35 Ford Hot Rod Rat Rod Pick Up Truck Chopped And Channeled Sbc Th350 on 2040-cars

Mission Viejo, California, United States

Up for sale is my '35 Ford Rat Rod truck. The body is all steel with a hand fabricated bed, all of the cab, hood, grill and radiator shell are original parts from this Washington state farm truck. The body has been chopped and channeled about 5" and the frame has been stretched about 6". That said, the truck is well sorted mechanically and drives very well, longer trips are not an issue. Windshield is fixed mounted with a functioning windshield wiper.
Drive train consists of a 355" SBC, stock rebuild with an HEI distributor and 650 Edelbrock carb. Trans is a TH350 with a Ford 8" rear and Torque Thrust II wheels.
Suspension is a dropped front end on coil-overs front and rear. Disk brakes on the front and drums rear. The bed interior is finished in wood, not the pretiest but it works fine, has a 12 gallon fuel cell and a taneu cover. The hood and two-piece hinged taneu both operate with hidden latch pulls.
Interior is pretty spartan, original dash with aluminum insert and aluminum door panels, Mustang II seats and Camaro steering column, CD player in the glove box with speaker boxes behind the seats, and some dynamat to cover the sheetmetal. All windows are good but it does need a new drivers side regulator, maybe $60. The window goes up and down but the regulator is stripped so the window will drop by gravity. I just leave it down.
Overall the truck is in very good shape, absolutely no rust, and straight body. The paint is garage sprayed with some imperfections, but looks good. Truck runs well, although the trans and diff have a leak and the SBC pushes some oil past two cyclinders. Looks like a simple valve seal so should be minor.
Truck is titled in California with a legit VIN number. Please ask all questions before bidding

Ford cranks up '32 Ford body production

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

If you're going to build your own hot rod, you'll want to start with a '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe. Favored by American servicemen returning from World War II, the '32 Ford remains the very icon of the hot rod to this day. The trouble is there were only so many of them made in the first place, and finding one today can be a challenge. That's where reproduction models come in.
The aftermarket is replete with companies that will sell you a fiberglass body in the form of a '32 Ford coupe, but quality can be hit or miss. So to help meet demand among hot rod builders and enthusiasts, Ford has teamed up with United Pacific Industries to offer officially licensed body shells.
Announced at the SEMA show in November, the '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe body is made from stamped steel according to original specifications from original machinery where possible or reproduced machinery built to the same original specifications where necessary. The bodies are ready to accept vintage powertrains or crate motors from the Ford Racing catalog, and join the 9,000 other parts offered in the Ford Component Sales catalog - including similar reproduction bodies available for the 1965-70 Mustang and 1940 Ford Coupe. From there, the proverbial sky's the limit.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
