1953 Ford F100 Custom 4 Door Truck on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
Just Toys Classic Cars is Extremely proud to present one of the coolest trucks that you are ever going to see in your lifetime. Before you is a 1953 Ford F100 4 Door 4x4 Custom Truck. Now, we know what you are saying, Ford never made a 4 door truck in 1953. You would be correct in your statement. The owner that came up with this idea was struggling to come up with a way to keep his two door truck at the time that he had purchased from his little league baseball coach. He had fond memories of riding in the back of it to baseball practice when he was a kid. So when the opportunity came about, he purchased it from his old coach for $50. That's right folks $50. Now that you have the back story, let's get into the details. This Blue Angle of a 1953 Ford F100 rides on a 1983 Ford F150 Big Block Chassis. This truck originally had a 400 in it, but later came the current mill under the hood. Now resides a 460 with Cobra Jet heads and 11:1 Compression. All of this is matted to a C6 transmission with a shift kit and a 2500 Stall Converter for good towing. The transfer case as well as the front and rear differential were left stock. Speaking of stock, the owner wanted to keep as many things original as he could. He didn't want to make this a resto mod truck. He wanted to make it as if Ford built it, this is what they would do. The process took 3 cabs and 6 doors to make what you see here. The body and bed were widened to fit on the frame but the hood and the grill are still stock size. In order to start this truck you still turn the key and press the starter button and listen to that 460 come to life. If you need to pull the E-Brake you do it the old fashioned way by the original handle from 1953. This truck has dual tanks with hidden openers and the tank switch is on the drivers side floor just like the original. A third brake light was installed for safety as well. The fenders were widened in order to fit the larger tires, but these are not cheap fiberglass fenders. Again, this truck was built as if Ford did it in 1953. The amount of man hours that went into this truck is immeasurable. The bed was made wider and a tailgate was made for this truck as well. As you will see in the pics there is a class three hitch so you can tow with this truck as well. The seats are out of a 2003 F150, the moonroof is out of an 83 Eldorado, and there is just custom stuff everywhere. This truck speaks for itself. You just have to see it for yourself to believe it. We could go on and on with everything that is done to make this 1953 Ford F100 truck the coolest thing on the planet that you could drive anywhere you want any day of the week. Give us a call today and let's talk about you taking this truck home. We have financing available for those that would like to take advantage of the option. We look forward to speaking with you soon and making you the newest member of the Just Toys Classic Cars Family. |

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India
Wed, Dec 2 2015Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
