1950 Ford F-1 Pickup with Clear Title. This Truck was customized some years ago. The restoration or resto-modification was started and about half way complete, when the owner passed away. The truck sat is storage for years and was recently completed. The Modifications consist of a modern V-8 Chevrolet Engine. The Engine is a 1960's model Chevrolet 283. It was refreshed with new internals, including Oil Pump and Timing Set and Seals and Gaskets. This is a low mileage engine and the Bore and Bearings were good, so it was not Bored or Turned. Everything inside is standard. The 283 has a Holley Manifold, Holley Valve Covers and Holley 4 Barrel Carburetor. The Engine also got an Accel Electronic Distributor and new Wires. The truck got a 5 Speed Manual Transmission from a 1990 Chevrolet Pickup. I believe this transmission is called an NV-3500. This gives the truck 5 gears and a Hydraulic Clutch. Along with the Transmission, the truck got a new Flywheel, Clutch and Throwout Bearing. A new Driveshaft was fabricated by a local Driveshaft and clutch shop. This was a little expensive, but so much better than hacking a couple of old driveshafts together. The Truck already had a later model Ford Differential, giving it a more street friendly set of gears. The Truck was changed over to 12 Volts and got a GM 1 Wire 90 Amp Alternator. There are also lots of other new parts including Starter and Fuel Pump. There is much more. The Truck now has Power Brakes with Discs in the front. Everything in the brake System was replaced, including Master Cylinder, Rear Wheel Cylinders, Shoes, Lines, Hoses and more. The Truck has Headers and Dual Exhaust that turns down near the center of the Bed. The Frame is very solid and is painted Black. The Body is solid with a little rust, here and there. The Cab has all new Glass and Window Seals. All of the Door Windows open and close properly. The Seat is a Vintage Ford Truck Seat that looks good with the Truck color. It was recovered some time in the 1960s or 1970s, but still looks good. The Seat is not perfect. It has some wear and tear from the years, but is just too cool to recover. The Truck has an Oldsmobile Tilt Steering Column and the High, Low Beam Lights, Turn Signals and Emergency Flashers all work through the Stock Column controls. The Gauges all work. The Fuel Gauge works properly. The Oil Pressure and Temperature Gauges seem to work backwards. I believe this to be because the truck was originally positive ground, but that is just a guess! The Speedometer was replaced with a tach. There is a power port installed on the dash. This is a good place to insert a power cord for your GPS. The GPS will give you an accurate speed reading. The truck also got a new Headliner and various other new parts from Dennis Carpenter. The Doors open and close well. I am posting pictures of the Cab Corners and Door Bottoms to show their condition. The Front Fenders are Fiberglass. The Hood, Grill and Center Section are Steel. There is a sheet of Steel, welded in the Bed. The Tail Gate is original and in good condition. The Tail Gate does need one Hinge to work properly. There is no Rear Bumper. The Wheels and Tires have only a few hundred miles on them. The Wheels are Chrome Reverse with Baby Moon Hub Caps and in good condition, not mint condition. They are all 15s, but the front Wheels and Tires are smaller than the backs. This gives the truck a lower look, in the front. The Truck has an attractive look with nice artwork on the door and a nice Patina effect. It is not a show truck, but a fun cruiser that gets plenty of attention. I tried to describe the truck well. I am sure I left out some things. I will try to answer any questions through email. I may be able to assist with delivery within a few hundred miles of Canton, Ohio. This Truck is being listed with a low start price and no reserve. It will sell to the highest bidder. Please look closely at the pictures. They are part of the listing.

Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.

Buyers ditching expensive European sedans to buy expensive American trucks

Mon, Feb 19 2018

The New York Times ended the automotive week with a story that adds numbers and context to a range of other stories, from the crossover craze to the increasing median price of a new car to ever more grandiose pickup trucks. The NYT piece reveals that the shift to larger vehicles isn't merely about the average U.S. buyer swapping the midsize sedan for a Ford Edge. Luxury buyers are migrating from plush sedans to plush SUVs and trucks that creep close to six-figure prices, and the Detroit Three are running Treasury presses because of it. From 2013 to 2017, the truck category — everything from pickups to minivans — climbed from 30 percent of the market to 41 percent. In January of this year, trucks claimed 66 percent of new vehicle sales. At the milk-and-honey end of profits, GMC alone accounted for 11.3 percent of all vehicle sales over $60,000, not just trucks. That puts the luxury truck maker behind Mercedes-Benz and Ford, The Blue Oval's feasting on Lariat, King Ranch and Raptor versions of the F-150, which make up more than half of that pickup's sales, putting it ahead of Chevrolet, Porsche and Lexus on the high-dollar sales list. The average transaction price of a GMC in Denali trim last year was $56,000; it's easy to see why, when one dealer told the NYT he just swapped a 2012 BMW 550i for a $71,000 GMC Sierra Denali. That truck starts at $52,900. The NYT started its story with a buyer who took home a Ford Raptor instead of an Audi A6, and optioned that $50,020 Ford Raptor close to $80,000. Over at Lincoln, the new $72,055 Navigator — the one so popular that Ford will increase production — crossed hands for an average sale price of $77,000 in January. And a Jeep dealer told the NYT that the two $93,000 Trackhawks he had on his lot "won't be here more than a few weeks." While trucks head up in sales volume and price, cars are headed so viciously in the opposite direction that "the Detroit Three and even some foreign manufacturers acknowledge they are now losing money on many of the cars they sell." So ... get ready for a lot more crossovers and trucks. Related Video: Find out what vehicle is right for you. Give our Car Finder tool a try.

2015 Ford Mustang production starts in Flat Rock

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

Today's the day, Ford fans. Production has officially commenced on the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang at the company's Flat Rock, MI factory. As production ramps up, sales should kick off in the coming months.
The production news isn't just a bit deal for American fans. With the new Mustang getting a bespoke right-hand-drive variant, the pony car's worldwide availability has swollen to include 120 different countries, including its home nation.
"Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon," Joe Hinrichs, Ford's president of the Americas, said in a statement. "Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience - one unlike any other."
