This truck was Lowered and Mini Tubbed in the summer of 2011, The rear end is an 8.8 positrac with 3:73 gears and 31 spline Moser axles. The inner wheel wells were moved in 2" and the bed spray lined by Scorpion bed lining. The springs were moved from outside the frame rails to under the rails using Ford Explorer mounts and the frame was C-notched. It has 15x5 front wheels with 155/80R15 B.F. Goodrich tires and the rear has 15X10 with 275/60R15 B.F. Goodrich tires, tires were New in 2011.It has 3" drop beams and New Upper and Lower Ball Joints, also New Inner and Outer Tie Rod ends and Drag link. New shocks and the brakes were replaced completely including New hardware and hoses. I used Timken, Moog, FoMoCo, Raybestos Wagner and Energy Suspension parts to name a few. I didn't use the cheap parts because I had planned to put a 5.0 from a Mustang GT in it for myself to drive. It is an A/C truck. When I bought it had the factory 2.9 V6 with a Koyo 5 Spd. I found a truck with a 2.3 4 Cyl. and a Mazda 5 Spd. that had been wrecked with about 87000 miles on it. I changed everything over everything and those who have looked at it say they couldn't tell the engine wasn't factory. I put a factory Ford 2.3 header on it. and at the time I changed the motor and trans I took the head off and had it checked for cracks I reinstalled the head with New head gasket, Water pump and timing belt and also installed an New Clutch Pressure plate and throw out bearing, pilot bearing. I also changed the plugs, wires and coils at that time. The truck runs and drives very well. Great start on a V8 Ranger or just a toy as it is. I also have some extra parts included, Traction bars, Rear bumper off a Bronco II and a low back 60/40 bench seat also a crack free dash. The truck shows 98422 on the odometer the motor and trans now have around 100,000 on them. |

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

Exceptionally rare '65 Ford GT40 Roadster prototype up for auction
Sat, 14 Jun 2014Think of mid-engined supercars and your mind is bound to gravitate towards Europe, but the United States has been known to make a handful from time to time - exceptional vehicles from the likes of Vector, SSC, Mosler, Hennessey, and Saleen. But long before any of those came around, Ford famously became obsessed with beating Ferrari at its own game, leading to the development of the iconic GT40.
The story is well known, sending Ford to the checkered flag at Le Mans four times in a row in the late 1960s. Ford and Shelby also built over 100 for public consumption, but just four of them were roadsters. Of those only one remains in original condition, and now that exceedingly rare example going up for auction.
Consigned to RM Auctions for its mid-August sale during Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, California, this 1965 model is the first GT40 Roadster built. It was used as a development and demonstration vehicle for Ford and Shelby. Carroll Shelby himself drove Henry Ford II in this very car during one of many test and demo events, this time held for Ford's board of directors in Los Angeles.
