Alton, Illinois, United States
Engine:Chevy 327
Mileage: 100,000
Make: Ford
Model: Other Pickups
Trim: standard
Drive Type: rear wheel
This is a 1934 Ford truck I am selling for a friend. It is powered by a 327 Chevy with a turbo 400 transmission. The engine has an aluminum Dominator intake with a 4 bbl. Quadra Jet carb. Mustang style floor shifter .Has the stock radiator. Has a dropped tube front axle with hairpin style radius rods. Drum brakes front and rear. There is a problem with the drivetrain. It is the rear axle set-up. There is a Chevy 10 bolt coil axle type rear end mounted to Camaro single leaf springs. The springs are bent badly and the whole installation is done poorly. I would say it all needs replaced. The truck does run good but I consider the rear end set-up unsafe to drive. The body is fair, does not appear to be rotted out but has bondo and there are chips dings etc. The doors do not align very well. Interior is OK. Truck would have to be trailered as it is not safe to drive except maybe around the block. I would highly recommend coming and inspecting the truck. I will require a 500 dollar deposit within 5 days of purchase to Paypal, Remainder of payment will be arranged with my friend who will contact buyer. The truck does have a clear title. I want to make sure it is understood this is a running truck but needs work to make it safe and drivable, rear axle set up mainly. Bid with confidence, check my feedback and please ask any questions you may have.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along
Wed, 24 Sep 2014You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
