All Original 1961 F250 4x4 292 V8 4 Speed On The Floor "highboy" Ex School Truck on 2040-cars
Alpine, California, United States
|
It was originally a school truck, the body is in great shape for it's age, only 2 small spots of rust both on the drivers side door area, probably sat under a tree on that side. I pulled the motor because it was stuck, since then I have broken it loose, was rebuilt once with .10 over rod and mains. Cylinders are smooth, with a light ridge at the top. You can get a ridge reamer and hone for free rental at Autozone. Heads were definitely rebuilt, see the pic's. Truck sat for awhile I planned on doing a rering and bearing kit on the motor, tranny and clutch look and work great. Truck came with a 2 bbl on it, still have it but not sure it can be resurected. I was thinking a nice cam and a 4bbl might get this little guy moving! Seat needs reupholstered, gas tank is like new already pulled as I planned on putting in and underbed one, floorboards are solid, as is bed. Yes that is the stock height of the suspension, could probably fit 35's easily. Motor and tranny are divorced from the Transfer case via a short driveshaft, so if you want to you can basically put any motor/tranny combo you want up front. This was called the most hardworking truck ever made in it's day, probably why you can't find them anymore! All the glass is good, a few chips in the windshield. I have an extra set of doors so you can choose if you want the other set, just different mirrors. Brakes work, rolling around easily, tires hold air, ...was a daily driver till parked.

Cadillac ELR, Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas win Eyes on Design awards
Fri, 18 Jan 2013This year's annual Eyes on Design awards were presented at the end of press days for the Detroit Auto Show on Tuesday. Given out for the best production and concept car designs that debuted at the show, and voted on by an esteemed panel of actual car designers, this year's award for best production vehicle design went to the 2014 Cadillac ELR. The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, which was the show favorite among Autoblog editors, apparently did not impress the Eyes on Design judges enough with its all-new vent-festooned design.
The award for best concept design was actually split as a tie among the Nissan Resonance and Ford Atlas concepts. Last year's winners were the 2013 Ford Fusion and the Lexus LF-LC concept.
The Eyes on Design organization also presented a new honor this year called the Catalyst Award to Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman of General Motors. Lutz is reported to have given a defense of design in his acceptance speech, arguing that advancements in quality across the industry as a whole have made good design a key differentiator for buyers.
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 reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
