This is a RAT ROD!!!! NOT A $45,000 hot rod!!! please bid with this in mind.... however, this truck is awesome!!!
THE TRUCK: It's a 1947 Ford for cab with a ton of mismatched parts. The 30's bed is not straight in any kind of way, and it has 50's rear fenders. I got the fenders with some kind of metal work already done to them, and they are misshapen a bit. All metal body is almost completely rust free, and in great condition other than tons of dings, dents and patches. When I say it's in good condition, I am talking about the thickness and quality of the metal and deterioration...not the actual shape. I will say again....this is a RAT ROD!!! THE DRIVELINE: The motor is a 327 sbc, of course I was told it has a cam... I can only go on what it sounds like and what I've been told. It sounds awesome! Open straight pipes, Edelbrock performance intake manifold, HEI distributor, 8mm accel wires, electric fan, Holley carb, new water pump, new thermostat, and new various gaskets and seals. Overall, the motor is in great condition. The transmission is a th350 which is a 3 speed automatic. It has a new filter and new pan gasket and rear seal. Drive shaft is new with new universals and balanced. The front frame is from a Ford Ranger, and I believe the rear end is also. The rear frame is hand fabricated and the passenger side rail is the air tank for the air ride. AIR RIDE: The bags in the front are ss5 slam specialties, the rear I think are Connitech (not sure). I used a Viair 400 compressor with manual paddle valves. This is a slow setup as far as going up and down, however it is a very reliable setup. Manual valves means no frozen valves in the winter, and no electric issues. Viair 400s are, in my mind, the best compressor ever made. I used 1/4 dot airline, once again, very basic yet dependable. The rear suspension is a 2 link with cantilever. Front and rear both have shocks and ride very nice. I pride myself on my bag setups, and have done hundreds of them. THE WHEELS: The wheels right now are 20's from a past project, the tires have good tread on them. If you want, we can work something out, I have a set of white walls that the truck looks good on... it just wasn't the look I was going for. THE INTERIOR: Very bare bones. Just a handmade steering wheel and shifter, and a leather bench seat from a Toyota Sienna. It has an oil gauge and a temperature gauge. That's it. The ignition is a 200amp breaker style key. I always use them because they are very dependable. The cab lights on top do work, and there is a switch on the dash for them. OVERALL: Once again...this is a RAT ROD!!!! The headlights and tail lights work, but no turn signals. I use hand signals. The motor sounds amazing and the tranny shifts well. Cruises around 55/60 very nicely. I've had it over 75, but I don't like seeing rpms over 3,000. Has glass in both windows that is in fair condition, and front and rear glass are there.... I might have the front windows replaced before sale. They are cracked on one side of the glass and are hazzy due to age. ABOUT ME: I own a small Hot Rod/Rat Rod shop called VILLAGE CUSTOMS. Feel free to look up any of my shops work from the past. I have done dozens and dozens of cars and trucks, some with features in magazines. It is very easy to find any of my work on YouTube or Google. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TRY!!!!! I have done plenty of full custom builds, hundreds of bagged rides, and have had many many happy customers.

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
