I purchased VIN 99T456622 1936 COMMERCIAL in June, 2002 from a very old guy named Bob Stark in the San Fernando Valley. The town name is Receda which is a suburb of Los Angeles.

The truck frame, fenders, bed, glass, etc was in quite bad shape. The front right cab corner was caved in, but other than that the cab, doors, and hood sides looked pretty darn good. Almost every part on the old Ford pickups is available from an assortment of reproduction parts houses. One of the things other than the styling of the ‘35 and ‘36 Ford pickups that keeps the desire and price up is that the cabs, doors, and hood sides are not available from reproduction sources. The 1936 Ford pickup was the last production year for the “heart” shaped grill. 1935 was the last car. The parts house that I used was MAC’s Antique Auto Parts in Lockport, NY.

Bob told me that in 1933 the California Legislature passed the Central Valley Act which would bring water to the Central Valley and to the Bay Area. But in the midst of the Great Depression, revenue bonds were unmarketable so no funding could be found to begin construction of the Central Valley Project. The federal government took over the CVP as a public works project to provide jobs and its construction began in 1935. Bob said that the ‘36 pickup was part of the original fleet purchased for use to build the CVP. This bit of history, and that the pickup had never left the Central Valley in all of that time, and of course the final agreed upon price was the beginnings of the resto-rod that I would build in California style. Resto-rod is a term given to a street rod where the vehicle resembles the original stance. In this case, the body is as original. The solid steel wheels resemble the 1950’s street rod. The uncut body sits about 5 inches lower than the original pickup did with high wire wheels and linkage brakes.

The ’36 is used on a regular basis. It has never been used as a daily driver, but that is how it was built. The project was finished in 2003 and currently has 4,700 miles on. It comes with a photo build book, all of the build receipts, and a quality dust cover. The complete pickup weighs in at about 2,200 pounds. With 330 horse power that is less than 7 pounds per horse power.

The ’36 is nicely built. It is dependable and useful. It hauls ass. I am very proud of it. Circumstances force sale.

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City

Thu, 02 May 2013

Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
