Truck Forums - Report: Ford may shift truck plants to cars

News from the Star Tribune:

"...Ford plans to close the St. Paul plant next year, and Sen. Norm Coleman spoke with Ford officials last week to urge them to consider keeping it open. Coleman said then that Ford officials did not indicate they would change their plans to close the Ford plant, but they did say they were reviewing "all aspects of their operations."..."

"...In its story this morning, the News said converting a factory to flexible manufacturing can take up to six months and cost $250 million or more. The St. Paul plant is more than 80 years old, and it is the only remaining plant that makes the Ranger for the U.S. market..."
