Just Toys Classic Cars is Extremely proud to present one of the coolest trucks that you are ever going to see in your lifetime.

Before you is a 1953 Ford F100 4 Door 4x4 Custom Truck. Now, we know what you are saying, Ford never made a 4 door truck in 1953. You would be correct in your statement. The owner that came up with this idea was struggling to come up with a way to keep his two door truck at the time that he had purchased from his little league baseball coach. He had fond memories of riding in the back of it to baseball practice when he was a kid. So when the opportunity came about, he purchased it from his old coach for $50. That's right folks $50.

Now that you have the back story, let's get into the details. This Blue Angle of a 1953 Ford F100 rides on a 1983 Ford F150 Big Block Chassis. This truck originally had a 400 in it, but later came the current mill under the hood. Now resides a 460 with Cobra Jet heads and 11:1 Compression. All of this is matted to a C6 transmission with a shift kit and a 2500 Stall Converter for good towing. The transfer case as well as the front and rear differential were left stock.

Speaking of stock, the owner wanted to keep as many things original as he could. He didn't want to make this a resto mod truck. He wanted to make it as if Ford built it, this is what they would do. The process took 3 cabs and 6 doors to make what you see here. The body and bed were widened to fit on the frame but the hood and the grill are still stock size. In order to start this truck you still turn the key and press the starter button and listen to that 460 come to life. If you need to pull the E-Brake you do it the old fashioned way by the original handle from 1953.

This truck has dual tanks with hidden openers and the tank switch is on the drivers side floor just like the original. A third brake light was installed for safety as well. The fenders were widened in order to fit the larger tires, but these are not cheap fiberglass fenders. Again, this truck was built as if Ford did it in 1953. The amount of man hours that went into this truck is immeasurable. The bed was made wider and a tailgate was made for this truck as well. As you will see in the pics there is a class three hitch so you can tow with this truck as well.

The seats are out of a 2003 F150, the moonroof is out of an 83 Eldorado, and there is just custom stuff everywhere. This truck speaks for itself. You just have to see it for yourself to believe it. We could go on and on with everything that is done to make this 1953 Ford F100 truck the coolest thing on the planet that you could drive anywhere you want any day of the week. Give us a call today and let's talk about you taking this truck home.

We have financing available for those that would like to take advantage of the option. We look forward to speaking with you soon and making you the newest member of the Just Toys Classic Cars Family.

2014 Ford Fusion to get 1.5L EcoBoost three-cylinder?

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Just one year after launching the all-new 2013 Fusion, Ford is reportedly set to alter the sedan's powertrain lineup with the addition of a new 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost engine. A member of Blue Oval Forums apparently got their hands on the ordering guide for the 2014 model year Fusion, and this 1.5-liter mill is set to be introduced with late availability.
This lines up with other news about the Chinese-market Mondeo being offered with a new 1.5-liter EcoBoost - a derivative of the 1.0-liter triple that will come to North America under the hood of the Fiesta (note: the 1.0 is also offered in the current Euro-spec Mondeo). In the Chinese application, the larger three-pot engine produces 177 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the current 1.6-liter inline-four's output numbers of 178 hp and 184 lb-ft.
What's interesting, however, is that the 1.6-liter engine will reportedly still be offered in the Fusion, but only with the six-speed manual transmission. The smaller 1.5-liter EcoBoost will only be mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic, and will feature start/stop. This means that while the 1.5 is slightly down on power compared to the 1.6, it could easily improve fuel economy numbers, allowing the Fusion to regain the title of having the best mileage in the segment, likely besting the 38 miles per gallon of the Nissan Altima. Currently, the Fusion 1.6 is rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his dog for a drift

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

Vaughn Gittin Jr. spends a great deal of his workday going sideways, but he's usually alone in the endeavor. For a guy that is clearly a dog lover, we imagine that can get a bit lonely.
That won't be a problem for Gittin in this latest video, which features the racer hanging out with his good pal Brody (a dog) and everyone's favorite hot hatch, the Ford Fiesta ST.

Detroit 3 and UAW set for showdown over tiered wages

Mon, Mar 23 2015

This week, thousands of United Auto Workers will converge on Cobo Center in Detroit for the Special Convention on Collective Bargaining, an every-four-year event that lets members tell UAW leaders what the negotiating priorities should be during contract negotiations. This is where a lot of sand and a lot of lines start coming together in preparation for contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit 3 automakers, which will happen later this year. Number one on the UAW agenda is the end of the two-tier wage system created in 2007 to help the automakers get through bankruptcy; veteran workers are paid the Tier 1 rate of around $29.00 per hour, new hires are paid the Tier 2 rate of between $15 and $20 and get about half the benefits of Tier 1. Tier 2 hiring has been an undoubted success for the automakers, allowing them to keep factories in the US and hire more workers. By agreement, it is capped at a certain percentage of each automaker's workforce, and while the union's ultimate position is to get rid of the dual-scale system entirely; one leader said Ford could easily afford the $335 million it would take to convert all its workers to Tier 1 out of its $6.9 billion in 2014 North American profit, and General Motors could do the same out of the $5 billion it is handing to investors through the (admittedly forced) share buyback. Other delegates say that at the very least they'd be happy with enforcement of the current caps in the new contract. The automakers, conversely, would welcome expansion of the Tier 2 ranks. Including benefits, import automakers pay workers "in the high $40 range" per hour, according to an analyst, while Ford and GM pay about $59 in wages and benefits per hour. More Tier 2 workers on the rolls would let those two companies get labor cost parity with the competition. Fiat-Chrysler pays wages closer to the imports because of special exceptions in its UAW contract that allow unlimited Tier 2 hiring; those exceptions will end on September 14 and bring FCA into line with the other domestics, unless the new contract maintains them. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne is opposed to the two-tier system, having called it "almost offensive." One analyst says the UAW might win a sizable pay raise for Tier 2 and a small increase for Tier 1, but the keystone issue will be how the hiring matrix can help the automakers keep overall wages in line with the imports.
