This classic fatfender beauty was purchased in 2009, restored and updated. It features the original 223 inline 6 cylinder engine (which was rebuilt) and 3 speed manual HD transmission. NO overheating problems at all. Truck runs down the road straight and fine. Tires were new last year. Front disc brakes and a dual master cylinder were added along with a toyota power steering conversion. All new hoses and brake lines installed. New steel fuel tank installed. This truck was stripped down to the frame and redone. The stock suspension was overhauled with new kingpins and bushings. Frame was scrubbed and coated with POR 15. All the wiring has been converted over to new 12 volt negative ground. New battery and alternator with all new wiring. New carpet and custom interior installed. All new glass installed. The original dash instruments were not hooked up except for speedo and odometer (they are accurate and work). I installed a new gauge cluster that gives better readings than the stock gauges ever did. It starts and runs good. We have driven this truck over 1300 miles since it was road ready last year. The rear end was changed out to a Dana 44 (3.73 gears). Allows the truck to run at 65-70mph down the highway. It features a custom wooden flatbed with decorative stake sides. This truck was rebuilt as a daily/weekend driver, not a show truck. It still has some small dings but any rust was removed long ago. It is 95% finished. Needs a e-brake cable and driver side door latch needs replaced. Drive it like it is or spend the time at your pace to finalize it. The paint job is new but has not been wetsanded out and buffed. Family obligations are forcing me to sell the truck now. It has a clear Michigan title. If you have LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACKS, Contact me PRIOR to bidding or I will cancel your bid.

Has the 2015 Ford Mustang gained hundreds of pounds?
Sun, 01 Jun 2014Automakers face competing interests when it comes to developing a new generation of vehicle. On the one hand, companies want to build their cars to be safer and better handling, with more equipment and maybe even larger dimensions over the model it's replacing. On the other hand, they strive to keep weight down to the benefit of both performance and fuel consumption. Usually something has to give, and in the case of the new 2015 Ford Mustang, those efforts may have resulted in a weight penalty of two or three hundred pounds.
This according to Blue Oval modifier Steeda Autosports, which states that "the 2015 Mustang ended up gaining 200-300 pounds in this remake". Despite the Mustang not being on the market yet, it would appear the leading Ford aftermarketer has been given early access to the 2015 model to help jumpstart its tuning efforts (a rather common development among trusted tuners). If Steeda's assertion is accurate, that would make the challenge of getting the new pony car up to speed for both Ford and aftermarket customizers like Steeda that much greater.
We're waiting for official word from Ford on the veracity of Steeda's claim, but if true, it's bound to be a bit of disappointing news for legions of Blue Oval performance enthusiasts. Watch this space for more.
Ford Mustang Mach-E fails Sweden's moose test
Wed, Sep 29 2021The infamous moose test has claimed another casualty. This time it's the Ford Mustang Mach-E AWD Long Range, which was tested in an electric four-way alongside the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Skoda Enyaq iV (an electric utility vehicle closely related to the Volkswagen ID.4 that is sold in the United States). According to the Swedish testers at Teknikens Varld, Ford's electric car not only failed to hit the speed necessary for a passing grade, it didn't perform well at slower speeds, either. To pass the outlet's moose test, a car has to complete a rapid left-right-straight S-shaped pattern marked by cones at a speed of at least 72 km/h (44.7 miles per hour). The test is designed to mimic the type of avoidance maneuver a driver would have to take in order to avoid hitting something that wandered into the road, which in Sweden may be a moose but could just as easily be a deer or some other member of the animal kingdom elsewhere in the world, or possibly a child or car backing into the motorway. Not only is the maneuver very aggressive, it's also performed with weights belted into each seat and more weight added to the cargo area to hit the vehicle's maximum allowable carrying capacity. The Mustang Mach-E only managed to complete the moose test at 68 km/h (42.3 mph), well below the passing-grade threshold. Even at much lower speeds, Teknikens Varld says the Mach-E (which boasts the highest carrying capacity and was therefore loaded with more weight than the rest of the vehicles tested in this quartet) is "too soft in the chassis" and suffers from "too slow steering." Proving that it is indeed possible to pass the test, the Hyundai and Skoda completed the maneuver at the 44.7-mph figure required for a passing grade and the Tesla did it at 46.6 mph, albeit with less weight in the cargo area. It's not clear whether other versions of the Mustang Mach-E would pass the test. It's also unknown if Ford will make any changes to its chassis tuning or electronic stability control software, as some other automakers have done after a poor performance from Teknikens Varld, to improve its performance in the moose test.
