PASSES ALL MAGNET TESTS: all metal. All door areas hold magnet (factory weld ridges;outer surfaces; underside flats that look to have a bit of fiberglass*probably just pinhole fill*).

1940 is the most popular Ford 1/2 ton pick up truck. Unless you are diversified in your pick up truck year, style, make, model, & condition, most all antique trucks are near my price. If you are willing to "settle" (any old shiny truck will do) a cheaper, or old bumpy/roundy styling truck of any model is all over internet & Ebay. When you can find a 1940 or 1941 "FORD" 1/2 ton truck (non-project) for less, or equal to mine, buy/buy/buy. The longer my truck hangs round, the more I like it. And, the more I realize my buy it now price is market absolute (& maybe should be higher).

NOW, onto the truck at hand:

Runs good with the charm of its period. No overheat, no oil burn smoke. No start up smoke. No valve taps.

Mostly solid minimal rust original. Exceptions are 12 volt system & later year flathead V8. Has new glass pack mufflers which gives it a nice rod sound, but not too loud. New chrome jeweled exhaust tips. The wood rails added to the bed top is done very nicely. Fairly new tires. The wide white wall tire inserts are just placed on for comparison/more classic look, but are due for actual install Monday. I do have pictures with just the black walls if requested. Most like wide whites, some don't.

Rust free frame & over-all body. Some minor areas need attention. All glass is new (both door windows roll easy ). Doors open/close flush & firm; no drops/rubbing or squeaks. Bed wood & metal retainers are good.

The interior is great with gauges working. Interior dome light added & works. The cab floor & firewall have complete Ford aftermarket repro insulation installed (under rubber mat also). One sun visor (as originally was equipped). Wiper does work, but 6 inches & slow. Steering wheel horn button works & an added ahooga horn with a seperate button, works. All lights & directionals work (four way also).

This had a long time owner. Always garaged in his ownership. Clear Florida title. 904-881-3495.

This has an "electric" fuel pump. The mechanical is just for display? Wait, wait : Price will NOT go any lower. One of the 65 watchers (6 new since 10PM last night & as of 10:22am, 5/22) could own this for a "reasonable" price if the reserve, or accept price is met ; that amount is imbedded into the "make offer" format; this format will not accept anything under that amount. There are several "old" trucks of various makes for maybe slightly less, but not a 1940 Ford 1/2 ton that was the most popular body style & year in 1940, & most popular body style & year in 2014. Some fluctuate in market value, but not this time period & style.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
