Up for auction is a great start to a 1946 Ford Pickup restoration project. The Truck retains its original flathead V8 and 3 Speed manual transmission that were rebuilt by the previous owner. I pulled the plugs and it appears that the engine only has assembly lube in it and has not been fired since the rebuild. It turns freely by hand. The same goes for the trans. We pulled the shifter cover and plate off and it is extremly clean and gears appear to be new. We cleaned and painted the exterior of both of them and re-installed. I do not know much about the flatheads so I am not attempting to make it run. It is complete minus exhuast manifolds from air cleaner to oil pan. The chassis is in great shape. It has had new king pins, springs, and steering parts placed. The original shocks were cleaned and re-mounted but not hooked up. It was also sand-blasted and painted. The cab is original sheetmetal. as are the doors fender and hood. All super solid, they recieved minor body work, primed, and painted with a single stage urethane paint. The fenders were done the same but left in a satin black finish. The bed comes with the truck but will need fairly extensive repair, it is not rusty but has obviously been used as a truck in its day. The rear fenders are nearly beyond repair but also come with the truck. I was going to make it a flatbed so none of this was going to be needed anyway. Also coming with the truck is an extra complete rear end and most of the parts to finish up the truck. All of the rubber seals in the cab, weatherstripping, etc. have been replaced with new. New heater hoses, the heater box was gone through and yes it does work when hooked up to a battery. The wiring harness appears to be new or an unbelievable original. New tail lights, plexiglass windows, and hoses. I also have new faces for the gauges in all the receipts for the new products. What it pictured is what you get. I have a clear title in hand. Call or text for more info 765-376-3486 Thanks and happy bidding!!

V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.

Ford nets $5.7B in 2012, $1.6B in fourth quarter
Tue, 29 Jan 2013Ford brought in $5.7 billion in net income during 2012, which is around $307 million less than one year prior. Even so, the automaker closed out 2012 with the highest pre-tax profit for a single quarter in nearly 10 years, earning $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter thanks largely to a higher-than-average truck mix in the US. That's a jump of $577 million over 2011. Likewise, that translated into fourth quarter income of $1.6 billion. All told, Ford set a full-year pre-tax profit record in 2012. But that doesn't necessarily mean everything is rosy in the land of the Blue Oval.
Like every other manufacturer, 2012 saw Ford get hammered in the European Union, where a deep economic recession continues to drive down consumer confidence. The automaker lost more than $700 million in Europe, and saw full revenue of $26.6 billion in 2012. That's a decline of $7.2 billion compared to last yea. Ford says the market for new vehicles in Europe has contracted to 13.5 million units, the lowest number in 17 years. You can read the full press release below for more information.
Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?
Sat, 13 Apr 2013This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
