Short Bed

Sometimes you get the chance to find some well preserved trucks.  And sometimes you get to find some that are just amazing.  This is the amazing one.  So I thought I would test the waters and see if there was anyone interested in it before I start in on it.   The truck from what I have learned belonged to a gentlemen in California who owned an old oil business back in the day.  He ordered it with this custom color for his business.  The truck was in the CA desert its entirety and was built in the San Jose plant.  The vin plate has the letters "SS" stamped in the color section.  That means special order from the factory.  The truck is almost all original.  It has never been painted and does not have any cancer.  In fact, it is very straight except a little fender bender that any collision shop with the right tools could help pull out.  It still has the spare tire under the bed and the beds strips are usable if you wanted to keep that original patina look that is very popular.  The interior is in good shape for it's age and the dash is uncut... The chassis has not been chopped and it is all original.  The only thing that was changed recently by an excited owner that I bought it from was the motor.  It came with a 223, but now has a good running 390 Engine and 4 speed trans.  The motor runs good and the brakes work as well. He left the linkage on the steering column in case you want to go backwards.   The motor seems to have lots of power.  And the install was clean.  Not hacked up.  If you have any questions please call me or send me an email. Jason 480-619-8353     I have owned probably 30 of these trucks and have loved them all but one.  :)  

Thanks for looking, The truck is currently in Arizona.

If you are a zero bidder, please contact me before bidding.  I will cancel your bids if you don't qualify yourself upfront.  

And although this is a running driving truck, I can't guarantee it will drive across the country or even 50 miles across town.  So please make arrangements to have it shipped if you buy it.  I also have tried to describe the truck to the best of my ability.   I strongly recommend that you call or email me with your questions so that you are not confused at what you are getting.  There is NO WARRANTY expressed or implied.  Buyer buys it AS IS.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
