THE IDEA BEHIND THIS BUILD WAS TO CREATE A MILD CUSTOM MUSCLE TRUCK WITH THE CLASSIC BODY STYLE OF AN ORIGINAL FORD F-100, BUT WITH ALL NEW TECHNOLOGY AND MODERN PERFORMANCE!
SEATTLE ROADSTER SHOW FIRST PLACE MILD CUSTOM TRUCK AND OUTSTANDING CHASSIS TRUCK
FEATURED IN CUSTOM CLASSIC TRUCK MAGAZINE “BUILT FORD TOUGH WITH CHEVY STUFF” This 1956 Ford F-100 mild custom pro-street hot rod started as a rust free California one owner truck. It took five years to customize it at a cost of more than $200K (receipts). The cab, seat, fenders, hood, doors, tail gate, bumpers, frame etc. are all original. It is a drop dead gorgeous show truck that you can enjoy at any car show or as an awesome street machine. You will not be disappointed. Here are the build details: ENGINE AND RELATED: The engine build started with a Chevrolet 400 block type #511 with 4-bolt mains. It was completely re-built at .0040-over with Keith Black dished (22cc) pistons, Seal Power Moly .040 rings, Eagle #5.700 Carrillo style "H-beam" rods, Crane steel billet roller competition cam #12-212-2 & lifters, Edelbrock Performer" 6073 Aluminum heads milled 70cc' s, surfaced, ported, polished & steam holes drilled to match block w 1014 "Felpro" head gaskets, Edelbrock intake manifold (#7101), Holly 750 "Double Pumper”, Edelbrock high performance fuel pump, B&M "144" Supercharger, MSD ignition 8360, Fluid dampener, Edelbrock polished water pump with cast iron impeller, Flywheel flex plate (.20 thick), Milodon low profile Transmission Pan 30900, and "Gold Irridite" 6 qt. oil pan. The block was ground smooth and painted gray to match the frame. The engine is rated at 411 cu. inches producing 545 HP. The engine build was performed by Dudder Machine Shop in Bellevue, WA. The transmission is a race prepped 700 R-4 built at Lake Washington Technical Institute with a 4th gear over-drive and a GM Special Order 2800 RPM torque converter. A transmission oil cooler is mounted under the cab. The rear differential is a Ford 9” with disc brakes that came from a Lincoln. It was completely rebuilt with new bearings and seals ground smooth, powder coated and painted gray to match the frame. The gears are Richmond 4.11 ratio. The wheels are by Centerline 16", 8" wide front & 9" wide rear with Goodrich 255/50 tires. FRAME AND SUSPENSION: The frame is based on the original 1956 Ford F-100 frame with zero rust. The frame rails are boxed with tubular cross members replacing factory cross members. Un-necessary holes are filled, rivets ground out and factory burrs ground smooth. A Camaro Z28 (Gen II) front clip is blended in to the boxed F-100 frame. The power steering box, Ididit tilt column, power disc brakes with Wilwood disc brake adjustable proportioning valve were installed during the frame build. The front suspension is installed using Fat Man A-arms, new Eibach RR coils, and GM high performance shocks. The rear suspension consists of high performance shocks, custom leaf springs, hangers, and perches from Southwest Spring. The frame, front and rear suspension, and steering link components were sandblasted, cleaned, powder coated and painted gray. The frame and suspension modifications were performed by Hot Rod Fabrication (HRF) in Auburn, Washington, one of the top 5 builders in the country. BODY AND PAINT: After completing the frame and suspension work HRF performed a complete mock-up assembly of frame and body parts to check and align all components and body seams. The body was disassembled and various parts sent to Northwest Powder Coating. When these parts are returned, the 2nd re-assembly is commenced. The cab is back on the frame, doors hung and aligned, front end, fenders and bed installed. Fenders tightened, hood alignment and fit checked, cowl seal added and a final inspection to check and align all seams performed. The bed oak is trimmed, fit and counter sunk and fit with bed stainless trim pieces. The individual body pieces are disassembled again by HRF and sent to Byers Custom Restoration in Auburn, WA for prep and paint. Individual parts get rough in filler work and block sanding with 120 grit and 150 grit. Parts are primed and 400 grit wet sanded and DBC-5096-2000 Toreador Red Clearcoat Metallic and Urethane clear are applied. Color wet sanding with 600, 1000 & 1500 grit are completed and polished with a 3M product. The individual body pieces are sent back to HRF and re-assembled on the powder coated frame for a final time. Front fenders, hood, bumper and lights are installed. Truck goes to the glass shop where new rubber, glass (rear window is original and windshield is now new) and polished stainless trim are installed. United Speedometer upgraded the original instrument cluster, changing the speedo to 120 mph from 90 mph and changed the four idiot lights to small gauges. The wiring system, additional gauges, brake lines, gas tank and coolant plumbing are all installed. Engine, torque converter, transmission and exhaust are installed. Suspension, steering, brakes, radiator, A/C, and sound deadening to cab, firewall, roof, back wall and floor is added. A custom fuel tank was installed in the cab behind the seat with a custom fuel door. Power windows are added. An Optima battery is installed under the cab adjacent to the frame for easy access. A Ron Davis custom aluminum radiator and fan shroud, Vintage A/C and heat, power steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes are installed. HRF fabricated custom headers and 3" exhaust system using Flowmaster 3-stage mufflers are added. The exhaust system is coated to prevent rust. Bed boards are sanded, stained (Minwax Vermont Maple) and sprayed with clear resin to fill wood grain, first application. Clear resin is sanded with 150-240 grit and prepared for second application. Boards are then sprayed with urethane clear coat, wet sanded and polished. Upholstery: HRF sends the truck to Jon (Yan) Lind in Eugene, OR for upholstery. The original vinyl bench seat frame with zero rust is cleaned and coated. The seat is recovered in white on white high quality vinyl in rolls and pleats smaller than normal with the appearance of 50's & 60's Tijuana style hand stuffed pleats. The open area around the bottom of the seat is covered with an upholstered skirt or valance that still allows access to the battery shut-off switch and the seat adjustment lever. Two standard white seat belts are installed. A fiberglass headliner covered in the same white on white vinyl is added. White on white visors with brackets painted to match the cab are installed. Door panels have a simple design of pleats that also looks right with the door closed. They have a standard handle to open door and have an integrated arm rest to use to close the door so the handle doesn't get pulled off. The door panel design is extended to kick panels with speakers hidden in them. Red quality carpet to compliment the paint with two mats is installed and a shelf behind the seat over the gas tank is fabricated to mount the fire extinguisher, and carpeted in same red carpet as floor. Red vinyl matching approximately the truck and carpet are used for the shifter boot, tail gate chain covers and the spare tire cover. Spare is the same size as the front tires. A white on white steering wheel to match the seat is added. The original chrome speaker box is mounted in its original location (no speaker but wired in case) in the front of cab and courtesy light is installed in back of cab in the headliner. The sale of the truck includes a nice display sign as shown in photo, a large display plaque commemorating the Seattle Roadster Show First Place Award and Outstanding Chassis Award, a large display plaque commemorating the truck being featured in Custom Classic Trucks magazine, several copies of the magazine, a file binder with every receipt for the $200,000 plus restoration, a 3-ring notebook with a complete history of the truck and restoration photos, and a full car cover.

Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
