1952 Ford F1 Pick Up Truck

This truck has been family owned since the 1970's. It had been used mostly as a farm truck, been well take care of and was not used a great deal. It was passed down through the family over the years and was eventually left to the previous owner by his uncle who sadly passed a while back. He then only used it occasionally and over the 3 or so years he owned it he resprayed it satin black and also re-did the bed. 

Since I have owned the truck I have taken it to several classic car shows in the Chicago Land area. It always receives a lot of attention and always gets the thumbs up while driving it around.

The following has been installed new
  • distributor cap
  • rotor arm
  • condenser
  • breaker points
  • spark plugs
  • new spark plug wire set  
I have set the timing and she starts and runs strong and idles like a sewing machine. 

Also new 
  • 2 new Cherry Bomb mufflers
  • glass in passenger doors and back window - you may notice the drivers door glass has since cracked (easy fix though)
  • rear lights
  • battery is quite new
  • the bed was re-done early this year
As you can see from the pictures apart from the fantastic satin black spray job it is all pretty much original. The truck was once red and inside the cab it still shows that color. It still has the original Ford Flat head V8 engine and the transmission is the original manual shift three on a tree. 
It is also still running the original 6 volt electrics with all the exterior lights, indicators, horn and dash gauges working great. (no dash lights working though)

  • Transmission/clutch shifts good 
  • Brakes work good
  • Handbrake works good
  • Runs cool 
  • Steering is tight (not sloppy)
  • No oil or water leaks
  • No rips or tears in seats (couple of small holes in door panels)
The tyres are bias ply wide white walls with plenty of tread but do show some age. Also included is a spare wheel with the same size and condition white wall too.

This truck is SOLID and has only surface rust underneath. The previous owner did cut out rust and weld plates in the cab corners and did a nice job so no problems there. The body is straight as an arrow, NO dents, No holes or dings. There is however, a small amount of rust holes, just inside the drivers side cab on the floor near the door and also small holes at the bottom of both doors....these are minor repairs though! (shown in pics)
The drivers side window does not go up and down very well and I think the lift inside the door will need replacing (it does stay closed once up though. The glass in that door is also cracked. Both doors open, shut and lock fine.

Overall this is a nice running and driving clean truck that starts first time and gets A LOT of attention on the road and at shows. It would be an excellent candidate for a full restoration or just drive and enjoy as is. 

My garage is full hence the reluctant sale of this fantastic 52 Ford F1.

I can work with your shipper if needed - Inspections welcome.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
