This is a running and driving, 1947 Ford Pickup . This One of a kind truck was designed originally for a member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and as you can see from the flyers, and stickers and autographed hub caps has been to many a concert and show. I also have the original cab visor, it's in last picture. Just drove her around lake then took pics, so that's what she looks like after weekend of cruising and rewiring it. Could of washed her, but anyone can post a pretty pic, these are real pics for a real Ratrod cruiser.

4.) Interior completely covered in sound proof / heat shield
5.) Original seat mounts rebuilt
6.) BEd Rebuilt with 2" tubing
7.) Pioneer CD player JBL speakers
8.) Good tires
9.) fresh brakes
10.) 36 inch Ludwig bass drum for fenders
11.) Zildjian Cymbals for hub Caps
12.) The cymbal bag holds the x tire iron
13.) Original G Series Flathead

The bed wood cross member supports are rebuilt along with the bed with 2" tubing, and solid so someone could replace them if they decided to take it from RatRod to show truck.

This is a simple Ratrod, insulated, rewired, and garage kept from day one! There are no dents and dings in this truck, in my opinion the most solid 1947 I've seen in years. Oh and yes and a complete underdash A/C can be purchased on Ebay for 500.00. Although I've had no problems with the window down and arm out.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Nuclear-powered concept cars from the Atomic Age

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

In the 1950s and early 60s, the dawn of nuclear power was supposed to lead to a limitless consumer culture, a world of flying cars and autonomous kitchens all powered by clean energy. In Europe, it offered the then-limping continent a cheap, inexhaustible supply of power after years of rationing and infrastructure damage brought on by two World Wars.
The development of nuclear-powered submarines and ships during the 1940s and 50s led car designers to begin conceptualizing atomic vehicles. Fueled by a consistent reaction, these cars would theoretically produce no harmful byproducts and rarely need to refuel. Combining these vehicles with the new interstate system presented amazing potential for American mobility.
But the fantasy soon faded. There were just too many problems with the realities of nuclear power. For starters, the powerplant would be too small to attain a reaction unless the car contained weapons-grade atomic materials. Doing so would mean every fender-bender could result in a minor nuclear holocaust. Additionally, many of the designers assumed a lightweight shielding material or even forcefields would eventually be invented (they still haven't) to protect passengers from harmful radiation. Analyses of the atomic car concept at the time determined that a 50-ton lead barrier would be necessary to prevent exposure.
