1951 Ford Pickup Rat Rod on 2040-cars
Milford, Michigan, United States
|
Up for sale is a true steel body 1951 Ford pickup rat rod. Many modifications and upgrades as listed below. The rat rod is titled and has been insured/registered over the last few years and always grabs a lot of attention going down the road. Complete functioning drivetrain includes a Pontiac 455 CID motor (out of a 1973 GTO with 1974 cylinder heads) with edlebrock aluminum intake, edlebrock carburetor and vintage hood scoop. Strong V8 sound through the headers and mufflers. Engine starts at the turn of the key. Powered by an automatic turbo 400 transmission controlled by a Hurst shifter and connecting to a 12 bolt rear end. Cooled by an aluminum radiator and electric cooling fan. Front disc breaks / rear drum brakes. Power steering and upgraded front A arm front suspension with a low stance - a must for any rat rod. Interior is a basic bench seat with two seat belts that is comfortable to sit in and drive for me at 6’ tall. Room for somebody even taller or an easy modification to move the bench seat or just adjust the tilt steering column for a closer reach. Gauges include tachometer, oil pressure, water temperature and voltage – all the engine criticals. Door windows move by cranks on the interior door panel but function poorly. Easily moved up and down by hand as an alternative. Crack in the driver’s side door window and passenger’s side door vent window but have been this way for years. Keyed ignition and toggle switch for headlights/taillights/gauge lights and cooling fan are confirmed to function as seen in the pics. This rat rod has been a real head turner any time I’ve been out in it. This has been in my family as it was my uncle’s until this year and I’ll be sad to see it go. We’ve had it out in many classic cruises over the years – a lot of fun to drive. I hope the pictures can display how much of a one of a kind ride this is – please contact me with any other questions and I’ll do my best to provide you as much detail as I can. Thanks for your interest. |

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?
Thu, 15 Nov 2012Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum
Mon, 27 Jan 2014With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
Ford gives S-Max the Vignale treatment in Milan
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has a bit of a history in reviving the names of old coachbuilders it has long since gobbled up and using them to distinguish its top-of-the-line models in Europe. That's what it did for years with Ghia, and after having replaced it several years ago with the Titanium trim level, now it's doing it again with Vignale.
At the Frankfurt Motor Show last year, Ford revealed the Mondeo Vignale concept in both sedan and wagon body-styles, which are set to reach production next year. But before they do, the Blue Oval automaker is at it again, applying similar upgrades to the S-Max minivan and unveiling it in concept form in Milan this week.
Setting the Vignale concept apart from any other S-Max is its Milano Grigio rose-hued silver pearlescent paint, 21-inch alloys, chrome trim and hexagonal-pattern grille. Inside it's all ultra-soft quilted leather and aluminum trim, with tablet docking stations in the back and thinner, more flexible seats than the existing production version.
