1946 Ford Pickup on 2040-cars
Belgrade, Montana, United States
|
For sale are these 1942-1947 Ford 1/2 ton pickup body panels from a dry Montana truck - they are the only pieces for sale, not the chassis. I bought this for the frame and don't know much about the body except what I have to say here. Montana metal is the best! No road salt, dry climate - most of the original paint is still on the body! Why fight rust when you don't have too? If you blasted these, you'd have some solid parts to work with. Look at what these parts go for repro/used and you'll see this is a good package deal. Obviously, ask questions and shoot me an offer. You get: 1) Cab - very nice shape, only surface rust except cab floors (floors are rusty and need replacement panels), solid firewall/drip rails/window frames, uncut dash, includes valuable gauge cluster (not reproduced) and heater, comes with seat back springs (nice shape, still with some covering) but no bottom cushion, gas tank, reproduction passenger door (no drivers). I believe this cab fits 1937-47, but please check yourself. 2) Bed - fairly straight, has spare tire carrier, original metal floor covering, no tailgate, no wood subfloor. I believe this bed fits 1942-50 half tons, but please check yourself. 3) Rear Fenders - these aren't even reproduced except in fiberglass - no cancer but would need plenty of work repairing dents and tears 4) Running Boards - each has a 2 inch hole where pipe was welded on sticking upwards (not sure why), serviceable but would also need work Buyer is encouraged to inspect these in person; located in Belgrade, Montana, near Bozeman. Parts are sold as-is and where-is and buyer is responsible for asking questions before bidding, and for shipping. You get no title, frame or running gear with this, only the parts listed above. I require a $500 PayPal deposit and the balance in cash upon picking up the parts, which are loose from the frame and ready to load. I will be happy to answer any inquiries. Thanks! 406-594-3075 |

Ford Police Interceptors win acceleration war against Dodge, Chevy
Thu, 17 Oct 2013Just last month, Ford announced its first-ever non-pursuit-rated version of the Police Interceptor sedan for agencies looking to maximize fuel economy, but that doesn't mean that Ford is giving up on chasing down the bad guys. While the Dodge Charger can lay claim to the fastest lap time at the Grattan Raceway test facility held by the Michigan State Police, the results are now in for the Police Vehicle Evaluation acceleration tests. And Ford's Police Interceptor duo (sedan and utility) came out on top.
In the acceleration tests, Ford says that the Taurus-based PI Sedan with the newly available 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 was the quickest among prospective police cars in both 0-60 and 0-100 mile per hour times. The sedan posted a 0-60 time of 5.66 seconds with all-wheel drive and 5.71 seconds with front-wheel drive, besting V8-powered competitors like the Chevy Caprice and Dodge Charger by more than 0.3 seconds. These rivals close the gap on the AWD sedan in the 0-100 test with the Ford taking 13.5 seconds compared to the Chevy's time of 14.35 and the Dodge's time of 14.7.
As for utility vehicles, the Explorer-based PI Utility, which accounts for 60 percent of Ford's police vehicle sales, essentially went head-to-head with the V8-powered Chevy Tahoe with similar results. Equipped with the new EcoBoost engine option, this big SUV hit 60 mph in just 6.28 seconds and 100 mph in 15.51 seconds compared to times of 8.22 seconds and 21.95 seconds, respectively, for the Tahoe. Other important tests in the PVE include braking and top speed, but while no automakers have stepped up to boast about their numbers in either of these categories, Ford's images show that the V8 Caprice had the highest top speed of the cars at 155 mph while the Tahoe's 139-mph speed made it the fastest utility vehicle.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
