For sale is a 1938 Ford Pickup. This is the 1/2 ton model. The truck has a 1950 Ford flathead V8 (the 100 HP model) engine with a 1936 Ford manual trans. This was the only engine and tranny I had available at the time and I needed the truck running so I could move it around as needed for space reasons. Ive owened the truck for about a year and a half. The clutch was not the right one as it was also from another year but the truck drove around just fine otherwise. The truck was running and driving up to a month ago. I parked it for about three weeks and left the brake light on. I cant get the truck to start now. The ignition wont crank over. Im not sure whats wrong. I charged the battery which had died on me but I think the voltage regulator or a fuse went out. I already replced the starter solenoid so I know that's not it. I just bought a replacement voltage regulator from eBay which will be included. Also included is the correct clutch, brand new with all the hardware needed and even a clutch centering tool. Also a correct fit oil pan for the engine with a new oil pan gasket. The pan on there now doesnt quite fit properly because its also from another year. But everything, once replaced, would make for a nice weekend cruiser.

I drove every weekend around town until I got busy with other projects. The truck also has the original rims and rear end. The mechanical brakes work great. Cab and hood metal is pretty good. Rest of the truck, bed and fenders, are ok. One fender was pretty bad so I replaced it with a fiberglass one but I will include the oriinal steel one in case you want to have it repaired. Also the head panel of the bed was pretty bad also so I have a replacement steel panel also included. It is unpainted. I will include the original head panel too if wanted. This is a pretty god rat rod as is and could be a good project for a hot rod if someone wanted to do that. Its uncut and other then the engine and tranny and passenger side rear fender unmolested. It just needs a few parts swapped and it will be a great weekend truck.

The rear bumper and bumper brackets are also included. I may even install the bumper this weekend.

The truck is also currently registered and insured and has a Clean California title in my name. This specific truck was appraised by Hagerty Classic Car insurance at $5000.

I was going to list this truck for $5000 and I think I it was worth it but since its not running right now and I don't have time to get it going Im only asking for $4000.

I'm open to offers. Obviously $4000 is what I feel the truck is worth, but if you feel differently then make an offer for what you can afford.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue

Fri, Dec 20 2019

Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.

Chevy Silverado frame twist test a marketing victory versus Ford

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

The pickup market is so competitive that all three major American makers are constantly trying to find a way to prove their product is the best. The new 2015 Ford F-150 is grabbing headlines at the moment by winning awards and posting segment best numbers. But in a new video, Chevrolet is taking aim squarely at the 2015 F-250 Super Duty in a battle of heavy-duty truck supremacy against the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD... well, in a single metric anyway.
The big numbers from pickups often come down to payload, towing rating and fuel economy, but for this test, Chevy and Howie Long are challenging the torsional rigidity of the trucks' frames, specifically which one flexes less. Long plays the everyman here having the Chevy engineer explain what's going on in the tests. Unsurprisingly for a video on Chevy's official YouTube page, the 2500HD wins out by a good margin. The company also reports that similar results as shown here have been certified in third-party testing.
Check out the video to see the full test. While this might seem like a marketing win for Chevy, Ford isn't immune to it, either. In 2009, the Blue Oval uploaded a similar video comparing the flex under 225 pounds of weight from the bare frames of the F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram (as it was still called at the time) and the Toyota Tundra. The results fell in the Blue Oval's favor, as you can see here.
