I have owned this truck now since 2007 and when I purchased it, it was in poor shape (however no rust.) I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours restoring this rust free truck. I went with an original Ford color from 2005 Ford Zinc Yellow...from the pictures you can see the paint was done right! The body was pulled off the truck and POR-15 Rust Inhibitive coating was sprayed on undercarriage. All new Rancho RS9000 shocks were installed along with Fabritech ladder bars in the rear. The front DANA44 was rebuilt and a ARB Red differential cover. Most of the undercarriage parts that came off including front coil springs, brackets for shocks and mounts were all powder coated. Front coil spings were powder coated Red. All new Grade 8 hardware installed everywhere as well as stainless steel. New exhaust ran with MagnaFlow stainless mufflers. Brakes were all gone through and new HAWK SuperDuty brake pads installed up front with new RedPowder Coated calipers along with Earl stainless brake lines. Truck has all stainless steel brake lines throughout truck! The Ford 9" rear end has new bearings along with a limited slip differential which makes it run on highways and streets smooth. The Ford 400M motor was rebuilt and rebuilt Aussie closed chamber heads were installed to wake up the motor. Edelbrock cam was installed along with Edelbrock intake manifold and street avenger carburetor. Most parts off motor were also powder coated. A new Saginaw power steering pump was installed and really removed the old Ford power steering problems. A new chrome alternator was also installed along with a Optima RedTop battery. All new wiring and cables installed in motor compartment. Aluminum pulleys were also installed. Headlights were also installed with new halogen style bulbs and wiring kit to brighten headlights. New aluminum Ford grill was installed. All front end wheel wells and radiator housing was pulled off and powder coated black. New hood springs installed along with all new rubber moldings for doors, hood, and glass. Alpine CD player installed with USB hook up. The old Ford gauges were replaced with a custom bezel and new AutoMeter Z gauges. All LED Green lighting installed inside all gauges to match stock look with a brighter LED light. The drivetrain was also gone through and the NP435 manual transmission was rebuilt and a new CenterForce clutch installed with a Ranger 27% overdrive. The Ranger overdrive is awesome and allows for highway cruising at low RPM's so better fuel economy. At 75MPH the engine idles at 2100 RPM's which is much better for cruising. The NP205 transfer case was also rebuilt. The driveshafts were also renewed with new u-joints and sleeves along with new yokes. This truck trully has been renewed. There really is too much to list here. Interior also has new carpet with insulation. Also has Corbeau Moab seats that are comfortable. New seat beats (lap beats as that what was stock in 73.) Grant leather steering wheel and aluminum kit installed. Interior trim and headliner are all new. The air conditioning doesn't work and parts were removed during motor restoration. Heater works awesome and new heater core and hoses installed. There is an electric fan and four core radiator that keeps the motor running cool through all conditions. Tires and wheels are in awesome shape and compliment the truck. I hope I have captured most of the work put into this truck. This sale is an as is sale. I do have a Word document list of all work done and when to the truck along with a lot of part numbers. |

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Ring Brothers shows 1965-66 Mustang fastback carbon fiber body
Thu, 07 Nov 2013We covered one of Ring Brothers' more extreme SEMA builds yesterday, the De Tomaso Pantera-based ADRNLN, but if that well-executed but over-the-top Italian-American exotic is too much for you, then perhaps this Ring Brothers 1965 Ford Mustang fastback with a carbon-fiber body suits your tastes better.
What the performance-parts manufacturer is showcasing with the Mustang is the carbon-fiber body itself, which is fashioned around the 1965-66 fastback. It can be bought from the company and bonded to the skin and unibody as a do-it-yourself project, or you can take your Mustang to Ring Brothers and have the body installed there. The fenders, doors and quarter panels are two-inches wider than stock, and Ring Brothers offers a custom widebody chassis to those who want the complete package.
The show car looks sharp in person lowered on HRE wheels, and we appreciate the bare front end so we can see the supercharged V8 and front coilover suspension, though the details on those performance upgrades are slim. Also note the custom independent rear suspension setup at the rear.
Next Ford Raptor spotted wearing aluminum skin
Wed, 07 May 2014Well, look at what we have here. Judging from these spy shots, Ford is indeed working on the next generation of its off-road-ready F-150 Raptor pickup truck. We've made no attempt to hide our appreciation for the Baja-style truck, which combines most of the usability of a fullsize truck with heavy-duty suspension components to make a kind of performance vehicle that is unique in the market.
What we haven't known, until now, is whether Ford would push forward with its Raptor program now that it has a completely new F-150 to serve as its base. And that's especially true since Ford made the bold move of switching the bodywork of its best-seller from tried-and-true steel to aluminum. As you can see above, the front and rear of this silver truck are clad in current-gen Raptor bodywork, while the center section that houses the occupants appears to come from the upcoming 2015 F-150.
Dissecting the views above, we note a few interesting tidbits. First, there looks to be a bulge in the truck's hood. Second, we see a new grille between the current Raptor's headlights, sporting a mesh finish and two horizontal bars. Lastly, our eyes can't help but lock in on those burly A-arm suspension pieces down below, not to mention all that ground clearance the specialty suspenders bring to the table.
