 1934 Ford Pickup rat rod, or traditional hot rod if you prefer. This truck is currently featured in Ol' Skool Rodz magazine #57, on news stands now. It has also been featured in Rebel Rodz magazine. It has been on the road one year and has approximately 1500 miles. It has a "Trucker" theme, with dual roof-mount horns, functional dual exhaust stacks, cab light turn signals, Mack bulldog cowl ornament, and Peterbilt shifter. It drives EXCELLENTLY, very fast and smooth, equally at home on the freeway as around town.

The cab is chopped 4 inches and channeled four inches. The box is shortened 23 inches and narrowed 8 inches. It has a custom-built 2x4 steel frame. Front suspension is a vintage Okie Adams 6-inch dropped I-beam axle, original Model A wishbones, and a new transverse leaf spring on a suicide perch. Rear suspension is a four-link with panhard bar, suspended by coilover shocks. The differential is a freshly rebuilt Ford 8-inch.
Steering is a Ford tractor wheel, through a unique chain drive into a Dodge pickup steering box; it is SMOOTH. Wheels are vintage Cragar SS with bias ply tires front and rear. The engine is a recently rebuilt Chevy 307 with a set of 305 heads for 10:1 compression. Induction is an Edelbrock Street Tunnel Ram with dual Holley 450 carbs. Exhaust is through custom headers with baffles, routed into dual stacks with integral Cherry Bomb mufflers. The transmission is a Borg Warner World Class T-5 five speed manual. Radiator is a new aluminum 3-row. It has a full set of new functional gauges: fuel, volt, tach, speedo, oil pressure, temperature. Gas tank is 15-gallon steel hidden under the box. Headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals all work as they should. The battery is easily accessible through a vintage Craftsman tool box in the bed.

The truck is very reliable and comfortable to drive. It starts instantly, runs super, and never overheats. I drive it every weekend the weather allows. It is not a show queen, although it has won its share of trophies. At only 2100 lbs gross weight, above 3000 rpm this car will make you wet your pants.
It has no side windows, no heater and no seat belts, no radio - no need for amenities; the car IS the entertainment.

Many YouTube videos are available of this truck driving (please note: all these vids feature the truck with tripower; that has since been changed to dual quads):

Project Ugly Horse: Part IX

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

One Step at a Time
Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another.
Chuck Schwynoch had been patiently listening to my ramblings on the other end of the phone for a solid half hour. I'm not too big of a man to know when to ask for help, and at this point, I desperately needed some assistance. The truth is, working on a machine like a Fox Body Mustang is as easy as breathing thanks to the wealth of information available on the web. Nearly every flavor of exotic driveline has been shoved into the ubiquitous Ford at some point or another, and odds are the sorry souls behind those builds shared the highs and lows of their torment with the internet community.

These Canadians somehow forgot how to drive in snow

Tue, Dec 6 2016

Montreal drivers experienced a slow-motion pileup on their streets this weeks thanks to the first snow fall of the season. According to the CBC, slippery conditions caused a small pileup involving cars, buses and even a street clearing vehicle. Onlookers in neighboring office buildings watched as vehicle after vehicle slid down Cote du Beaver Hall and crashed into the scrum of waiting cars. First there was a city bus, then a white Ford F-150 work truck loaded down with ladders, then another city bus came along and sandwiched the poor F-150. A Montreal Police Charger then came down the hill backwards, hit the bus in a slow, sad crash before it was crashed into by an out of control plow truck. Since its posting yesterday, the video of the crash has gone viral. Various other vehicles–a green-topped Scion delivery truck and a couple workaday sedans–were lucky enough to escape the pileup, but still suffered through a white-knuckled slippery descent down the hill. Colin Creado, who works nearby the crash site, told the CBC although it was pretty slippery, he was surprised at all the carnage since the storm was forecast well in advance. "You would have thought ... they would have salted the area or at least cordoned it off, because that road is pretty steep," he told the station.

Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver

Thu, Feb 12 2015

There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.
