1922 Model T Produce Delivery Truck on 2040-cars
Oak Harbor, Washington, United States
This is an original Ford Model T one ton truck chassis with the commercial truck body installed by DeKalb Wagon Co, DeKalb, Ill. It is very original, with original lettering on the side from the first owner in Delaware. I have the original title issued to this original owner from the state of Delaware dated Sept. 6, 1922. I am the 5th owner and have copies of the titles for all previous owners. DeKalb Wagon Co. purchased Ford Model T one ton chassis' and installed a number of different commercial truck bodies. This body is #641 and is pictured in an article about DeKalb Wagon Co. Everything looks original to me. There may have been some touch up of the paint in a few spots. It is solid, well preserved, and a very unique item. It runs and drives very nicely. I occasionally have a struggle getting it started when it is cold, but I think that is driver error as I may be flooding it. It has new transmission bands, a new exhaust manifold, and the fuel and cooling systems have been cleaned and function as they should. The delivery body is very solid and original. Using the original bolts and side brackets we installed bench seats in the back for passengers. We also installed the signs you see in the photos to the back rests. The signs DO NOT go with this sale. The seats are included and can be removed with no evidence they were ever on the truck. Thus, no originality was tampered with. Please examine the photos, and ask questions you may have. I will do my best to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible. You can call me with questions etc. if you wish. Rich: 206-240-9434. I will assist in arranging transportation on this end. Actual mileage is unknown as it does not have an odometer.

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod
Tue, 21 Oct 2014Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.
2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
