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.

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
