1947 Ford 1 (one) Ton Pickup Truck Project 1942 on 2040-cars
Spring Creek, Nevada, United States
I bought this truck and was told it is a 1942. I have not checked the VIN on the frame to confirm this. With the truck came a 1947 Frame with an Idaho Title. These trucks also usually had the VIN number on a data plate attached to the inside of the glove box door. I have the door and data plate with the VIN for the 1947 Title that matches the extra frame. The extra frame has all of the running gear except the motor. The motor in the complete pickup is a six cylinder but I have not tried to turn it over. It looks to be complete except for the air cleaner. If you look at the pictures, you will notice the extra frame has 4 tires that hold air. The truck has one or two that will hold air. This has a 5 hole bolt pattern that is larger than a 1/2 ton Ford pickup. These are 17” Split rims so however the truck is loaded it only has 5 or 6 tires that hold air. The distance between the studs center to center of the stud is 4 inches. And the studs are big. The truck has no glass in it except for broken glass in the door windows. I picked 6 or 8 rocks out of the cab that took care of the windows. I tried to show the rust hole in the floor. I would plan on some work there. The cab has rust in the cab corners but the doors look good. The bed, other than dents and some cut out holes is not too rusty. The wood is bad. I tried to show the worst of the dents on the roof where it looks as if someone got on top. All in all not a bad cab. The wheelbase of this truck is 122 inches. I thought it would probably fit on a later S10 or full sized pickup frame?? That’s where the glove box VIN might be handy. That’s what I had planned to do with it but, as my wife told me, I have more projects already than I will get done in my lifetime. Unfortunately she is right. If you plan to use the original frame the gentleman I got it from told me he understood the brakes had been re-done on the 47 frame. I have not had anything apart to look at that so cannot confirm. Extra parts include a hood with the latching mechanism and Ford trim, extra set of front fenders, inner fender panels, and grill. I do have the side trim for the hood and a decent front bumper is in the bed. Also I have what I believe is a decent gas tank that someone plugged the inlet to prevent water from entering. I also have a set of headlight trim rings and park light rings. If you have any specific questions just ask. I will be happy to help get it loaded to the best of my ability. I require $500.00 via Paypal within 48 hours and rest before or when picked up. |

Ford calling in 28k Edge crossovers over fuel line leak
Thu, 16 Jan 2014A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
