This pickup could be your next daily driver.


What?  When I first built this pickup I drove it almost 100 miles daily.  It's been from my home in Longview WA to Santa Maria CA (West Coast Kustoms Cruisin Nationals) twice which is a 2000 mile round trip.  On long highway trips like that it gets 18-19 miles per gallon.  The pickup has been on the road since 2006 but was recently torn down for paint and to finish upholstery.

  • Wheels are 15" from a 1951 Plymouth.  Fronts are stock (4 1/2") and rears were widened 1/2".
  • Front tires (B.F. Goodrich Silvertown 6.00 X 15) are new.  Rear tires are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00 X 15 and are in great shape.
  • Engine was completely rebuilt.  Bored .040 over, heads ported, RV grind on cam from Hot Heads, balanced and stock compression.
  • Carburetors are Holley 94s from Vintage Speed.
  • Electronic ignition.
  • Aluminum radiator
  • T5 Camero 5 speed transmission.
  • Front disk brakes.
  • Cab was chopped 5" and A pillars were laid back to give it a Bonneville/lakester look.  Rear window wasn't chopped, just repositioned, floor was made from formed and fabricated 10 gauge steel.  
  • Exhaust is 2 1/4" out the back with glasspacks.
  • Steering box is original but completely rebuilt.  The old worm gear became the new shifter knob.
  • Original bed was shortened and new stake pockets added.
  • Bed cover was made from on old tin canopy.
  • Gas tank and Optima battery are in the bed.
  • Hood was pie cut to narrow the front; then nosed downwards to give the front end a nice rake.
  • Rodall Performance air cleaners.
  • All red upholstery is leather.  Some paint transfer from doors are on the side of the seat bottoms.
  • Ashtray is from a 1935 Ford (rotating ball with V8 symbol embossed on outside).
  • Original frame with VIN easily seen.  Makes licensing a lot easier.
  • Pin striped by John Harmon

2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volvo XC40 Recharge score high in IIHS tests

Thu, Apr 22 2021

New electric cars continue their streak of impressive crash test results. The two latest to go through Insurance Institute for Highway Safety testing are the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E and the 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge. The former earned a Top Safety Pick award, and the latter picked up the Top Safety Pick+ commendation. Both vehicles got the top "Good" rating in every crash test, as well as the "Superior" rating for vehicle-to-vehicle collision prevention. They deviate when it comes to headlights and vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention. Because the Volvo has headlights rated "Good" on all trims, it got that extra "+" on its Top Safety Pick award. The Ford also has high-rated headlights available, but the standard units got the second lowest rating of "Marginal." As for the vehicle-to-pedestrian collision prevention, the Volvo received the second-highest "Advanced" rating, while the Ford was rated "Superior." Among the electric cars IIHS has tested, the Ford and Volvo continue a streak of high scores. The organization has evaluated the Audi E-Tron in both its body styles, as well as the Tesla Model 3, both of which get the Top Safety Pick+ rating. As a result of the XC40 Recharge's test score, Volvo pointed out that it is the only automaker whose entire lineup has received a Top Safety Pick+ rating.

Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
