco progressive linkage. They are tuned very
well and fire right up. Idles very smooth. There is an Edelbrock
mechanical choke cable that runs to the dash but I have literally never
used it. Homemade lakes style headers with internal baffles. They have
been wrapped so you won't burn your leg off if you accidentally lean up
against them after it's been running. Original Delco 12v generator was
recently rebuilt and charges the new sealed battery located under the
bed. The engine has 2317 trouble free miles since completion.
Transmission is a 350Turbo. Shifts very smooth. New Lokar buttonless
shifter with an old glass door knob for the shift knob. Rearend is an
early GM g-body rear axle. It's located by a pair of hairpin radius
rods and a panhard bar. A Posies 40 Ford rear spring gives it a smooth
ride. The rear brakes are good. It has a higher gear ratio so very
smooth/low RPM on the highway. Still plenty of get-up-and-go off the
line. Engine is cooled by a 65 Mustang radiator that is copper/brass
construction and is new. 12 gallon poly gas tank is in the rear of the
bed. The truck has been professionally wired with a Speedway 12 circuit
wiring harness. all wiring is hidden or loomed with a factory style
loom so you don't see any of it. All running lights, headlights, turn
signals, hazards, and brights work as they should. New Equus black face
gauges. Water temp, oil pressure, speedo and odometer work. There is a
working cigarette lighter in the dash for a cell phone charger.
Original Guide 682c headlights. 33 Ford truck tail lights. New black
automotive grade carpet was installed. Seat bottoms are from a 60's VW
bug. The seat back is custom made for the truck. Very comfortable to
ride in. I am 6'3" tall and fit okay. Steering wheel is a 13" mooneyes
3 spoke. Lokar throttle and brake pedals. Door handles work as they
should. Working cowl vent and pop-out windshield with automotive safety
glass, not plexi or lexan. There is a modified hand operated
windshield wiper on the drivers side if you get caught in the rain. The
bed sports a real wood bed floor and oak side rails that have been
stained/finished very well. All in all this is a very well built hot
rod truck that is meant to be driven. It is a fresh build and has not
been shown or even pinstriped so it's your chance to finish it and show
it/drive it as your own. It has been adult owned and maintained so it
has not been beat on or mis-used.
VIDEO - I've had some requests to hear the truck running so here is a link to a youtube video of the truck being started, revved and a shot of the oil pressure gauge with the engine running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTS8pLsIvGM&feature=youtube_gdata_player |

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
Shelby American cleans house of 14 concept cars
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Typically when an automaker rolls out a concept car or pre-production prototype, it does its tour and then disappears into the company's archives. Maybe it will be displayed for the public to see in the company's own museum or maybe it will spend most of its time under covers in a warehouse somewhere, but every once in a while, an automaker will open up its history and start selling off its concept cars. For Shelby American, "once in a while" has just rolled around.
The House that Carroll Built is moving from its previous headquarters at Las Vegas Motor Speedway to a new facility off of the Las Vegas strip, and in the process is liquidating fourteen of the rarest cars in its collection. That presents a tremendous opportunity for muscle car collectors to bring one or more of these snakes home.
As you might expect, the catalog is composed mostly of Mustangs, but not exclusively. There's a pair of 289 Cobras: the last of the 50th anniversary slab-sided continuation cars and an original development vehicle, offered at $200,000 apiece. At the other end of the spectrum you'll find the 2013 Shelby Raptor concept for $125k and Focus concept for $50k. And of course there are the Mustangs.
