This pickup could be your next daily driver.


What?  When I first built this pickup I drove it almost 100 miles daily.  It's been from my home in Longview WA to Santa Maria CA (West Coast Kustoms Cruisin Nationals) twice which is a 2000 mile round trip.  On long highway trips like that it gets 18-19 miles per gallon.  The pickup has been on the road since 2006 but was recently torn down for paint and to finish upholstery.

  • Wheels are 15" from a 1951 Plymouth.  Fronts are stock (4 1/2") and rears were widened 1/2".
  • Front tires (B.F. Goodrich Silvertown 6.00 X 15) are new.  Rear tires are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00 X 15 and are in great shape.
  • Engine was completely rebuilt.  Bored .040 over, heads ported, RV grind on cam from Hot Heads, balanced and stock compression.
  • Carburetors are Holley 94s from Vintage Speed.
  • Electronic ignition.
  • Aluminum radiator
  • T5 Camero 5 speed transmission.
  • Front disk brakes.
  • Cab was chopped 5" and A pillars were laid back to give it a Bonneville/lakester look.  Rear window wasn't chopped, just repositioned, floor was made from formed and fabricated 10 gauge steel.  
  • Exhaust is 2 1/4" out the back with glasspacks.
  • Steering box is original but completely rebuilt.  The old worm gear became the new shifter knob.
  • Original bed was shortened and new stake pockets added.
  • Bed cover was made from on old tin canopy.
  • Gas tank and Optima battery are in the bed.
  • Hood was pie cut to narrow the front; then nosed downwards to give the front end a nice rake.
  • Rodall Performance air cleaners.
  • All red upholstery is leather.  Some paint transfer from doors are on the side of the seat bottoms.
  • Ashtray is from a 1935 Ford (rotating ball with V8 symbol embossed on outside).
  • Original frame with VIN easily seen.  Makes licensing a lot easier.
  • Pin striped by John Harmon

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?" Check out our image gallery above and then let 'em know what you think in the Comments below.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.

Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
