What a great hot rod! I bought this 1931 Ford Model A Pickup truck about 3 years ago. And just have not driven it like I had planned so I’m selling it I purchased it out of Texas. This is not a camouflaged flat black hunk of junk rusty turd rat rod that was thrown together!!! This is a true hot rod stunner.

Although I didn’t do the work to it, it’s a newer build with less than 100 miles since the build was finished. The truck has a nice small block Chevy V8 and an automatic transmission, (looks like a turbo 350 to me, but not sure.) Lots of money spent on chrome. The frame has been boxed and channeled so it can handle the power of the Chevy engine. There’s no question this was a frame up restoration. It has Mustang II front suspension, custom built 4 link rear suspension, Front disc brakes and rear drums. It has new wheel Vintiques painted rally wheels with chrome centers and beauty rings. 15-10s in the rear and 14-7s in the front. The console and interior have been fabricated out of good ol all American steel, as opposed to glass. Lots and lots of hours and dollars have obviously been put into this build. If you have ever tried to build one of these things, you know how much work and $$$$$$$ it takes! (kinda like building a barbecue…don’t plan to build and eat on Father’s day!!) The truck is about 90% steel, with the front fenders being fiberglass. The truck has power brakes with the master cylinder and brake booster being under the floor (clean firewall!!!!). The wiring is all new with modern electronics, 12 volt alternator, and newer style fuse box.

The whole interior (dash, seats, carpet, and door panels), wheels, and tires are like new. The bed is gorgeous Oak with red metal accents and a custom wood box that houses the gas tank. With flat black paint with custom hand pin striping in cream and red, this truck pops. The pinstripes compliment the red interior nicely. A Tan soft top is included in this auction. I personally think it looks way cooler without it…and way more fun to drive. It is very easy for one person to take it on and off. Of course, no hot rod is complete without an “Oogah” horn. It’s stamped with a Ford Body number of A4700734. I know there’s a way to decode these but not sure how. (not my field of expertise)

There aren’t too many of these trucks around, and this one is a real head turner. Instead of wasting your summer on trying to build a hot rod, pick this up just in time for the show season!! The newer engine and transmission mean that it has a top speed over 46 mph… ha ha! (sorry flat head 4 cylinder) and it’s a pure joy to drive. Please don’t plan on flying in and driving to Maryland…the truck might make it but you won’t! These always need “tweaking” so plan to get it and adjust to your liking. I have driven this truck less than 20 miles in three years…hence I’m selling it. I have way too many hot rods and projects. The only things I have noticed, it may need to be serviced,(all fluids properly checked, as it has been sitting for a while) and I never have liked the shifter, I like to put Lokar shifters in all my hot rods. Texas clean title reads 1931 Ford PK. Don’t let this get away!!!!

Bodie Stroud seriously updates the 1956 Ford F-100 into the BSI X-100

Tue, Mar 24 2015

If you thought pickups could use a lot more love in the resto-mod world, then Bodie Stroud – he of "The Real Thing" Mustang Â– has something for you: the BSI X-100. His team starts with the body of a 1956 Ford F-100, but the sheetmetal is about all the nostalgia you're going to get; the body, tweaked with a chopped hood and a larger rear window on the cab, sits on a custom steel ladder-frame chassis. Out back is a one-piece, tubbed bed, and behind that are taillights from a 1948 (gasp!) Chevrolet. Under that hood is either a 412-horsepower, 5.0-liter Ford Racing Coyote crate engine, or a supercharged, 6.0-liter, 630-hp Ford Racing Aluminator motor, shifting through a Ford 4R70W four-speed automatic. Inside, the dash is reworked to fit gauges from a Ford F-150 King Ranch Edition, and the bench is swapped out for buckets from a Mustang GT. The independent front and four-link rear suspension are adjustable, helping to make room for staggered wheels - 19 inches in front, 20 inches in back, and larger can be accommodated. Six-piston Wilwood brakes handle the stopping. There's a lot of fabrication and hand-work involved, and it doesn't come cheap: BSI says the turnkey package starts at $180,000. If you've got it, this is an exceptional way to flaunt it. The press release below has all the details. THE BSI 1956 X-100: TIMELESS LINES, MODERN TECH New pickup from Bodie Stroud Industries melds the iconic style of the 1956 F-100 with a cutting-edge chassis and drivetrain to create a hand-built, all-new truck with the performance and reliability of a modern sports car. Sun Valley, Calif. (March, 2015) Â– In an era when anyone can walk into a dealership with good credit and a yearning to go fast and drive out in a 500+ horsepower sports car, owning and driving something truly unique has become a challenge. With that in mind, the craftsmen at Los Angeles-based Bodie Stroud Industries (BSI) have come up with something truly special Â– a brand new line of hand-built, turn-key pickups with the looks and sheet metal of an American icon, subtly massaged and fitted to a modern chassis and powered by the latest engine, transmission and electronics from Detroit. The result is the world's first all-new, turn-key 1956 Pickup: the BSI X-100. "When most people think about classic trucks, what comes to mind is usually the 1956 F-100, it's one of the most timeless designs of all time," says BSI founder Bodie Stroud.
