Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner.

 Offered for auction is one 1948 Ford F5 model Truck with cab, fenders and hood on two ton frame.  It does not have engine or trans.  These cabs will likely interchange with 1948, 1949, 1950 and perhaps '51 and '52 cabs.  

The F5 has been in the family since the 1950s and is very low mileage and virtually rust free (cab, floorboards, etc, with minor surface rust)  
The F3 one ton is also very nearly rust free, except in the base of the box and the floor of the box itself.

It has dents and the dash of the F5 was modified to accept a later radio many years ago.

No attempt has been made to crank the flathead engine and so no assertions regarding it can be made, except that it is intact and accessories are present.

It is a candidates for restoration, perhaps with other parts. It would greatly help an otherwise good running truck that needed a solid cab.

Cab has broken glass and dents.  The hood of the F5 is probably damaged beyond anything but a major rehab.

I have a title - for the F5, and will supply "AS IS" Bill of Sale for all parts (both identified trucks)

I will also accommodate the dismantling of the F5 if the buyer wants only the sheet metal parts (for a fixed additional cost we can discuss and agree upon ahead of time.)   


The Pluses:

* You might see on the surface of the two cabs but it is just that, a thin layer of easily removable surface rust.

* It is a Montana vehicle, for at least the past 40 years.  As such, much of the corrosion and rust issues of other regional cars is not there.

*  Some of the flat glass may need replacing, but then that is no problem.

* There is a clear title in my hot little hand.

The frame,  rocker panels and underbelly appear to be very solid.  The trucks appear to have never been wrecked or substantively repaired.  There is no visible bondo or other filler anywhere.

The Negatives:

* There is isolated rust.  floor pans seem very solid, indeed. 

* There are a couple of the flat glass windows which are cracked - easily replaceable just about anywhere.

* There are a number of minor dents and the F5 hood, espceially, is pretty dinged. 

* The interior is largely complete.  Some of the nobs and handles are missing. 

* It needs all the standard attention any unrestored 60 odd-year old trucks would likely need.

This is an awesome project package or very nice replacement cabs for rolling stock you may have. 

**********

Please look at the pictures and let me know if you need more.  I would be happy to respond to individual issues and questions.

This is an actual AUCTION.  I do have a very low reserve on the vehicles, but it is half what one might expect for this model in this condition.  Bid to win!

Buyer is responsible for transportation of the car from my doorstep, but I will assist in any way I can.

A deposit of $500 is expected within 24 hours of the end of the auction via PayPal unless arranged otherwise in advance.  The entire balance is due with PayPal, cash or bank wire within 14 days of the end of the auction.  

The vehicles do not leave until funds are cleared and personal and cashier’s checks are not OK.

You MAY leave the trucks, once paid for, here until July 8, 2013, giving you an opportunity to come get the car as part of a vacation to MONTANA.  See Glacier Park, just 85 miles away (and leave the trailer here for when you are ready to load up and go home), tour through Yellowstone coming or going; visit the Lewis and Clark Trail or float the most scenic parts of the Upper Missouri River.  Come, Play, and take a new project away when you head home.

Please look at my many years of 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK and BID WITH CONFIDENCE.  I have bought several cars and hundreds of car parts on Ebay over the years and will certainly try to treat you the way I'd like to be treated

I can be reached at 406 4 six 6 two 644.  Thank you for your time and interest!

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
