1957 Ford F100 390 Big Block Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Victorville, California, United States
|
The guy I bought this from combined two or three wiring harnesses from mid-seventies Ford vehicles to make one. I saw the truck run before it was parked, and it ran pretty good. The engine has around 30,000 miles on it. The previous owner was a long haul truck driver, so the truck was only driven when he was off work. Most of the miles are driving back and forth to Colorado. When I got the truck, I started to clean up the wiring, and realized it was a lost cause. The previous owner liked a lot of lights on his pickup. I purchased a new universal wiring harness, but have not had time to install it. When I got it, there was Romex wire for battery cables, and the battery was not very secure. I routed a new battery cable, and mounted a battery box the way it should have been. I bought new tires, and an alternator wiring harness. I also bought new front shocks. The rear-end has 3:91 gears with a limited slip. I really hate to see it go. I will deliver within 50 miles of Victorville.

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches
Tue, 11 Feb 2014The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
