This has been a great project. I've been faithful in every way I could in restoring this truck to original, while also updating it with a seriously Custom new look. This truck has a solid 351 Cleveland engine ( from a Mach 1 Mustang 1971) with tons of power and running perfectly. It has a three speed on the floor with a B & M shifter and shifts smooth. Lays down rubber for Half a block. A few new parts ( freeze plugs, alternator , battery, battery cables ,voltage regulator) , and a tune up/ oil change were the first thing done. Then the truck got a New dual exhaust system from front to back with Dynomax Super Turbo Mufflers, New 3" pipe and chrome tips, taken out the sides right behind the rear wheels.
I completely dis-assembled the truck and sand-blasted the entire cab , cut out any rust spots a had them re-welded in with 16 gauge steel. Then I eliminated the rear bumper and welded in a custom roll pan for that tucked-under look. Also got a new grill, billet inserts and a brand new chrome bumper. new front signal lights, and new lenses in the back. Then it came to the brakes and steering. New wheel cylinders , brake lines, rag joint , I beam bushings, tie rods, axle pivot bushings, Brake pads. Steering is solid as a rock and brakes are tight. I ripped out the whole interior and painted white - re upholstered the seat with new burlap , foam , and a new custom Red/ Maroon vinyl seat cover. Fatmat insulation installed to reduce road / engine noise. New Red carpet, Headliner, New gauges (aircraft style) and a steel gauge panel from a 1967 F-600 complete the interior. New windsheid, rubber gaskets on all windows and doors+ plus new tracks and felt guides on the door windows. The truck got a set of American Eagle Racing Aluminum 5 spoke spades 15 Wheels and sits nice and low on the R245s. This truck is cherry, No rust anywhere, period. Painted engine compartment red, and painted the motor original Ford Cleveland Blue. Then I took the truck into paint with a smooth Rainbow Flake over Gloss Black paint job that pops eyes out of their sockets wherever it goes. The paint is amazing in person and everyone who sees it cant stop talking about it. I got the idea for the paint scheme from a R/T Charger I saw online , and Ive never seen another one like it. This truck is being classified as a Starter Hot Rod. Because it could be taken further with A/C , stereo, ect. But I will leave that to the next owner. I will add more photos soon, as I am still installing new parts; I have put on New door handles, locks and windshield wipers since I took these pics. I have a new original radio antennae that will be installed. I was inspired by a favorite TV show of mine , you know the one where they customize classic cars and drink beer. Pretty much the same thing went down in my shop. I unleashed a team of metal maniacs on this beast and turned her into the beauty you see before you. It took my 1 year to do all this and hundreds of hours of labor. Im sure the new owner will appreciate the attention to detail. Make a serious offer and I will seriously consider it. But please don't make offers if you are not sure about it or don't have the money right now. Buying a classic car is serious business. This is a seriously bad-ass truck. |

Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
