1953 Ford F-100 Short Bed on 2040-cars
Deer Park, Texas, United States
|
Almost all the parts are there, even has the original spare tire mounted under the bed.
The rear end has been replaced with another Ford rear end, unknown year. The Cab Floor is good, no rust holes that I can see. The Bed Floor is Steel Grating, not Wood. The frond end appears good all the parts are there and steers good. The Brakes will need rebuilding. It is not the original Tailgate it is a cover that is screwed shut and does not open. The Hood opens and closes but needs work and adjusting. The Running Boards are pitted but ok for a Rat Rod. Doors open and close very good. They do need the rubber seal. The Windows roll up and down. Side vent windows are Lexan one opens one does not. The Windshield and Seal are New. The fresh air vent opens and closes good. I don't know if the Gas Tank leaks or not. Smells like it still has old Gas in it. The Tires are New but aged and will need to be replaced, decent enough for transporting and moving around the shop. It appears the Truck has never been taken apart. The under carriage has never been cleaned up. The Frame is solid. I'm not sugar coating anything on this 60+ year old truck. Like I said it needs a total make over. Selling as-is where-is no warranty expressed or implied. On Jul-12-14 at 18:37:07 PDT, seller added the following information: The Engine does NOT run. |

Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival
Mon, 19 May 2014There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
