Up for auction is on 1948 Ford F1. I bought it and put some work into it, then sold it to a friend and he put some work into it and recently I have bought it back and put some more work into it.
The brakes have been over hauled with new shoes, wheel cylinders, flex lines and hardware. The drums are in good condition and should offer years of faithful service.
The front end has been rebuilt. The front axle is a dropped unit that lowers the front 3" without giving up ride quality. Bushings, bearings, tie rods and king pins were all replaced.
The front springs have been disassembled, cleaned and painted. The grooves have been smoothed out and the edges polished. The individual leaves were greased and a poly slider was placed in between each leaf. The original springs are supple and with the upgrades give a pretty smooth ride. While the front end was off the frame was cleaned up and painted POR black. The front end has been professionally aligned and the caster is set at a steady 7 degrees.
The rear tires are new 16 700 Firestone wide white walls. The front are used 15 g78 tires. The rear springs were also disassembled and cleaned, three leaves were removed. The rear is the original unit. New u-joints were installed front and rear and the drive shaft was professionally balanced.
The engine has 70k miles on it before we pulled it down to a short block. Pre-emission heads were swapped in for better flow. Major components were inspected and then reassembled with new oil pump, new timing gear and chain set. The alternator, water pump and regulator are also new. Of course new plugs, points, cap and rotor were used as well. The carburetor is an Edelbrock 600cfm. Tthe truck responds well to acceleration and does not bog or smoke. The engine is connected to an FMX trans that came with the donor car and is believed to have apx 70k on it as well. The filter and fluid were changed before it was installed. No burned smell or excessive metal were noted. The engine and transmission motivate this old truck very well.
The truck has been rewired and turn signals added. There are two aftermarket gauges under the dash to help monitor heat and oil pressure. The truck holds a steady 30 psi when hot and obviously more when cold. The engine temperature stays in the 180 range with the help of an electric fan that is controlled by a toggle switch. The heater blows hot though the duct work needs replaced. The wiper motor has been rebuilt and works very well for a vacuum operated motor.
This truck is being sold AS IS . And it IS a project. It is NOT a finished vehicle. The truck has been driven on the street off and on for years, but it is not ready for daily driver status. There is plenty of tuning and tweeking to be done.The need for body work should be obvious from the pictures. There is a little bit of rust everywhere. Again, see pics. Windows seals will need to be addressed at some point. And the seat needs to be recovered. That blanket is there to keep the springs from poking through. The driver's side window and regulator will need to be replaced. The window dropped abruptly and broke when the regulator failed. I would recommend rebuilding the steering box at some point as well. There is slop unless you over tighten the adjustment and then you get a wobble under deceleration from 60 -55mph. In other words, it steers like an old truck.
This truck is being sold as is, where is. I can help with storage or reasonable requests for helping with transportation. I will not arrange shipping. I will work with whatever shipper you choose. I will make myself available, meet you tdriver and assist with loading, but I will not arrange shipping.
I will need a Non-refundable deposit of 1000 dollars within 24 hours of the auction ending. Final payment must be made within 5 days of end of auction.Cash or check is fine, but payment must clear before the truck leaves our custody. This truck is for sale locally as well and we reserve the right to end this auction early. If you have any questions, just call me. Doug 804-283-6578. The truck can be seen at:

2015 Ford Mustang earns Five Stars from NHTSA [w/video]
Fri, Feb 13 2015We already know that the latest Ford Mustang is a pretty potent pony car in terms of its performance potential, but according to the government, it's a safe choice too. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently released its New Car Assessment Program crash test results for the 2015 'Stang coupe, and it came away with top five-star overall ratings in every evaluation. The Mustang received a five-star overall score and five stars for its frontal, side and rollover ratings. The only minor ding was a four-star result just for the backseat in a side barrier crash. According to NHTSA, "Although not included in the star rating, the rear passenger's thoracic rib deflection was elevated." You can check out the full NCAP evaluation, here. According to Ford, the latest Mustang has twice as many airbags and crash sensors as the outgoing model. NHTSA also likes that the pony car offers a rearview camera and forward collision warning – two of the technologies that the agency recommends buyers getting for added safety. Watch the car crash in the video below. 2015 MUSTANG EARNS HIGHEST VEHICLE SAFETY RATING FROM NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awards the all-new 2015 Mustang a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in its New Car Assessment Program All-new Mustang has twice as many airbags, twice as many peripheral crash sensors and additional pretensioning safety belt technology compared to the outgoing model The new Mustang is the first car to offer four-, six- and eight-cylinder engines that each produce at least 300 horsepower – a 300-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, a more powerful 435-horsepower 5.0-liter V8, and an all-new 310-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 11, 2015 – The 2015 Ford Mustang received a top safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The 2015 Mustang earned a five-star Overall Vehicle Score in NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) testing. The New Car Assessment Program is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's evaluation program for new vehicle designs established to test for performance against safety threats. Now on sale at Ford dealers, the all-new 2015 Mustang received five stars in the frontal crash test, five stars in the side crash test and five stars in the rollover crash test. "The new Mustang was built from the ground up," said Carl Widmann, Mustang chief engineer.
Ford Fiesta ST customs get wild at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The massive 57-car SEMA showcase by Ford ranges from obvious aftermarket-friendly models like the Mustang, to the not so obvious ones, like the Transit Connect and cute-as-an-explosive-button Fiesta ST. Ford plucked several Fiesta STs for SEMA duty, and we were on the show floor today to get a closer look at some of them.
First up is the striking COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST (above) finished in a black-and-gray digital camouflage, much like that used in the military, and is meant to raise awareness for the Pat Tillman Foundation. COBB also fitted a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake. A new shift knob, carbon-fiber hood and a Kicker stereo round out the mix of upgrades.
MRT got its hands on a Fiesta ST and created a car inspired by Forza Motorsport 5 (below, left). Featuring a two-tone paint job and more performance upgrades than you can shake a stick at, this Fiesta ST is one of the cooler compacts at Ford's stand. A high-performance exhaust system, along with a complimentary COBB induction system, allows the ST to breathe better, while an H&R coil over suspension and Steeda brakes help it stop and turn better than stock.
