This is an almost complete and darn solid 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup project that I am listing for a friend. I will answer any questions you may have through eBay. The owner wishes to sell this truck as a COMPLETE PACKAGE. He is not interested in selling parts until the complete truck is sold, at which time there will be quite a few duplicate parts left over. The initial buyer will be blessed with first choice on ALL parts, and will receive ONE of each part needed for the project. (Example: There are two sets of grille "guards", one painted and one chrome. The buyer gets his/her choice of either set.) Payment of a $250 deposit is required within 48hrs of auction end. PayPal cannot be accepted for anything but the deposit!! (Please see payment terms)
The entire body has been removed from this truck, the frame cleaned, sanded, primed and painted. The frame appears to be in excellent condition, straight, solid and with no rust. We believe the transmission, differential, axles and springs to be original and all appear to be in very good condition. Braking system is of unknown condition as we have not driven the truck. The cab is loosely attached to the frame for transport. As shown in the pix, it will require rear corner repair or replacement cab corners. As far as I can find, this is the only significant body "rot" on the entire truck. The dash is solid and unmolested, the floorboard is solid and the rear of the cab is straight and solid. The roof is straight and solid except for a small, poorly repaired hole where a CB antenna was mounted. This small hole (1/4") will need repair. The firewall appears solid and unmolested. The transmission cover has some rust, but there are two replacements from which to choose. Door posts and glass frames seem very solid and straight. Front and rear windshield glass is included, but is the original, showing some stains and minor clouding. No cracks or chips that I could find. Windshield rubber (new) is included.
Motor is the original Flathead V-8 for 1951. It is believed to be in running condition. We removed the heads to examine the cylinder walls and piston "slop". There is very little movement (side to side) indicating the rings are not badly worn. The cylinder walls appeared clean and smooth, with a very minor top ridge. The motor turns over freely and smoothly. The only missing part (from the motor) of which I am aware is the carburetor. It appeared to be in good condition, so we removed it, wrapped it in oily rags, and put it in a safe place. If we find it before the buyer takes the truck it will be included. Please bid with the assumption that you will need a carburetor. Oil bath air cleaner is included. New Mallory Distributor cap is included. New points and condenser are included.
The transmission is a three speed, column shift. We believe the transmission, clutch, pressure plate and shift linkage to be in good condition, but we cannot guarantee this because we have never driven the truck under power. The transmission shifts in and out of all gears smoothly, and the clutch engages/disengages. The column shifter appears complete and functional. I believe the column in the truck is a "floor shift" version installed temporarily. The steering wheel is original, serviceable but should be restored.
The front fenders are very solid and straight, but NOT PERFECT!! Very small "dings" are present, and at the very bottom corners/lips there are small stress cracks and some minor rust. The smaller (bottom extension) fender pieces are quite solid. If you are familier with these truck fenders you will recognize these as EXCELLENT for used fenders. All the various components of the front grille, hood shelf, hood latch, radiator support, splash guard, grill guards, park lights, headlight buckets, battery tray, etc. are present and in good, solid used condition. The hood is solid and straight with minor imperfections. Hood brackets, springs, latches and trim are all included.
Truck doors are VERY solid and straight, with hinges still attached. Hinges have very little play. All 4 pieces of door glass are included, but are the originals with some staining/clouding. No cracks or chips that I could see. Metal door insert panels are in good condition. Window risers and door latch assemblies are present and appear in good condition. New glass channels are included. (Note: I only have pix of one door. The other door is in just the same condition!) Original window cranks are included, but one interior door handle and one exterior door handle are missing. If we find them they will be included with the truck.
The pickup bed is pretty remarkable.....I don't think I've ever seen bedsides as good as these. I believe them to be used original parts, but they are amazingly solid and damage free. The rear fenders are very good, solid originals with minor dings. The tailgate is not perfect, but is solid and very repairable. The bottom tube needs a little straightening/smoothing but is solid! The front panel is smooth and solid (very heavy but may be a reproduction). New bed support crossmembers are included. A complete (NEW) oak bed floor kit (with stainless steel runner strips) is included. (Pix just shows part of the kit.) I think the bolts are missing.
Both the original wiring harness (good original condition) and a high quality new harness are included. Two very good headlight buckets with inner and outer chrome trim are included. The speedometer and instrument cluster appear to be in VERY GOOD and complete condition. The heater appears complete/solid but is untested. The heavy duty radiator appears in good condition but is untested. Front and rear bumpers and all brackets are in very good condition. The original choke and throttle cables are included, as are the ash tray, cowl vent assembly and HUNDREDS of new and used rubber seals, bushings, gaskets, body shims and small parts are included. Please look carefully at ALL of the pix........most of the available parts are shown, but not everything.
The only parts MISSING from this project truck (as far as we can determine) are the original 16" wheels, the seat, the carburetor and the taillights. I am NOT a "Ford Expert", so I may have missed something that you need to know. PLEASE ask questions BEFORE bidding!! Please look carefully at the pictures!! I have described this truck to the best of my ability, but it is the BIDDER'S RESPONSIBILITY to clarify any confusion or ask any questions prior to entering into a buyer's contract. I will help any way I can!!
The truck is available for viewing and pickup in Hudson, FL (Central West Coast) or I can deliver for $1.00 per loaded mile. (anywhere in lower 48) If you wish to arrange other transport the owner will help with loading.
NOTE: I could not load all the pix of the smaller parts due to eBay restrictions. Serious "shoppers" may request extra pix through eBay messages/questions or ask about specific items. Thanks!
NOTE: The front fenders alone (4 pieces) cost the owner $500, and the Oak Bed Kit lists for about $350...........If you do the math you will see that this rock solid project truck is a STEAL at double the starting bid!!
NOTE: The truck is for sale locally, so the owner reserves the right to end the auction early and cancel any existing bids. I suggest bidding seriously to eliminate that possibility.

For thousands of US auto workers, the downturn is already here
Thu, Jun 22 2017LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Wall Street is fretting that the auto industry is heading for a downturn, but for thousands of workers at General Motors factories in the United States, the hard times are already here. Matt Streb, 36, was one of 1,200 workers laid off on Jan. 20 - inauguration day for President Donald Trump - when GM canceled the third shift at its Lordstown small-car factory here. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze sedan, the only vehicle the plant makes, have nosedived as consumers switch to SUVs and pickup trucks. Streb is looking for another job, but employers are wary because they assume he will quit whenever GM calls him back. "I get it," said Streb, who has a degree in communications, "but it's frustrating." Layoffs at Lordstown and other auto plants point to a broader challenge for the economy in Midwestern manufacturing states and for the Trump administration. "This is about economics, not what Trump says. Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." The auto industry's boom from 2010 through last year was a major driver for manufacturing job creation. The fading of that boom threatens prospects for US industrial output and job creation that were central to Trump's victory in Ohio and other manufacturing states. "This is about economics, not what Trump says," said Robert Morales, president of United Auto Workers (UAW) union Local 1714, which represents workers at GM's stamping plant at Lordstown. "Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." Last week the Federal Reserve said factory output fell 0.4 percent in May, the second decline in three months, due partly to a 2 percent drop in motor vehicles and parts production. Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has compiled data from government sources that show the auto industry punching higher than its weight in job creation in recent years - accounting for between 60 percent and 80 percent of all US manufacturing jobs added in 2015 and 2016. In the first quarter of this year, the auto industry accounted for less than 2 percent of the 45,000 manufacturing jobs created. "There's no argument with the idea that auto has been pulling the manufacturing sled up the mountain for the last three or four years," Muro said.
Ford dealer loses Super Bowl bet, pays $300K to lucky customers [w/video]
Tue, 11 Feb 2014A Missouri Ford dealership's Super Bowl weekend sale cost it big when the improbable happened. Hutcheson Ford ran a promotion from January 29 to February 1, called the Super Weekend Sale. The gist was, if any customer purchased a vehicle between those dates and either the opening or second-half kickoff of the big game was returned for a touchdown, the dealership would refund the purchase price.
In the dealership's defense, it seemed like a safe bet. According to the mathematicians, there was just a 2.5-percent chance of either half opening with a touchdown return. But that didn't stop Seattle's Percy Harvin from doing his part to ruin Denver's evening, returning the second-half kick for an 87-yard touchdown run. Twelve Hutcheson customers were eligible for refunds thanks to the return, with prices ranging from $10,000 to $55,000, according to Automotive News. The total amount shelled out by the dealership? $300,000.
"At least we're not like that furniture guy that lost $7 million," dealership marketing manager Kathleen Frazier told AN. We think it was a big success." The dealership did take out insurance to cover its losses, meaning the $300K won't come entirely from its pockets.
Ford S-Max Concept proves minivans aren't always minivans [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Ford's latest don't-call-it-a-minivan is called the S-Max Concept, and it's a looker. As you can see, the conceptual overgrown hatch makes good use of Ford's latest design language, especially at the very front of the S-Max, which bears a striking resemblance to production models that include the Focus, C-Max and Fusion.
Powering the S-Max Concept is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, and while Ford doesn't actually list power figures for the concept, previous estimates put the mill at 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet). Inside, there's room for seven passengers and at least some of their luggage.
As you'd expect, the S-Max is loaded up with all of Ford's latest infotainment technology, including Sync and MyFordTouch. More interestingly, there are also onboard heart and blood glucose monitors that we doubt will be seeing the light of production anytime soon. On that topic, don't expect to see any S-Max-shaped vehicles hitting the US market from Ford, either. Scroll down below for the press release, but not before checking out the high-res image gallery above.
