1934 Ford Truck, This old Ford has spent more time in storage that on the road. As a result it is in considerably better condition than most unrestored old trucks you will find, it is on the big truck chassis, but all the body parts with the exception of the running boards are the same as a pick-up truck. The body with the exception of the door bottoms is in very good condition. Somehow this truck survived the years without getting all beat up and rusted. The rust in the bottom of the doors resulted from mouse nests in the doors while it was in storage. The doors at present have factory made 7" patch panels temporaly pop riveted in place, fine for a rat rod, but additional work would be required for a good restoration, or better quality rod. There are now door skins available that go all the way up to the body line in the door. I was told complete door skins are also available, but I have not been able to confirm that. The front fenders have no rust holes or rips, and very few dents. The running boards are like NOS. The hood and grill shell still have most of there original paint. The radiator, seat and some trim are missing. I do have the stainless trim for around the grill. The truck is otherwise amazingly complete including all 4 hub caps and the spare tire holder hardware. The engine and transmission are in the truck and look to be original and complete. The wheels are in good condition but the tires are old and dry. The windshield is cracked, but the other glass is OK. The top of the hood has a dent, the cab is very straight. In my opinion this truck would be a great start for a restoration or neat rod. The steel is a whole lot better as is than many "Rat Rods" I have seen. I do not have a title for this truck, E-Bay required the field to be filled in. I have register many old cars and trucks over the years that had no paper work, it can be frustrating, but not really that hard to do. I am including a picture of my 32 Ford Truck Rod, I found the 32 a Hershey and it was closer to completion than the 34. They are about the some body and buying the 32 is the reason I have decided to offer the 34 for sale. Ask questions or make an appointment to see the truck, McLean is between Cortland and Ithaca in central NY.

I had trouble loading pictures, I will try to add more later.
I took new pictures today and have added them to the listing, They show pin holes on inside of door bottoms,and PA license plate covering larger hole. There is one 1/4 inch tear in the drivers side fender near the mounting bolt, no rips in the bead. Picture of back of cab shows stress cracks where cab bottom has rested on the frame after the wood in the cab mounts got soft. The louvers in the hood sides are in good shape.Hope this helps.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack
Wed, 24 Sep 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.

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.
2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
