The 38' Special
Up
for bid today is a 1938 Ford truck project that I have been working on for a
few years now. I wanted to build a traditional Drag Racer/Gasser like they
would have built in the late 50s - early 60s. I started gathering parts and
building the truck and have a great start for somebody who is into the
nostalgia Drag race look.
Chassis-
The truck is built on a 37 Ford truck frame
with a 39-40 Ford front axle and brakes with split wishbones up front and a mid
60s Pontiac Posi-trac rear axle and ladder bars in the rear. Both front and
rear axles have the old school transverse leaf springs, still needs shocks
mounted front and rear. The rear axle is massive and has huge 12 inch brakes; a
15 inch wheel barely fits over them. It is also a posi unit as it has the tag
on the filler plug.
The frame still needs some finish work; I
would probably box the inner frame rails or at least reinforce them where the
wishbones and steering box mounts for added strength.
Brake components are all there, front and
rear, but need gone through. I am including a frame mount brake pedal and an
under dash setup that could work also.
Wheels up front are 15 inch early Ford with
New Coker bias ply - Rear wheels are 15inch GM steel with Vintage NOS Foremost AFX Drag slicks.
Motor/Trans-
The motor is a really nice 1950 Olds 303
that we took apart and it was really nice inside, looked like a low mileage
motor or had been rebuilt before it was parked. We put in all new gaskets, new
timing chain, new water pump, took the heads clear apart and lapped the valves
and put in new valve seals. Then we added a vintage 3 carb Edelbrock manifold, new
plug wires and test ran the motor on an engine stand and it ran great! It is
only running off the center carb, it will need linkage and all that. The valve
covers on this motor are white porcelain coated which is really cool, not sure
if that was a factory thing or if somebody had it done, but I have never seen
that before.
Also comes with custom built headers that
need a little finish welding.
The transmission setup is a conversion in
progress going from automatic to manual. I found a Cadillac manual bellhousing which
bolts right up to the Olds motor and I have a vintage Schaffer Aluminum
flywheel but it still needs some work to get everything to work together, we
machined a little off the bellhousing but it is still a little too deep and
will require a longer throwout bearing or you can save yourself the trouble and
just buy the aftermarket bellhousing from Bendetson and be done with it. I
think it's about 400 bucks, then you can bolt any Chevy manual trannny on you
want. Currently we have a 57 Chev manual three speed on it.
Body-
The cab is a 38 Ford that has been chopped
and we also channeled the floor a couple inches so it sits down over the frame
a bit more. Perimeter of cab floor has been reinforced with box tubing but the
sheet metal work still needs done. The cab itself is really pretty decent, just
a little rust coming through on the bottom of the passenger door. We have the
glove box door and back window garnish molding that needs to be chopped still
as well as a really nice windshield frame that will need cut down as well.
Truck also comes with a nice 36 Ford truck
grille and an original 38 Ford truck hood - what I wanted to do was fit the
front of the 38 Ford hood to the 36 Ford grille and cut a hole in the hood for
the air cleaners to poke through. It would look bitchin' if you wanted a hood
on it. A guy would still need to figure out a core support/radiator to mount
the grille to, might even be able to do a stock type radiator as well and mount
the grille that way.
The bed is a 36 I believe, we shortened
it about 8 inches, has the original Ford script tailgate and hinges.
Truck comes with a bunch of other vintage
parts as well including a full set of vintage Sun Gauges with a Stewart Warner
speedo, a vintage Fenton fuel block, 12 volt Generator, new 12 volt voltage
regulator, 36 Chev truck steering wheel, Old Ford headlights and a bunch of
other stuff, see pictures.
So if you are looking for a traditional Hot
rod project, here it is - still needs a lot of work such as floors, wiring and
all that, but an awesome start that looks right and has a lot of Vintage hard
to find parts.
Truck is Titled as a 37 Ford truck and comes
with a clear Washington state title. See pictures and Video and feel free to
ask questions. Buyer responsible for shipping/transport arrangements, we will help in any way we can - Payment of Cash in person or Cashiers check within 5 days of sale. Sold as is Happy Bidding!

As we reported earlier, the Chicago showing of this plucky Ford Fiesta ST GRC racer points to bigger and brighter days for Global RallyCross. For the upcoming season, you can expect to see Ken Block and Tanner Foust both driving the Ford racecar, and if last season's results are any indication, you can anticipate quite a few podium appearances, as well.
The Fiesta seen here was built by the Swedes at OlsbergsMSE, and will be driven in anger by Foust in 2013. Modifications are, as you'd expect, extensive, and include an engine, exhaust and braking upgrades, a racing style short-throw shifter and a limited-slip differential. As you can see, the car has been fully stripped out and caged for maximum speed and safety, too.
Refresh your memories with the details of the car, in the press releases below. And if you head out to the Chicago Auto Show this year, don't forget to drop by the Ford stand to have a look.

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
