1937 Ford Pickup Model 73 Half-Ton F-85 Flathead V8 - 3pd Full Frame Off Restoration Completed In 1999 High Quality Restoration Still Look's Excellent With Less Then 5,000 Miles Since Completion. One Gorgeous Pickup!
Description:
Ford restyled its line of pickup trucks for 1935 with a more curvaceous grille, skirted fenders and a laid-back windshield. The new trucks enjoyed phenomenal success, especially surprising given that the country was in the depths of the Great Depression. That success was enough to convince the company to continue the line virtually unchanged in the years ahead, including 1937. One short-lived change was the introduction that year of a downsized economy version of the 221 CI flathead V-8, but a severe lack of power was its undoing and the factory soon dropped it from the equipment list. Another innovation for 1937 was a new 2-piece split-vee windshield, which gave better visibility and made the truck’s cozy cabin seem a little roomier. This 1937 Ford Model 73 half-ton pickup is typical of the utilitarian nature of that line. The truck features straight sheet metal all around, with Medium Green paint on the cab and pickup bed and matching fenders, running boards are black finished with chrome wheels. Its full-bore 221/85 HP flathead A engine resides in a fully restored engine compartment finished as it would have appeared in 1937, including a downdraft Stromberg 97 carb with oil bath air cleaner. The Ford’s purposeful interior has been restored with the correct material for the seats and floor mats and is typical of the vintage, employing operating gauges and a 100 MPH speedometer in a twin-gauge instrument panel. A few period correct items have been installed like dual mirrors, blinkers, rear view mirror with clock etc. Completing this rare ‘30s pickup is a restored cargo box that remains unused and completely fresh.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VIII
Fri, 17 May 2013Now With More EcoBoost
There's an EcoBoost 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in there somewhere, and it's headed straight for Ugly Horse.
For the second time in my life, I'm staring at an engine in the back of a truck with no concept of how to get it safely into the garage by my lonesome. The first time this happened, I dragged home a $300 International 345 V8 in the back of my Scout Terra only to discover that the bounds of my manliness terminated well before my ability to muscle that 800-pound cast iron block out of the pickup bed.
Ford to show special edition Raptor on April 9
Mon, 01 Apr 2013There are precious few details, but what we do know is that Ford will be revealing images of "appearance upgrades" for a special-edition 2014 F-150 SVT Raptor on April 9. The slideshow will happen during a Motor Press Guild luncheon at Ford's Design Center Showroom in Irvine, California.
Without photos or further details, we're left to wonder about the extent of these changes, but aren't expecting anything too significant given the venue. Ford is understood to be revealing a next-generation F-150 with a big weight loss - as much as 700 pounds - for 2014, though it isn't yet clear if that's the truck's model year or simply its on-sale year. For at least a couple of years, Ford forums have been suggesting changes will come with the 2014 Raptor, so there could still be a bigger surprise in store. Either way, we'll know what all this means in a little more than a week. The press release below has the official details, but for the moment, we'll content ourselves by ogling the 2013 model above.
Ford spotted testing new Focus RS at the Nurburgring
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford is expected to be launching a revised version of the Focus ST soon, but the latest snapshots from our spy photographers at the Nürburgring suggest that the Blue Oval is already working on an even more potent example: the new Focus RS.
Though the partially disguised test mule is wearing an ST badge (along with a Dewey sticker that makes us wonder what adventures Huey and Louie are up to and what manner of duck-tail rear spoiler they may be wearing), there are several tell-tale signs that something else is afoot here. There's a larger front air dam, bigger brake calipers, dual exhaust tips (instead of the central exhaust on the ST) and a reshaped wing protruding from the trailing edge of the roof.
That may all be well and fine, but what's under the hood? We don't know yet for sure, but word has it that Ford is preparing to port over the 2.3-liter turbo four offered in the new Mustang, where it packs 305 horsepower and almost as much torque - potentially retuned to produce even more for the top-of-the-line Focus, which could channel it all to the front wheels like the last model or pack an all-wheel drive system. The Global C platform on which the Focus is based does, after all, also underpin AWD models like the Ford Escape and Lincoln MKC.
