I bought this truck in 2003 from the original owner. It was sold by wilson ford sales in fairmont west virginia in 1953 and I still have the original key fob the truck came with when it was sold new. This truck has the original engine and automatic transmission it left the factory with. I decided to leave the paint original and do a mechanical restoration since I rarely see these the way they left the factory in 1953 and I love the way it looks. Here is a list of the new items I have purchased and have had done since I purchased the truck. Original 8RT engine rebuilt by H and H ($5400.00), original automatic transmission rebuilt ($605.00), complete bumper to bumper wiring harness, front end rebuilt and aligned and steering box rebuilt ($1000.00), radiator rebuilt and recored with 4 row core and transmission cooler reconditioned ($535.00), 5 tires, new floor mat, headlight switch, 4 shocks, 6 volt battery, complete new brake system and 4 drums turned, new front bumper, 4 new hubcaps, hoses and belts, new engine and trans mounts, new running boards ($500.00), starter, generator and carb rebuilt, new fuel pump, water pumps rebuilt, speedometer reconditioned, new front wheel bearings and seals, seat reupholstered, new arm rests but I can't find the pad for the driver side. I know I have it somewhere. New voltage regulator, new grill teeth and hood boomerangs, new dome light, sun visors and brackets, door mirrors and rear view mirror, New headliner but not installed yet because I suck at interior anything and I'm afraid of damaging it. Gas tank cleaned and lined and new sending unit. new battery tray and hold down, complete new exhaust system, new headlight rings, tail lights, new door panels, kick panels and rear of seat panel. As for rust, there is a little bit in the front rockers and the front bottoms of the rear fenders and on of the bottom front lip of the bed. The truck overall is very solid with excellent cab floor. The rust you see on the top of the hood and cab is surface only and can be sanded and painted. The bed has a metal plate that slides out if you want to remove it and put the original bed wood and strips. I have all the crossmembers. Nothing has ever been modified on this truck and would be a great restoration candidate or drive as is. I have all the reciepts for parts and services I have purchased since I bought it in 2003. This has been my regular driver for years now and has never had any issues or breakdowns. I have put 6000 miles on the new engine and it has never missed a beat once. The truck also comes with owners manual, factory manual, parts book, dealers truck handbook, sales brochure, paint chips pages and 2 boxes of extra parts I got my mits on during the time I have owned this. I also have all the original turn signal parts if you want to install turn signals in the truck. I have posted a lot of pictures so you can get a good idea of the trucks condition and everything that comes with it. If you have any further questions or want to speak further you can call me at (626) 284-4013. If you want to come and see the truck in person, give me a call and we can set an appointment. Please keep calls between 6 and 9 pm monday through friday and anytime on the weekend (within reason of course). I accept cash in person, wire transfer or cashiers check for payment. Sorry, no paypal on this. Payment must clear before the truck is allowed to be picked up. Thanks for understanding. My name is Bill and thanks for any and all interest in my auction.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.

Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]

Mon, 20 May 2013

Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
