1957 Ford F100 Short Bed 2wd 272 Manual 3 Speed, Brakes, And Steering on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
1957 Ford F-100 2WD RWD Short Bed Straight Side base model truck. I bought this in El Paso Texas last year off of eBay for a project this year that never materialized. It was purchased for a total tear down and rebuild into a bagged street rod. Motor looks to be original, frame and body numbers match. Looks to be all original frame, suspension, drive train but that is my assumption. Did not matter since it was going to be stripped down. Just needed the title and decent sheetmetal. It starts and runs, but with much anger and resistance, lol. It blows blue smoke, runs rough/misses, but idles after started. Carb is leaking out the seals but has no problem responding to the pedal and getting the motor to move the truck around. Shifts, brakes, turns... just not a street worthy vehicle at all. Great foundation for a build. Not need to stress over modifying this the way you want it! Worst part is the hood front structural bracing is rusted away... but this hood was going to be deck, angled, and rebuilt anyways for a new latching system so enough steel for that. Also the core support is solid, no rust but the latch assembly area has been rewelded and strengthened in its lifetime... but again that area was going to be reworked for the new hood setup... again no biggie for me. The rust in the cab corners, footsteps, under footwell bracing, front of bed at cab... etc... all very typical of this year truck and replacment panels are cheap and readily available. Open Texas Title. NO SHIPPING!!!! NO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS!!! Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup. SOLD AS IS NO WARRANTY NO RETURNS NO SCAMS!
**** V i d e o link of the engine running **** some people have asked about it. It starts, runs, idles... but would need a rebuild. |

Ford and GM link bonus checks to quality scores
Tue, 29 Apr 2014The poor first quarter earnings of Ford and General Motors are having an effect all the way up the food chain. Both automakers struggled with recalls in the first three months of the year, and, according to The Detroit News, they have responded by increasing the percentage of bonuses tied to vehicle quality for salaried workers, including top executives.
GM announced that 25 percent of bonuses (up from 10 percent) for all salaried workers would be tied to its vehicle quality standards. The automaker revealed in its financial report that it spent $1.3 billion on recall-related repairs in the first quarter, and net income was down 86 percent.
Ford also increased the quality proportion of bonuses for about 26,000 salaried workers all the way up to CEO Alan Mulally from 10 percent to 20 percent. The company announced in its report that the amount paid out in warranty and recall claims was about $400 million higher than expected in the first quarter. Its net income fell 39 percent from the previous year. "The change reflects how critical quality is to our overall business," said spokesperson Todd Nissen speaking to Autoblog.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
