1928 Ford Model A Closed Cab Pickup ( aka Telephone Booth) with Willy’s Jeep 4X4 drive train. I bought this as a project several years ago but have now realized I will never finish it. The first picture is from when I bought the truck.

This truck is all original Henry Ford Steel except for the firewall and lower cowl panels which were replaced because they had been cut with a torch. I have removed the original gas tank to make room under the dash. There is NO rust on the body, fenders, doors, or bed. The fenders are clean with no cracks, dents, or splits, as are the doors and pickup bed. Running boards are rust free. There are 2 interconnected fuel tanks installed over the rear axle.

The engine is a 350 cu.in from a ’68 Camaro according to the block casting #’s. Rebuild .30 over with a mild Pro Comp Street cam, camel hump heads with 1.94 Intake and 1.5 inch exhaust valves, Edelbrock intake, and 4 bbl. carb. Custom exhaust manifolds.

Transmission is a rebuilt T-90 3 speed. Transfer case is a rebuilt Dana T-18. Rear end is rebuilt with 3.73 gears. I have the gear set to rebuild the front dif from stock Willys 5.38 to 3.73. New drive shafts front and rear.

The pictures speak for themselves. There are lots of new, still in the box, parts including Griffin radiator, Chrome radiator grill, wiring harness, VDO gauges, seat, Ididit tilt steering column, custom steering wheel, new power brake / clutch master cylinder set, New chrome alternator, electric fuel pump, headlight halogen inserts, new tail lights, steel floor panels, 4 brand new tires, etc.

All old parts were bagged and labeled. I’ve have over $20k in this project.

Brought from California and showing a CA DMV Serial #. I have a clear Colorado title showing this truck registered as a 1928 Ford Model A pickup.

The reserve is well below my investment cost. Please don’t waste my time with low ball offers.

Thanks for looking. Happy bidding.

Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns

Wed, 22 May 2013

Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.

Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue

Mon, 12 Aug 2013

Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival

Sun, 14 Sep 2014

To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
