CHECK OUT THIS GREAT FIND!

Being a mechanic for more than 40 years, I can say that this is the most SOLID, TIGHT 1951 Pickup I have ever seen. The undercarriage is solid and rust free as you can see in the pictures of the bed. The boards were being taken out to be refinished, to give them a shine and they never finished it. So I left them off, that way you could get a look at how clean the body underside is.

This truck was restored approximately 9-10yrs ago... I was told this truck has always been garaged with a concrete floor. I put in a new a new battery fired it up and drove it. It ran fine. It runs and sounds AWESOME!

When the truck was restored, the motor was rebuilt at that time.

Replacement parts were as follows: NEW DISTRIBUTOR, NEW STARTER SOLENOID, NEW VOLTAGE REGULATOR AND RECONDITIONED GENERATOR.

As far as I can tell it needs: A new water pump (this one leaks), and a new starter (this one drags sometimes). Drivers door has a cracked window, door lock cylendar.

The body of the truck looks terrific in the sun or light of any kind for that matter. All of the rubber around the windows and doors has been replaced with new. The wheels ( KEYSTONE RAIDERS) and tires are in good condition. The paint job is very shiny as you can see. Some touchup would easily take care of a few imperfections. The running boards, cab, bed, tailgate, and rear fenders are RUST FREE, and the most solid and tight I've ever seen!

Inside the cab, the seat and door panels are recovered with a matching blue and white. VERY NICELY DONE.

I have set a very LOW RESERVE on this truck...comparing it to others I've seen in the last few months, if it sells for under THE RESERVE you can consider it stolen from me, LOL...

The truck is on a 5 day auction but could end early due to the fact that it is also advertised locally. If you are a serious bidder... PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO CALL ME with any questions. 636-667-1000

Happy Bidding!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Couple fined for parking Ford F-150 in their own driveway

Tue, Jan 20 2015

A homeowners' association in New York is suing two of its residents for parking their pickup truck in their own driveway. David and Arna Orlando of Manlius, NY, are facing a lawsuit from the Kimry Moor Homeowners Association for parking their black 2014 Ford F-150 pickup in their own driveway. The Orlandos own their home, but common areas such as their driveway are managed by their HOA, which limits what vehicles can park in the open. They only allow "private, passenger-type, pleasure automobiles" to park outside of a garage. David Orlando says his pickup is a personal passenger vehicle and that the rule is silly. He also feels he is being unfairly targeted. A Syracuse.com reporter drove around the Orlandos' neighborhood and saw another fullsize pickup parked in another driveway, along with a large van and SUV. The Orlandos said in court documents that the pickup is registered as a private vehicle and neither of them have commercial drivers' licenses. The lawsuit was filed in August 2013 and is still in the discovery phase. Depositions are up next. New York seems to have gone power-mad when it comes to regulating common driveway activities. In a Garden City, NY, neighborhood last year police were called when two men began washing a new Volkswagen "in public view", which was against a local ordinance.

Trump to meet with CEOs from Ford, GM, and FCA

Tue, Jan 24 2017

In the wake of his inauguration, President Donald Trump is set to meet with the CEOs of Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Tuesday morning to discuss jobs, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and potential tax cuts. Trump has been highly critical of American automakers for shipping jobs to Mexico and has threatened to impose heavy import fees on foreign-made vehicles. Trump has threatened to dissolve NAFTA in order to encourage automakers to manufacture cars in the US. Automotive News and Crain's Detroit Business are reporting that the group is set to discuss how to bring more auto industry jobs back to the US. Under NAFTA, many automakers, both foreign and domestic, have moved vehicle production out of the States to Mexico in order to cut costs. White House spokesperson Sean Spicer said Trump is looking forward to the meeting and discussing how to bring jobs back to America. Dismantling NAFTA would be a major blow to automakers. Trump blasted Ford during his campaign for manufacturing in Mexico, but FCA and GM also have factories south of the border. Earlier this month, Ford nixed plans for a $1.6 billion plant in Mexico, instead investing $700 million into an existing facility. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the unspoken theme was America and American manufacturing. Expect the automakers to fight to keep NAFTA alive.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
