1929 Model A Huckster Pickup Truck on 2040-cars
Springville, Indiana, United States
For Sale:
1929/1930 Ford Model A Huckster Pickup Truck. This truck is originally from Arizona and has !!NO RUST!! except for the passenger side running board (included in pictures and can be bought pretty cheap from Snyder's or other supply stores). The truck also has two small cracks on the passenger side rear fender which is fairly common as well and can be easily welded up (Also a picture of the cracks provided). Otherwise the truck is extremely solid and has no other body issues. The truck has a clear Indiana title and is titled as a 1930 Ford Pickup and has matching block/frame numbers. The body style is late 1929 and from what I've heard they ran that body into early 30' as well. Everything mechanical runs, drives, stops as it should for being 84/85 years old and runs like a clock. I've taken it out multiple times so far this year and haven't had any issues starting right up the first shot! Leaks in the usual places: a little from the water pump which is notorious and small drops from the trans which is common as well. This is not a restored truck and is just a little jalopy that is fun and reliable to hop in and drive (at very slow speeds at that)!!! (Top speed so far is 46mph downhill). New items: Tires, Battery, Starter, taillight wiring. Will need a few items for consistent daily driving: new headlights (ones on it are burnt out), headlight wiring, some type of top (convertible at the moment), full floor, mirrors, windshield wiper, etc but I'm rather simplistic and have had fun with it the way it is. Taillight/Brake light is wired and works but the light is an early 70's Honda cb350 light wired up just to make it legal for the road (hey use what you have!). The last picture is of the truck with the full top screwed on and what an original Huckster looks like. I have this hanging on my wall for the time being and will of course include it in the sale. I also have the original Huckster diagram/plans that I will include with the sale in case you want to restore all of the wood. This truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time. If you would like to as any questions I will try to answer the best I can, please feel free to give me a call at: 260-235-0906 during reasonable hours and if I don't answer please leave your name/number and I will get back to you as soon as I can. If you live local enough to Southern Indiana (Springville/Bedford) please feel free to give me a call and make some time to stop on by for a test drive!!! Please no tire kickers or lowball offers, this is a very nice little truck that is running and ready to go! Payments will be accepted through Paypal or if you are local, cash in person. I do not need help selling :). Thank You, Mike |

2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines
Sat, 23 Feb 2013
It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
