A classic 1930 pickup titled and in running driving project condition. I bought the truck with hopes of painting the bed and cab black and installing a dropped axle for a period 40's hotrod look. The truck could go any direction at this point, either hotrod or close to original with some mechanical updates. Thousands of dollars spent on 5 speed conversion and juice brakes. All work thoughtfully done with quality parts.

The following has been done and all work looks quality:

Drivetrain has been updated with a Auto Restorations 5 speed kit using a nice low mileage GM t5 transmission. Smooth quiet running stock engine and great clutch. The exhaust is also newly redone

Brakes have been upgraded to juice brakes using stock model A pedals, 39 ford style master cylinder, 41 ford backing plates and drums, new hard and soft brake lines.

Electrical is 6 volt with new battery and upgraded powder coated battery box. the headlights and taillights are not finished wired. I was going to pull the cab and bed and respray before finish wiring. Engine wiring is complete and starter , alternator and distributor work great.

Wheels are 17" with older gum dipped firestone 5.25/5.50 bias plies. Wheels could use new paint or powder coat. Overall they are in good condition and tires are without cracks or leaks.

Fenders are the nicest I have seen on any pickup. The bed is not very wavy with only minor dents inside and has new oak wood kit with stainless strips.

Cab and doors are in good condition with some bondo in lower cowl. I had plans on fixing with new metal when it was repainted. I think the yellow paint job should be redone. All glass is great condition and windows roll up and down nicely. Doors close great and hinges are in good condition. No sagging issues with the doors.

Seat has been redone includes excellent frames and springs. Floor has new wood and top is nicely redone

I have lots of money tied up in the pickup and it is well on it's way to being a great driver. The 5 speed ads that needed overdrive and keeps the engine rpms at a comfortable level and the juice brakes are a must for higher speed cruising. Great project that needs some completion and maybe , just some primer black paint to cover the yellow on cab and bed ( I hate yellow on model A's).

I Live in Coeur d' Alene Idaho and can help with any shippers and overseas buyers welcome. I have the pickup truck for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell local. Please call with any questions.

Thanks, Ben

Answers to questions? frame started out as a solid original, rust preventative painted and new hardware used throughout. Front and back springs pulled apart, greased then assembled new hardware.

Sacramento vintage ford -MASTER CYLINDER CONVERSION KIT & BATTERY BOX 1928-31 used for juice brake conversion using a 39-52 ford master cylinder.

I have the front wiring new in package and was just going to run a home made harness to rear lights. I also have taillight brackets to run lights on both rear fenders.

Tires are repops from Coker and have been sitting with very little use. A little flat spot on fronts and they need some road time to warm up and round out. Rims are 17" I believe from 32-33 fords. I was going to buy 7.50 x 17 for rears and run the 5.25 on fronts for a big n little hot rod look.

Engine runs quiet and smooth. I was going to change out the distributor to an electric type , install a Stromberg 97 for better carburation and then the 5 speed could be used to it's fullest. I will include the Large logo 97 in the sale. Engine is fine as is and runs cool.

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.

Galpin Auto Sports and Fisker turn the Mustang into a Rocket in LA [w/video]

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Galpin Auto Sport and Henrik Fisker made big promises about the Rocket before its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today, calling it the "ultimate American muscle car." Now that this 725-horsepower carbon-fiber Ford Mustang has officially been revealed, we've now got a chance to see if their vision backs up all the bluster. The Rocket is based off the latest 2015 Mustang, but the entire exterior design has been substantially reworked by Fisker. "This is a project born out of passion, it's a dream come true, to have the opportunity to 'touch' a Mustang and apply my design ideas to it," he says in the model's announcement. The biggest changes come up front, where Fisker has added a gaping hexagonal grille with a polished bar running and two nearly hidden driving lights at the top corners. Long nostrils run down each side of the hood, taking their inspiration from the 1968 Shelby GT500. The Rocket's design also emphasizes its scalloped sides, which run back to functional ducts at the rear to cool the Brembo Grand Turismo brakes. When checking out the Rocket from the rear, it's easy to spot the wider fenders that are beautifully blended into the integrated spoiler. The interior has been left mostly alone beyond some eye-grabbing red leather and carbon-fiber trim. Under the hood, Galpin spokesperson Nathan Hoyt has confirmed to Autoblog that the Rocket employs a 5.0-liter V8 with a Whipple supercharger which can be called to attention with a six-speed manual gearbox. It took only a few months for the vehicle to go from conception to reality. Fisker showed Galpin President Beau Boeckmann early sketches at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and the two parties went from there. "When Henrik showed me his ideas, I got chills - it's literally the most beautiful Mustang I have ever seen," says Boeckmann in the company's release. Production is set to begin in December, with deliveries starting in early 2015. There's no set production total in mind for now, but Hoyt tells Autoblog that the price will be "just over $100,000." Scroll down to read all of the details about Fisker and Galpin's Rocket.
