At the start of this listing, less than 150 miles driven since complete rebuild of engine, carburetor and new clutch. Cooling system refurbished recently. Low miles on nearly new tires. Recent glass replacement with new seals and fairly recently replaced oak bed. Finish is "Class B" -- nice enough to show but not quite a trophy winner, which makes it very much of a daily driver. There are a few minor chips and scratches in the paint, but still very glossy and handsome. Few signs of its 60-year history as a work truck that spent its first fifty years in a single family on a farm in Ohio where it likely lived in a barn since there are no signs of salt damage and only minor rusting in a few remote places like the bottom of the battery box (battery acid induced?). Mechanically and structurally sound and runs sweetly. Lots of friction linings (0.260") left on the brakes. Six-volt electrics with optional 12-volt battery for the starter. Only the speedometer, odometer and ammeter of the factory original gauges work. An auxiliary fuel gauge provides accurate information about fuel tank level. Upholstery, rubber floor mat and interior cab lining are all in very good condition. Vehicle was purchased by me in February 2009 from a dealer who was probably the second owner.
This year was the 50th anniversary year of Ford being in the car manufacturing business. It is the first year of the "F100" designation for half-ton pickups, and the last year that Ford offered the popular flathead V8 engine. Extreme attempts were made to keep the engine and rest of the pickup very close to factory original. Exceptions would be chrome front and rear bumpers, chrome baby moon hub caps, and twin chrome exhaust tips. The over-sized exhaust tips give the vehicle a pleasant deep-throated "rumble" sound.
Working odometer reads about 67,000 miles and works, but may have rolled over meaning that it could have 100,000 more miles than is indicated, though unlikely based on the nice condition of the chassis, sheet metal, mechanics, etc.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva
Sun, 24 Feb 2013We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.
Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
