1951 Ford F Series Pick Up Truck Solid Body & Frame Hot Street Rat Rod Flathead on 2040-cars
Reading, Pennsylvania, United States
I hate to sell this because I
was always looking for a SOLID pick up truck of this era and as soon as I found
this one, my storage facility is being sold to settle an estate. This would be an excellent nostalgic truck to
put together with just sealer for paint and have some fast fun with it or for a
restoration. This is for the complete body and frame with no engine or
transmission. The trim, fuel tank, heater, radiator, door and window mechanisms,
etc… all appear to be there. The glass is there along with new weather
stripping and seals. Since the glass is already
out, I would recommend putting new glass in and it is readily available or the
pieces that come with it can be used for patterns. The frame was cleaned and
painted black with original front axle and it has a disc brake conversion. The engine and transmission mounts have not
been altered so if you want to still use a Ford Flathead motor, the steel
mounts for that are included. I believe the rear may be from a 1953 truck but
cannot confirm that. The body is VERY solid,
especially the cab and doors. The
fenders may have had some repair work done but this truck would take very
little in body and prep work to make it look great. The bed and tailgate is not
bad at all and the running boards will need a little rust repair but are good.
I have learned the hard way that it is best to buy something in good shape and
pay a little more than to pay big bucks for repair work. I took pictures of the parts
that go with the truck and it appears most of everything is there. There are some duplicate parts like wing
window frames and window crank mechanism (see pictures) Used and reproduction parts are readily
available. Below is a list of the new
rubber and seals that are included: ·
Division window
bar and channel ·
Rear window
rubber ·
Windshield rubber ·
Back of front
fender to cowl seal ·
Door seal kit ·
Vent window
rubber seals ·
Cowl vent seal ·
Gas tank neck
grommet ·
Cowl lacing kit Truck is located in Sinking
Spring, Pa which is West of Reading and is for sale locally. Winning bidder pays $500 non-refundable
deposit within 48 hours of the end of auction. It is buyers responsibility to
pick it up or make full shipping arrangements. This comes with a bill of sale only– no title. The missing title is not an issue because you
can get new title based on the truck being put together with salvage parts. |

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
