Up for sale is a very nice 1938 Dodge pickup. This truck was built over the winter by Altered Image and it was a ground up build. It is ground down raw metal with 3 coats of semi gloss clear sprayed over top. I have had the truck at quite a few shows this year and have received a few trophies and tons of interest from people and other builders. I have put about 650 miles on the truck since it was finished and it runs and drives really nice for what it is. The truck runs along great at 65-70 mph on the expressway and you can idle in traffic all day and the temp with stay around 180-190 degrees. The truck drives straight down the road and corners very nice.90% of the truck consist of new parts and I have all receipts for the complete build as well as a ton of pictures that will go to the new owner. Just for reference I am 6' tall and roughly 180 pounds and I drive the truck everywhere.

As for the truck here are some of the details.


Chassis / Suspension:
The frame is built out of 2''x4'' tubing, z'd front and rear, x bracing under the cab and all plated in 1/4'' plate. The frame is very well built. Front axle is a Lucky 7 4'' drop axle, 28-48 spindles, Speedway disc brake conversion, traditional radius arms, all suspension and steering bars consist of 5/8'' heim joints, mono leaf front spring, rear axle is disc brake Ford, coil springs in the rear, 4 linked rear with a J bar. 

Engine / Trans:

The motor is a small block chevy that has been bored .30 over and is now a 355ci. Some parts are pro comp intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, Comp Cams .500 lift cam, comp cam lifters, comp cam hardened push rods, meling high volume oil pump, GM crank and rods, Comp cam double roller timing chain, heavy duty flywheel, small GM starter, small distributor, Gilmer belt and pully set, finned aluminum tall valve covers and air cleaner, K&N air filter, 2000 stall convertor, billet trans pan, braided kickdown cable, and tons of little aftermarkets.

Interior:

The interior is simple but clean with the floor channeled about 5'', sheet metal bomber seats built to fit the cab, 3/4'' steering with all star pull off steering wheel adapter, 14'' Long acre steering wheel, aluminum gauge panel with gauges consisting of volts, temp., oil pressure, and fuel level. Also worked into the panal are you turn signal and high beam indicators. The glove box is a nice storage spot as well and it is 12''wide x 7'' deep x 7'' tall with a cigarette lighter in it to charge your phone or run your gps. There are lap belts and I installed new style latches in the doors so when you shut the door it latches and your not going to fall out. The door handles and window cranks all function and there is door glass in both doors that you can roll up.

Other:

The fuel cell is 15 gallons, the headers were built to clear the steering. There 1 7/8'' to 3'' collectors with 10'' mufflers and the turn down tips. The rims are 17x7 and I just installed NEW tires the other day that are 235/55R17. These have about 30 miles on them now. The tail lights are early 30's ford and they are tinted as well as the front turn signals.

There is just so much going on with the truck that everywhere you look you will notice something. That was the best part of the build and all the little detail. It is very neat and gets tons of attention. This is great to take to shows, Cruises, or just to do a little grocery shopping.

I do have the truck for sale locally as well as online. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call at 989-529-5485.

Buyer is responsible for shipping costs but I will help in any way I can with a shipper to make it easier.

Thanks for looking.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year

Mon, Nov 9 2015

With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.

The article appears in the December/January issue, on newsstands November 17, and on RoadandTrack.com. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," said Larry Webster, editor-in-chief of Road & Track. "Not only does the car have soul and harness so much firepower with such ease, but the real achievement here is that it's so approachable. It's a car you can't help but love." The Mustang Shelby GT350R was the winner by a runaway vote.

Dodge launches 1 of 1 Viper configurator

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Get comfortable because you might be spending a good chunk of time in front of the computer on this. The configurator for the 2015 Dodge Viper GTC 1 of 1 is now online, and it's a ton of fun to play around with. Mechanically, the GTC is just like every current Viper with a 645-horsepower, 8.4-liter V10. But for the special editions Dodge lets buyers tinker with practically everything aesthetic thing. For the exterior alone, the choices include some 8,000 available body colors, two stripe styles in innumerable shades, two hood designs and various brake caliper hues. Plus, there are 16 upholstery colors inside, and options like red seat belts and carbon fiber trim. Dodge reckons there are over 25 million possible combinations, and the models are available to customers on a first-come-first serve basis for each model year. Although, two people wanting identical cars seems pretty unlikely. The configurator is a beauty too. It makes all of these myriad options extremely easy to pick from, and there are even four resolution settings to see your creation in the best possible way. Prices for the GTC start at $94,995 and deliveries are set to start in the second quarter of the year. Although, even if you have no intention of buying one, specifying these custom coupes is still highly entertaining.
