This is a mild custom original.  Has a 50's Mercury flathead V8 with tri-power.  Converted to 12 Volts.  Also, has a 1997 S-10 five speed manual transmission which seems to be a perfect fit & easy shifting (& has a new clutch recently). 

Most else is original & well taken care of by long time owner. 

New tires have just been put on, with 16's, but bigger size in the back (spare is also new).  New electric fuel pump, but a new original type mechanical comes with it also.  It has sort of a VW horn (operated via foot button to left of clutch pedalL, but comes with a new ahooga horn. 

Starts easy & runs smooth.  New mufflers make it sound mild hum/roar.  Gauges work except for the gas gauge which needs to be calibrated to the new Ford sending unit ( I have the gentleman's name to get this done; otherwise just keep the new poly tank filled).  The lights were working but the guy I bought it from said a new switch was needed & one is supplied with purchase.  I may tinker to figure it out.  The fog lights work on a seperate switch.  There is a lighter socket plug in for a supplied handheld fan/heater (maybe defrost back-up).  It probably could be mounted for more convenience.  Truck is a hoot to drive & scoots for an old school HP.

Comes with 7 period hubcaps & 6 beauty rings.  Or, you can leave them off (see the driver side picture with all OFF; passenger side all hubcaps & beauty rings on for preferred look comparison; I prefer the hubcap & beauty ring look).  Two extra rims & I think two tires. 

Needed items eventually: minimal rust at driver door back corner & rain catcher/gutter.  Couple small bubbles on passenger door & less issue @ rain gutter.  The new light installed, as mentioned.  All the glass is excellent/new, but the driver's door roll-up glass has a crack.  It rolls up/down smoothly & is not going to fall out.  Passenger door window winds up/down smooth also. 

The bed wood looks to be original or replaced @ older restore.  It is very solid antique wood/hold down strips.  The truck underside/frame is excellent with no rust.  The hood sections were just sat on for pictures & not latched tight (usually left off for cool engine seeing).  The crank out windshield & air intake cowl port both work easily.

As can be seen, every exhaust part is new.  The doors close tight, evenly & snug with no drop in hinges or latches.


On Feb-05-14 at 13:15:27 PST, seller added the following information:

I meant to put in a picture of the bed wood, but do to limited picture loading on this format, I could not.  I can send more pictures to any email or maybe thru ebay.  The wood is aged but not rotting or need replacement. 


On Feb-05-14 at 15:31:31 PST, seller added the following information:

Has two gas caps, one regular, one locking (whichever owner prefers).  Has temperature gauge radiator cap.  The added tach works.  Also, a period dash glove box clock (would have to install; came on deluxe model?); could use new glass; I have the address of gentleman that has one & will install the new glass, free or inexpensively).

Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
