1995 Ford E-150 Waldoch Handicap Conversion Van.
Chassis: E-150 equipped with the "upfitter package" from Ford. This chassis was designed exclusively for the conversion industry; no seating, simply an aluminum pedestal base with a plastic seat for the truck driver to load from the Loraine OH manufacturing plant, onto the truck and unload at the converter destination. Equipped with the 5.4L V8, power windows, door locks, tilt wheel, cruise control and keyless entry. Conversion: The conversion is by Waldoch Crafts of Forest Lake, MN. Waldoch was/is a leader in conversion vans and sport trucks and for several years running was ranked in highest quality by Ford Motor Company. You are viewing The Aspen Edition, a high end package built as a special edition for Waldoch dealers. I actually had input with the research and development department and manufacturing desighn division at Waldoch as I was a Zone Sales Manager for Waldoch at the time the van was built. The exterior features Sherwin Williams paint, with 3mm of cleat coat applied over the custom paint. Many folks think it is vinyl graphics used on lesser quality conversions, but is actually paint! Notice the full length board/flare combination running boards, also painted with clear coat as well. (3) vista bay tinted windows were installed and at the time the cut-outs were made to accommodate the windows, acid etching was performed on the cuts to ensure no rust around the windows. I'm sure you have seen vans with hideous rust around them as a result of cost cutting at time of installation. Not here. The roof rack is from Pro Rack and several accessories were available to fit in the cross bars. A front license plate step is a nice touch to conventianly step up and clean the windshield. The interior features a closed cell foam core floor, conforming to the van chassis ribbed floor. Closed cell and no moisture can get in. Unlike a cheaper plywood floor, the closed cell is waterproof and acts as a nice sound barrier. The carpet is a nylon continuous monofiliment weave, so no fibers can pull out. Very durable. The insulation is 3" Owens Corning pink fiberglass insulation. Remember where this was built...Minnesota! Lesser conversions used a blow in foam insulation containing formadehyde. Not good. The seating s from Flexsteel, the finest in the industry featuring a lifetime warranty on the seatings frames. I was so impressed, my family room has Flesteel furniture. The rear sofa bed is power, allowing it to power fold complete into a sofa bed. Waldoch also installed Pro Aire rear heat and a/C, the best in the business. The vista bay windows are covered with full length shades with durable EZ operation. The wood trim is all black walnut cut to precise measurements with Waldoch's industry known CNC routers, assuring a perfect cut every time. More to show and tell later but I think you understand why we were the best in the industry and the conversions stand the test of time. Handicap Conversion: The power lift is the "Vangater 2" manufactured by Crow River, a member of the Braun family of Companies, a leader in handicap adaptive components. It's full power lifts the occupant safely out of the van and folds back up with power controls operated from the rear of the van and safely retracts back up into the van. Rhe drvers seat pedestal base is manufactured by Rincon, also a leader in innovation in mobility. It features a six way power pedestal with 180 degree turn for easy access/transfer from front seat to chair. There are under dash mounted hand controls as well. Service/owner manuals are included. |

Ford dinged by OSHA for asbestos at Buffalo plant
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Ford has come under fire from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations regarding asbestos exposure in a company metal stamping plant in Buffalo, NY. OSHA has cited Ford for eight violations in total, according to an Automotive News report, and faces fines of up to $41,800. 537 workers are employed at the stamping facility.
The violations include a pipefitter at the facility being exposed to asbestos-containing material while working on a steam line, other workers exposed to the material without respiratory protection and work areas that were not designed to limited the number of workers in contact with asbestos. Further, areas in which asbestos was present were not properly restricted, and levels of asbestos in the air were not monitored.
According to an unnamed Ford spokesperson in the AN report, the company feels that the OSHA citation is erroneous saying, "We have fully cooperated with the local OSHA officials and we don't believe the citations are warranted." Ford also maintains that it will work with the authorities to resolve the issue.
2015 Ford F-150 shaves 700 pounds, adds 2.7-liter EcoBoost [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014The Ford F-150 is one of the best selling vehicles on the planet. Considering that, one can imagine that when it comes time for a redesign, there are hardly any half measures. For its lucky thirteenth generation, Ford has gone all-in on the single most important vehicle in its portfolio, redesigning it from the ground up.
The big news is the F-150's new, lightweight, Atlas-inspired body. Ninety-three percent of that new body is made from a sort of aluminum alloy not unlike what the US military uses in its M2 Bradley fighting vehicles and Humvees, and it accounts for up to 70 percent of the F-150's 700-pound weight reduction. As a side benefit, the aluminum body should prove more resistant to dents and dings. Built Ford tough, indeed.
If you're wondering where the other 30 percent of that 700-pound weight loss went, 8.5 percent (60 pounds) came from the increased use of high-strength steel (up from 23 percent to 77 percent) in its ladder-box frame. Ford claims this steel is comparable to some of the heavy duty pickups used by its competitors, with a PSI rating of 70,000.
Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
