1951 Ford F1 with 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack

This truck started out life as a red Atlanta GA built V8 half ton 5 star extra cab pickup. At some point in time it was been converted to 12 VDC, repainted red, interior painted black, flathead pulled and replaced with a 283 and GM 3 speed manual transmission. Sometime after that it was parked and has remained parked for years.

The engine carries casting number 3731548 and the production code is “FI0I0FC”; I decode this as 1957 Chevy 283 Powerpack (220 HP) built at Flint on Oct 10 and originally hooked to a powerglide. I guess this has the special bushing to let the manual trans main drive gear engage. Note triangle over rectangle on heads, squarebore Carter carb, rams horns manifolds, etc. It is fitted to the truck with a Hurst adapter to use the Ford donut mounts on the frame in the original location. Perfect engine for your Chevy restoration, other rat rod, or old school Ford hot-rod going for the late 50s/early 60s look.

The truck is soft around all edges with obvious rust in fenders, floor, bed, hood, running boards, doors, etc., is missing parts, and has a few left over “accessory” holes here and there for various antennas, hood ornaments, and etc. Frame appears solid and the stainless around the windshield is nice. I do have the two kick panels for the doors. If you want to make a fenderless rat rod this would be a good foundation because the cab and bed have a pretty good patina look to them. Engine is stuck but has good looking oil and still had anti-freeze when I pulled the heater out. Hasn’t been turned over in so long the fan belt rotted out the pulleys from moisture. The rear brakes were stuck so I had to torch the drums off; I saved all the other hardware. The truck now rolls freely and steers; tires hold air.

I can’t ship it but I can help load it on your trailer. $100 deposit due via Paypal within 3 days of auction end. Balance due in cash at time of pickup. Do not pay for whole truck via Papal. I can hold it for up to three weeks after auction ends. No international bidders. No bids with less than 10 feedback without contacting me first. Modest reserve in line with what similar trucks have been selling for. Truck is also for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. No warranties or any other guarantee. There is no title; this will be sold on a bill of sale only. Georgia does not title vehicles older than 1986. Thanks for looking, Jason; four 7 eight two three 3 three 2 nine 2.

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings

Fri, 10 May 2013

Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here areÂ our two top choices.Â OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (theÂ Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.Â Â In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row CrossoverÂ |Â Â Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUVÂ |Â Â Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
