For auction is this old Model T Bakery truck. The chassis includes all the parts i got with the truck. All the chassis parts need to be rebuilt or restored. The block is complete with pistons, rods and crankshaft. There is no transmission. The body was acquired by a gentleman in Southern California sometime in the 1950's. As he related, it was owned by the Davis Standard Bread Co of Los Angeles, CA. It may have started life as a horse drawn wagon, and then converted to a Model T chassis as the bakery modernized there fleet of delivery trucks. Most of the original body is still there, the only thing i see missing is the front seat riser. Above the green banner, which says Rolls, Doughnuts, and Cakes, was a canvas sign with the bakeries logo that is long since gone. You can still see bits of the canvas. As you open the back doors, there were 2 pullout wood trays, one of which is still there. This is body number 92, so the Davis bakery had quite a fleet. This body could be repaired and left in pretty much its original state or restored into a very nice unique truck. Included are a full set of fenders, splash aprons and running boards. The front fenders have never been used. When i bought this truck, the body, the sides were covered in tin and those pieces will be included. Delivery is the buyers responsibility and i will help in any way i can. This is a very rare opportunity to own a very unique piece of history. THERE IS NO TITLE FOR THIS TRUCK!

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
Ford Fiesta ST in startling track battle against Toyota GT86
Wed, 26 Jun 2013On the surface, there's very little that the Ford Fiesta ST and Toyota GT86 (or the Scion FR-S that is sold in the US, or the largely similar Subaru BRZ) share in common. One is a hatchback with power coming from a turbocharged engine routed to the front wheels. The other is a coupe with power coming from a naturally aspirated four-cylinder boxer engine routed to the rear wheels.
Thing is, both of them are reasonably priced performance cars aimed at a similar segment of the automotive marketplace, so a comparison isn't out of the question. It is with all of this in mind that we direct you to the video below, in which the blokes from Evo pit the two manic little machines against one another on a race track. The result? Well, it can be summed up this way: Fast versus fun.
See how the track battle goes down in the video below.
Watch how Ford torture-tested the 2015 F-150
Wed, 09 Apr 2014The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck in the United States for the past 37 years, and the best-selling vehicle outright for the past 32. That's quite a legacy, and thus, it's no surprise that Ford worked super-duper-extra hard on creating the all-new, aluminum-bodied 2015 F-150 that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
During an event at the company's headquarters in Dearborn, MI this week, we were able to see all of the ways that Ford endurance tests, not just the new F-150, but all of its vehicles. From examining things like light exposure to interior materials and paint finishes, to making sure that corrosion absolutely does not happen when steel components come in contact with aluminum panels in the new truck. The goal: ensure that the new F-150 is nothing short of "Built Ford Tough."
But that's only a small part of the story. Of course, the new F-150 has to be able to withstand whatever a pickup buyer might throw at it - and truck buyers arguably demand the most from their vehicles. So in an effort to convey just what the new F-150 had to go through before being given the final go-ahead, Ford has released a series of videos, showing how its new halo truck was indeed torture tested.
