For Sale my custom built 1955 Ford F100 truck is a short box "shot bed" custom built flat bed with vintage stake side box. This truck was Custom Built from the ground up! It was built to drive and enjoy and this truck drives and handles outstanding! It was also built to drive to the local car shows and win Trophy's and has WON many! People love this truck for sure and so should the new owner. Body removed from frame when restored. Frame cleaned and detailed very nice. Then a 1979 Chevy Nova " Full front end clip was installed on it. The front end was laser lined and jig when installed to the original 1955 Ford frame. This truck drives out and handles outstanding! It rides, handles and drives like a car and not an old truck. Truck has alot of custom options Power front Disc brakes and full front independent suspension it rides so nice and stops great. Truck will stop straight, no wheel pull or lane drift = Straight. I love the classic body style of the early mid 50 round fender Fords. But not a big fan of the older ford running gear or suspension back in 1955 also not a big fan of the older running gear. So everything under it was changed over to Chevy running gear, Motor, Transmission and the rear end all fresh Chevrolet. The motor in this truck was installed fresh total rebuild under 900 miles driven miles ago. The motor is a 30 over build using the good early 1970 era 350 cubic inch block. Motor is the good Chevy 4 bolt main motor and built to "350 HP" specs. ( very nice and strong running motor ) Built by machine and performance of So. Oregon for me for this truck. The motor was fitted into the Full front clip = 1979 Chevy Nova sub frame like a glove = SEE PHOTOS. Lot's more power and performance than a Ford 302 - 280 hp ford would of been. This chevy block is NOT the cheep o GM mexico block". used by the auto part stores. Motor fitted with aluminum intake -4 bbl carb with elect choke - Headers, Chrome 100 amp alt, Aluminum corvette valve covers - polished stainless belt pulleys - New vintage AIR - R134 A/C unit with chrome compressor under the hood also just installed. The A/C in this truck blows "30 deg" in the cab " NICE and COLD " for sure. The inside cab of this truck was also finished in DYNAMATT sound deadener in restoration $600 in sound deadner alone. = SEE PHOTOS. The radiator is the big four core and also rebuilt at the same time new motor was installed . The truck was build to drive everyday if needed and built to be very reliable. This is a turn key and go truck! Two elect cooling fans and a hard mount flex fan keeps it running nice and cool. It gets 110 and 120 deg in the desert - so it must run cool at all times with A/C on! No heat issue - No leaks under this truck. You can park this truck inside your house on the carpet if you see fit! My wife makes me keep it in the garage ha -ha. This 1955 was built to look vintage cool and be One of One = not like all others you see. You won't find another 1955 Ford like it on this planet! My son did the custom 66 door logos for me with speed shop logo on doors. Looks cool people love the look of this truck! This vintage Logo on the doors will fit any owner, just a very classic vintage "hand painted" logo on the door. The truck was painted raven gloss black a few years 2010 when the restoration started and truck has been driven on nice weather days as it should be. The Paint is still very nice, and very high gloss looks wet! Truck will win trophys as it sits for sale today =SEE PHOTOS of paint and body. Truck was not built to be a national show truck you push in and out of a trailer with white gloves on. This truck was built to drive and enjoy and trophy at car shows. It will turn every head in town, driving in it or just parked on the street. If truck was any cleaner or nicer you would not want to drive it and get it dirty! Truck is garaged kept in a Heated - A/C garage. New custom dash gauge cluster in cab , New heat A/C unit also installed from" Vintage Air" and the A/C blows 30 deg on high setting. Chrome tach on dash with shift light. The cab dash also custom pin striped in blue same as truck keeping with the vintage hot rod look. New sound system with new speakers two 6 by 9 in door and two 4 inch in over head pod and it sounds great! The truck also has hands free PHONE in stereo like a new car. New door locks, Tinted side and rear window glass - not the film "real tinted glass".

Very nice it has 29 total gas of gas for long road trips if needed and the rear gas tank looks vintage cool. It also has a vintage 2 gal moon recovery tank on the front of truck -SEE PHOTOS it is used for radiator over flow. I am 59 years and have owned and built many vintage classic hot rods and street rods over the past 35 years and this one was done old school build to look vintage late 1950 early 60 and built to have a vintage hot rod service truck look. Looks mid 50 correct - But truck was updated to drive and enjoy like a newer car or truck. Truck fitted with Power Disc brakes - Power Steering -. Turbo 350 Automatic transmission, B@M floor shift box . Chevy 10 bolt rear end fitted with 270 butt gears so it can run the Interstate or Highways all day long at freeway speeds. That's rare ! Then to top it off new A/C " AIR" that works outstanding. It's the best of many worlds. You get the older classic 1955 Ford with performance Chevy running gear and then it rides and drives like a newer car. Truck is turn key ready to Show and Go as it sits for sale today. Not a project in the works like most of them you will find. NO RUST - NO ROT - NO LEAKS - Truck detailed nice - frame detailed nice = SEE PHOTOS !

Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!
Thu, 18 Jul 2013What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.
Lincoln trumpets $129M investment, 300 new jobs in Louisville for MKC
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Remember when we used to talk about how close Lincoln was to being axed and how it seemed any day now the Grim Reaper would use it as a car service back to the grave? Last time we did it was, oh, not even a month ago. What a difference 27 days makes: Ford and Lincoln are trumpeting a $129M investment in the Louisville Assembly Plant that builds the MKC.
In July the MKC was the third-best-selling Lincoln of the brand's six offerings, beat by the MKZ and - by a much smaller margin - the MKX. It has sold 2,895 units in the two months it's been on sale, which is more than half the year-to-date sales of the MKS, MKT and Navigator. It's already important, is what we're trying to say, and this is before the Chinese market gets a crack at it later this year.
The money headed to Kentucky will be joined by 300 new workers, another marker in Ford's march to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the US by next year. You can read more about it in the press release below.
