My 1952 Ford Pickup Street Rod is an awesome combination of Retro Looks match with Today's Performance Standards.

It's Amazing.

Ok, let's get into some specifics. The truck is "motorvated" ...moved by a Mr. Goodwrench Crate 350 (5.7) V8 along

with a new GM 350 Automatic Transmission. Of course the engine and transmission have been "beefed" up to provide this gorgeous truck with a little more performance than what a stock 350 setup provides. It looks great, sounds great, and performs great as well.

There's about 5000 miles on the truck since completion.

And the radiator is a high performance unit to accommodate the V8 and great Vintage Air Conditioning in the truck.

A lot of innovation went into the building of this fabulous 1952 Ford Pickup Street Rod.

Did you notice the grille?

Look directly below and see if you can

figure out what's different about it. Most people can't.

Of course, the chrome speaks for itself. Most stock 1952 Ford Pickups had the grilles painted white or gray.

But look a little harder. Notice anything?

The stock 1952 Ford pickup had 3 vertical "teeth" in the grile. THIS ONE HAS 5.

Isn't that cool?

This was an expensive modification to complete but this beautiful truck deserves the love and attention it got.

Now here's another fun and totally cool thing to consider.

Look at the cab from the side. Notice anything?

You probably don't but the cab was "chopped" 2" , meaning that this cab is 2" shorter than a stock cab.

This doesn't effect your comfort at all as there is plenty of headroom.

But it looks soooooooooo good....don't ya think?

The pictures were taking on my cellphone and don't do this amazing truck justice. The paint is actually quite metallic and

it literally grabs your eyes when the sun is shining.

Looks great.

The interior is exceptionally nice and like I mentioned, it has a great Vintage Air Conditioner/Heat Unit that keeps the cab comfortable

during all times of the year.

And check out that awesome chrome tilt steering column......NICE.

It has the original gauges to retain the nostalgic look but also has a nice set of modern gauges directly to the right.

Looks totally cool.

Oh, did I mention it has electric windows and a great stereo? Well, it does.

Oh, let me also mention that in the past this truck was used for advertising State Farm Insurance Companies.

Check out the license plate on the truck. If you sound it out, it says 1 GOOD NEIGHBOR. Speaks for itself.

The only reason I am selling my beautiful truck is I have the "itch" for a really nice trike such as a Boss Hoss Trike, or a Victory Vision Trike, or a Harley Ultra Trike or some similar really nice trike.

Other than this "itch" of mine, I would not be selling my truck.

Ok, some details about the auction.

I will not sell to foreign buyers but I will work with buyers from Canada and Mexico.

I will not ship but will cooperate with the shipper of your choice or you can fly into the El Paso, TX International airport where I will pick you up and you can drive it home. And it will be a great ride.

Bidders with a 5 or less feedback rating need to call me first at 915-276-1505

to discuss how you would pay, etc or your bid(s) can and probably will be removed without notice.

I reserve the right to remove the auction at anytime as the truck is advertised elsewhere as well.

However, if the auction meets the reserve, I will complete the sale on eBay regardless of any other outside offers I may get.

If payment is made with any kind of check, the truck and title will not be released until the check has had sufficient time to clear my bank.

Or you can deposit the money directly into my Wells Fargo account.

Thanks for looking at my truck

I have been asked what type of front end the truck has and I apologize for the oversight. It has a Mustang II front end with power disc brakes. Handles and stops real nice

Jay Leno takes a Surfin' Safari in a 1937 Ford Woodie Restomod

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Woodie wagons were a major part of surfing culture in the 1960s, offering coastal style and a ton of room, and they even earned a mention in the Beach Boys' classic song Surfin' Safari. This week, Jay Leno's Garage takes a look at two modern, restomodded examples of these style icons.
Unlike a lot of restomods, builder Scott Bonowski keeps these wagons looking almost completely stock on the outside, and all of the upgrades are hidden underneath the timber. You can't tell by looking at it, but the '37 Woodie (pictured above) has independent front and rear suspension, disc brakes and a Ford 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.
Beyond the mechanical aspect, the craftsmanship into the wood is astounding. Bonowski claims there are between 30 and 50 coats of varnish on this wagon. It makes these woodies as much of a piece of fine furniture as a vehicle to drive.

TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles

Wed, Jan 15 2014

We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.

Detroit Three automakers and UAW will continue to require masks

Thu, Jun 10 2021

GM CEO Mary Barra at a Warren, Mich., training center in September. (Reuters) Â WASHINGTON — Detroit's Big Three automakers and the United Auto Workers (UAW) union said on Wednesday that workers will continue to be required to wear masks in workplaces. The joint statement from the UAW and General Motors, Ford and Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV said it was continuing the requirements "out of an abundance of caution." The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in May that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear masks in most instances, including at work. The UAW and the automakers said temperature screening upon entering facilities is expected to be phased out. The UAW and automakers continue to recommend autoworkers get vaccinated. Many U.S. employers are still requiring vaccinated workers to wear masks in workplaces. Volkswagen AG's U.S. unit said it will "no longer require masks for fully vaccinated employees after June 21, and will continue to follow CDC guidelines." Toyota is among the automakers that has ended temperature checks and entry questionnaires at U.S. plants but it is continuing to require facial coverings. Honda and Nissan said they had made no changes to their U.S. employee COVID-19 requirements. Â Plants/Manufacturing Chrysler Dodge Ford GM Jeep RAM Safety coronavirus
