This is an all steel 1936 Ford pickup titled as a 1936, body properly mounted on a 1989 Ford Ranger 2WD chassis. It has a good running 2.3 with an automatic trans power steering and power brakes. This setup makes this truck pretty reliable, good on gas and pretty easy to drive. It is a daily driver right now but could use a lot of finishing touches. Here's what it has. Working lights, working rear blinkers, and working rear flashers. It has a heater in it and I drive it in the winter on dry road days. Working speedo, fuel guage and temp, alt. guages. Recored flat head radiator. New exhaust, new timing belt, decent tires and decent brakes. It needs front blinkers, windshield wipers, front bumper installed, (I have it) headliner and interior trim to name a few things. I have the hood side cover for the driver side but the brake booster and power steering pump is in the way and would need to be moved. It's really about personal taste. I like it the way it is. I haven't washed it in two years because I like the just came out of a field look. It's just a cool old truck. The windows roll up and down and it has a sliding rear window. The front window has a crack but it's in my wifes line of vision not mine so it stays. It still needs some body work on one rear fender but the truck itself is pretty solid and very near ready to paint if desired but I've always felt it looks way to nice to mess up with shiny paint. It comes with a box of parts like all new door and window rubber, chrome trim pieces and other stuff specific to this truck. If you can't complete the sale please don't bid to much on it. If you really like it and want it bid alot and we'll work out the details. I'm not someone that's going to make all kinds of demands like: ASK YOUR WIFE FIRST!!!!! DEPOSIT WITHIN 3 SECONDS OF AUCTION END!!!!! AAAHHH!!! If you want the truck I'm sure we'll make it happen. Ask questions I'll answer quickly and honestly. I'm bidding on a car I have always wanted or I wouldn't even sell my truck. It is for sale locally so I might end the auction early if it sells locally. Thanks for looking.

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.
Ford files trademark application for 'Model E'
Fri, 27 Dec 2013In early December, Ford filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Model E." Historically, Ford never produced a Model E, and while automakers are known to file for trademarks they never use, some have wondered if the application might be used for a concept car.
Based on other recent events, though, it could be a legal move. In 2000 Ford sued an online start-up called Model E over the similarity of that name to Ford's industry-shaping Model T, but the judge dismissed the case citing lack of proper grounds. In August 2013, Tesla applied for trademark registration for Model E, and at the time, Ford said it would review the application. Tesla actually made two applications for Model E, one for automobiles and structural parts therefore, the other for "providing maintenance and repair services for automobiles," and there are plenty of theories about what the name could be applied to.
The Published for Opposition date for Tesla's applications is December 31, 2013, after which anyone who thinks they'd be harmed by Tesla being granted the trademark gets 30 days to register their issues. This is just speculation, but Ford's application - which was filed for automobiles only - might be about protecting what it sees as unwelcome encroachment on the name Model T, protection it wasn't able to enforce before when the stakes were only online and much smaller.
