Before the description a brief history lesson. I have had a lot  cars over the years,mainly V8 Fords, and thought it would be nice to try something different. A nice funky 50's pickup eather Ford or Chevy.  Not a show car but a driver and not to expensive. I found the truck locally owned by a women for the last 15-20 years and only driven occassionally. While it looks like a 53 it is really a miss-mosh of 53 and 55. The cab is 55 and the rest,front sheet metal and rear bed and fenders, are 53.  But I like the look of a 53 over a 55 and bought it. The issue is the truck is bigger in overall size then I really wanted, takes up my whole garage and have not been happy with my purchase since day one. So I want to move on to something else. Because of it's makeup this is not a truck to restore. Streetrod ( how sinfull but ok in this case) or leave alone as a funky old truck to drive around. I always get the thumbs up espically from the women who seem to like old trucks and at my age that includes the older women. Enough rambling with the past now for the description

   Like I stated the truck is a mixture of parts But is a nice looking vehicle. Blue paint was done many years ago and has held up well. You can see a few spots where old body work was done but no holes you can look through. There is one spot where the paint is lifting and you might want to touch up but I have left alone. Truck looks nice in a walk around. Interior was done over and in a roll and pleat. 235 6 which starts right and idles like an old Caddy.No smoke and runs strong with good oil pressure. 3 speed tramsmission with Hurst floor shifter and open drive rear end.New front wheel bearings and seals.Wheel cylinders,drums and linings are in great shape and stops beautifully. I put in new wiring and all lights and directionls  and horn work. New Halagon headlamps. New radiator, hoses, belts, fluids, 6volt battery and cables. With it's low rear,4/11??, it pulls strong off the line. There was an old non original radio which is removed and I have not replaced. Wipers work fine with new blades. Frame and underneath while old is in fine shape with no rust out. 
   I have done some work on the truck but have decided that I do not want to put any more money into this project. I just don't love it enough. I drive around on the present tires but they should be promptly replaced. Drivers door latch should be replaced and I cracked the drivers door glass because I was to lazy to fix the lock and kept slamming the door.Gas gauge and speedo need fixing.Steering should be looked at but I can drive it easily with no shimmy. Probably want seat belts. Have fun and sort things out as you go. 
  Truck is registured as a 1955 and id plate matches registration.  Current NYS  plates and inspection. Sold with New York State transferable registration and bill of sale. No titles in NY befor 1974. Visits and rides are welcome and I can do a Skype walk around. Ask questions and prefer phone calls over emails. Have I left anything out? Bill

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault Zoe recall, Proterra buses log 2M miles

Fri, Mar 25 2016

Renault is recalling 10,649 examples of its Zoe electric car for potential brake hose failure. Cars built at the company's Flins factory between the Zoe's 2012 introduction and October 6, 2014 - a quarter of all Zoes ever built - are subject to the recall, though no accidents have been reported from rupturing brake lines. Recalled vehicles will have the brake hose positions inspected and, if need be, fixed. Read more from Reuters. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts would make the state even more EV friendly. While the state already encourages EV adoption with a $2,500 rebate incentive, the new bill would give battery electric vehicle drivers HOV lane access. Additionally it would set up a standard building code for EV chargers, and allow EV-only parking spaces. "With decreased gas prices, a 10 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled over the last 20 years, and a carpool rate below the national average, we must address personal vehicle use directly as part of our transportation emissions reduction strategy," says Rep. Frank Smizik. Read more from Teslarati. The New York Daily News has named the 2016 Chevrolet Volt as its "Green Machine of the Year." Seamless operation, peppiness, and a nice suite of equipment make it a top choice for the publication. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is all new, inside and out, and takes the plug-in hybrid segment to another level, thanks to its increased EV range, updated cabin, and more efficient gas-powered engine," writes Daily News Autos writer (and all-around good guy) Nick Kurczewski. Honorable mentions go to the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Toyota Prius, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. Read more from the Daily News, or at Clean Technica. Proterra electric buses have accumulated 2 million miles of revenue service. That equals 3,800 tons of carbon emissions that have been prevented and 420,000 gallons of fuel unburned. Proterra says it has 63 buses in service in 15 cities, and that it is ramping up production to meet growing demand. "This latest milestone exemplifies the economic, environmental and civic value of electric mass transit," says Proterra CEO Ryan Popple, "and demonstrates to the transit agencies that diesel - often viewed as a necessary evil - is no longer necessary."

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
