Up for sale is a 1956 ford F-100 1/2 ton pickup. It has its original 272 ci V8 engine and the original column shift 3 speed manual transmission. The truck starts and runs and you can drive it around the block but at this point I would not call it road worthy. It needs a front suspension rebuild, carb could use a rebuild, engine smokes blue when fired up and could use overhaul. I drove the car around the block a few times this week and it is currently registered and insured. It has a new brake master cylinder, new shoes, and new wheel cylinders, so the brakes work well. there is a new exhaust system from the manifold back with a glass pack muffler. Valve cover gaskets as well as intake and carb base gaskets were replaced. New spark plugs, cap, rotor, points and condenser. Starter is new but the bendix is old and occasionally kicks out. frame is in great shape and was sandblasted and painted a few years ago. the previous owner started to install new bed wood but never finished putting nuts on the carriage bolts and tightening them down, so that needs finished. The inner fenders are free of rust. the rest of the body parts are in good shape. newer rear fenders, fronts are good originals. Cab has some patchwork done on the floor but is otherwise solid. doors are in good shape and have new latches just installed. Bed is original. rear bumper is new chrome but got damaged by tow truck driver a few months ago. front bumper is original. all 3 hood emblems are new. mirrors are in good shape. the running boards have been redone using diamond plate steel and are solid. the steel wheels are older ford KH wheels but are not original to the truck. Paint is older and doesn't have much shine but has a nice patina, or you could buff it out and it would shine up a fair bit. several chips etc. seat is still in original upholstery but needs redone. no carpet or headliner. missing interior door handles. as far as electrical, the truck starts with the key, but other than that needs rewired. my name is Jay and I'm selling the truck for a friend. If your interested in the truck its currently at my shop so we can put it up on my lift if you'd like to inspect it. Its a cool old truck but a restoration project, it just needs someone to love it again and put some energy into it. happy bidding

J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.

National Geographic Channel balances Ford F-150 on four coffee mugs

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

Proving that there is still something to be learned on television these days, National Geographic Channel recently introduced a new series called Duck Quacks Don't Echo. On the first episode of this science/comedy show, host Michael Ian Black proposes the idea that a truck can be supported with a ceramic coffee mug under each wheel - yes, he says that the entire weight of a truck can be balanced on just four coffee mugs.
Looking to find out whether this is fact or myth, the show uses a regular cab Ford F-150, weighing in at 4,800 pounds, and four average coffee mugs. Lowered onto the mugs, the idea is quickly put to the test. Can the cups hold up under 4,800 pounds? If so, what, exactly, would it take to break them? Scroll down below to find out.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
