1927 Model Tt Wrecker Wood Body on 2040-cars
Bremen, Indiana, United States
Up for Auction is my 1927 wood body wrecker. I purchased this body and bed on a chassis that I think was about a 1922. The chassis was in poor shape and needed about everything. It just happen that I was able to get a 1927 Model TT chassis that looked to be in good shape. I sold the chassis that came with the body and mounted the body on this newer chassis and tried to start the engine. After a little time I was able to get it to run, but it was not running right. Pulled the head and found a crack in the block. I had another block but it was a 1925 engine and I started to rebuild it. The bearings were good on the rods and mains. I did put new high compression pistons in it. I also had all the exhaust seats replaced and all new stainless valves with new springs and lifters. I put oil dippers on the rods and drilled the rod caps. I kept the 27 transmission and totally rebuilt it. All new bushings and roller tail bearing. I balanced all the rotating parts and magnetized the magnets. Replaced the mag. coils with a rebuilt one. Rebuilt the coils, starter, and generator. It starts on mag and runs like a top. I put a warford three speed transmission in it to help it move a little faster down the road. It also makes it great for parades in the low gear too. All four tires are new. replaced any parts needed to make it reliable and save to drive. I brush painted the chassis with black chassis paint. I had to paint the hood due to dents and missing paint, but I have not painted the fenders or any of the body parts. The fenders have some rust at the lower area by the running boards. I did have a new seat cushions made for it. I put the Weaver wrecker unit on it and the fuel tank. It has a compression whistle, exhaust train whistle and ahooga horn on it. They all work great. I did put the cowl lights on it for looks and all the headlights and brake lights work great. I might have put 200 miles on it since everything was rebuilt. I have a clear Indiana title for the truck.
This wrecker gets looks everyplace I take it. I put a 1924 plate on it that my brother happen to have and it is not included with the truck!! Please ask questions before bidding!!!! You can call for more information # 574-250-six6three4 |

Ford investing $2.5 billion in two new plants in Mexico
Mon, Apr 20 2015Automobile production keeps ramping up in Mexico. Last week alone, Toyota announced a new plant it's building south of the border, and news broke that Hyundai is looking into the same. Now Ford has announced a multi-billion-dollar initiative that will see it building two new facilities in Mexico, as well. Though neither will be a final assembly plant, both promise to break new ground for the automotive industry in Mexico – at least as far as Ford is concerned. The first is a new engine facility to be built at Ford's existing plant in Chihuahua. The fruit of a $1.1-billion investment will see the Blue Oval produce new gasoline engines for use in North America, South America and Asia-Pacific, creating 1,300 new jobs in the process. Ford will also be investing another $200 million to expand its inline-four and diesel engine production lines at the same plant. The move will create another 500 new jobs and make Ford's Chihuahua engine plant the largest in Mexico, according to the company's press release. Ford has also announced the building of its first transmission facility in Mexico, to be constructed within Getrag's plant in Irapuato in the state of Guanajuato. The $1.2-billion investment will create 2,000 new jobs and be charged with exporting two new automatic transmissions to markets around the world. The announcement comes on the 90th anniversary of Ford's presence in Mexico, dating back to 1925. Currently the company produces the Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ in Mexico, as well as numerous Duratec and diesel engines.

Ford halves summer shutdown, ramps SUV production
Tue, Jun 2 2015For the third consecutive year, Ford is reducing the length of its summer shutdown for several factories to keep up with high demand for some models. This year, the decision means 40,000 more units of popular trucks and crossovers like the F-Series, Edge, Escape, and Explorer. Rather than the normal two-week break, workers at the Chicago, Dearborn Truck, Kansas City, Kentucky Truck, Louisville, and Oakville factories will only get a week off starting on June 29. Additionally, 10 plants for producing components to support these assembly lines will also have the shorter vacation. The rest of the Blue Oval's manufacturing locations will shutdown from June 29 to July 10 for maintenance and retooling. According to Ford, the decision comes because of low inventories and high demand on some of its popular models. The 2015 F-150 is lasting around 20 days at dealers, and the Edge spends an average of 10 days before being sold. Ford is hardly alone in deciding to keep locations open during the normal summer break, though. FCA recently made the decision not to shutdown four assembly plants and all of its factories for components to keep up with demand for models like the Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, and Dodge Durango.

In response to increased customer demand, Ford will add capacity this summer to produce its most popular trucks and utilities Ford will shorten its summer shutdown from the traditional two-week summer shutdown to one week for a majority of North American assembly plants, increasing production by close to 40,000 units In April, Ford F-150 was turning at just 20 days on dealer lots, Edge sales were up 78 percent, and Escape and Explorer remained in tight supply. 2016 Explorers are now hitting dealer lots In response to customer demand for Ford's newest products, the company this year will produce close to 40,000 extra units by idling select plants for only one week during what has been the traditional two-week summer shutdown.. "To meet surging customer demand for our top-selling trucks and utilities, we are continuing to run our North American facilities during the traditional two-week summer shutdown in order to add close to 40,000 units," said Bruce Hettle, Ford vice president, North America Manufacturing.
Ford EV Chief: 150 kW fast charging could be the norm
Fri, May 1 2015Ford's electrified-vehicle sales aren't exactly at the top of the charts this year, but that hasn't stopped Mike Tinskey, the automaker's global director of electrification and infrastructure, from being rather enthusiastic about advancements in various forms of more environmentally sustainable mobility. Tinskey, in an interview with The Verge, spoke of a world with really fast plug-in vehicle chargers. And of vehicles that can be re-parked using a remote driver. How fun. Tinskey, who touts SAE/combo fast-charging charging specification as the most likely to take the global leadership position, said a 150-kilowatt charger could be on the market "very soon." That'd mean an electric vehicle could be 80-percent recharged in just 20 minutes. Today's quickest units, the Tesla Supercharger, can crank out up to 120 kW. Some companies are touting 100-kW charging times, despite the lack of compatible chargers. Tinskey also spoke about Ford studies of a so-called "Remote Repositioning" feature, which would allow cars to be re-parked at night using a remote driver over a cellular network as spaces empty up, cutting down traffic, needless driving and pollution as a result. We're sure ready for such a thing. Through the first quarter of this year, sales of Ford's hybrids, plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles are down 28 percent from a year earlier to about 15,000 units. Sounds like those improvements Tinskey speaks of can't come soon enough. Featured Gallery 2012 Ford Focus Electric: Quick Spin View 18 Photos News Source: The Verge Green Ford
