US $4,999.00
Year:1953
Mileage:16500
Location:
Cody, Wyoming, United States
|
1953 marmon. the chassis (rear end, transfer case, transmission, engine, frame, front end, etc) are all 100% original to the truck. this was purchased on the pine ridge indian reservation in the early 80's. this has an almost perfect 1954 body with the original grille from a 53. the body is close to perfect. it had a rust out spot between the driver's door and fender. this was professionally repaired. here are the problems: the right front axle was broken. I had a machine shop fabricate a stub and it is currently installed to make a perfectly drivable truck. it needs a windshield and side window. it also needs a steering column. (I have located one out a 53 f-250 in cody that I will get if needed). this has all the body work done and is close to being able to paint. I have the original wheels that go with it. I also have the spare. this makes a total of 5 original wheels that go with it. it also has the original rear wheel spacers that are almost impossible to find. these are split rim. the engine is the original 53 flathead that was in it. the block was boiled and checked for cracks. the crankshaft was ground 10 under and have new pistons. the motor will have to be honed, otherwise all the engine parts, including a couple of carbs are all included. also have a new gasket kit and bearings for the engine. the frame is in excellent condition. the body had about 63,000 miles on it when it was purchased in eastern south Dakota and the original marmon had under 17,000 miles when the axle was broken (not a misprint) I have all the trim, inside and outside and the original marmon 4 wheel drive metal plaque that goes on the dash. TO ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS THAT I GOT: I had a question as to why I did not have more photos, the reason is I have two big block engines in front, as well a 1935 dodge truck and two motorcycles, as well as a barber chair, etc, stuffed into my garage. those of you who are married can now see the problem. I will be more than happy to move anything that needs to be moved to take photos of any area that is requested. it has the original spare tire carrier. the front of the box that is usually mashed is perfect, again, it may have been a mistake to put a 54 body on a 53 truck, but the body was close to perfect. actually the 53 body had almost no dents, but had more rust that I did not wanted to deal with. I have the door handles. the bench seat is in very good condition structurally, but needs a new cover put on it. the floor pans had absolutely no rust on them. yes, all of the split rim wheels are original to the truck. the brakes are all new, as well as the master cylinder. the wheel cylinders have also had kits put in them. if a steering column is needed, I have access to one and it will be at no additional cost. the entire body and box were removed, the frame was cleaned and painted and put new cab mounts kits in it when it was put back together. I also have the original paint codes for the wheels, body, and grille. the body was Sheridan Blue. thanks and please feel free to ask any additional questions. the bed is close to perfect and does not have all the rust and dents that most of these have. the main reason I bought this body, is that the bed was close to perfect. I have made a pine bed for it, but oak was original and probably should be made of oak. it needs completely rewired. all the gauges are there, including the original speedometer with the correct mileage showing. it kinds of pains me to sell this, but I am in the process od restoring 2 other cars and 2 motorcycles and something has to give. please feel free to e-mail or call at 307-899-0776 with any questions, thanks. I will add revisions to this listing as questions are asked. this has a clean south Dakota title and can be inspected at any time in cody, Wyoming. additional photos of specific areas will be provided. call and I will send additional photos, as this site does not allow use of the dreaded e-word, thanks. whoops, forgot to respond to the other question: these are actually f-250 running boards, not the 1/2 ton ones that are normally added onto. |

Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.

Ford issues recalls for Fiesta, Fusion, E-Series, and Lincoln MKZ
Wed, Mar 25 2020Ford has issued two new safety recalls for North America. The first covers certain 2014-15 Ford Fiestas, 2014-16 Ford Fusions, and 2014-16 Lincoln MKZs with doors that might not close properly. The second pertains to 2021 Ford E-Series stripped chassis and cutaway vehicles with a wiring harness that might chaffe and expose important wiring.  Ford is recalling 268,343 Fiesta hatchbacks, Fusion sedans, and MKZ sedans across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with 248,912 of the affected vehicles located in the U.S. The recall says the "latch pawl spring-tab design" could crack in locations where the temperature gets too hot. If the tab breaks, the door might not shut. Or, worse, the door will shut temporarily and reopen once the vehicle is in motion. As a fix, Ford dealers will remove and replace the side door latches. In a separate recall, Ford is targeting 3,631 2021 E-Series stripped chassis and cutaway vehicles. These vehicles could have frame-mounted wiring harnesses that could deteriorate and break due to rubbing on the frame. If the chaffing wears down the harness, wiring for the fuel, trailer tow, and antilock braking systems could be exposed and damaged. In the worst-case scenario, the damage to the fuel pump wiring could cause the pump to stop working, which could stall the vehicle. Those with affected E-Series vehicles should bring them in to dealerships for inspection. If there is no damage, technicians will add anti-abrasion tape over the area and "ensure clearance to surrounding components." If the harness is damaged, the wiring will be spliced and fixed, then anti-abrasion tape will be added. Ford also issued a third recall, but it is specifically for the Canadian market. On 54,292 examples of 2006-10 Ford Fusions, 2006-10 Mercury Milans, and 2006-10 Lincoln MKZs, a valve inside the hydraulic control unit might stick open. According to Ford, this could result in a longer brake pedal travel, which could possibly create dangerous situations if the driver is unaware. Dealerships will inspect the control units and replace those that are defective. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
