Hi, your looking at a nice 1956 f100 Big window project that was started from the frame up, This isn't a show truck and my intention was to built a very nice hot rod truck and drive it.Unfortunaly, couldnt finish it due to no time . I'll try to best describe it since a lot has been done to it.

Frame: Boxed from radiator crossmember to rear shock crossmember using 3/16 metal. C-notched the rear with tube bars across for better support. Mustang 2 front end with new heavy duty motor mounts with polyurethane inserts, welded and smoothed. New: upper and lower tubular a arms, power rack and pinion, drilled n slotted rotors, 2" dropped spindles, calipers with brake hoses. 8.8 Ford Explorer rearend with 3.73 posi and new rotors. New 69-70 mustang gas tank in bed. Has 2' lowering blocks with new u bolts.Custm made tranny mount from 32' roaster. The front has no coilover or airbag setup since I haven't decided which I wanted but it's holded up using a  round tube pipe, easy to remove once jacked up.

Motor: 396 bored .040 over with forged crankshaft, new pistons, harmonic balancer, water pump, roller rockers, 049 heads, isky camshaft, etc..This motor came out of a 69 camaro and its freshly rebuilt with no miles. Th400 tranny with about 5k on rebuilt. New Griffen aluminum radiator,  

The body is really in nice shape. I got the cab from somebody that already had started on it and i never did anything to it. All 4 cab corners are solid and nice except for the rear passenger side which has few small dents..easy fix. None of them has been replaced, no rust. Floors are solid, rain gutters and top of cab is awesome. Someone had welded the cowl vent shut but not complete and mirrors door holes smoothed. Inner fender brackets is bend due to someone wanted a full tilt frontend but i have new ones to go with it. Has front and rear glass with stainless trim(all there with clips), needs polishing. Front fenders and rear fenders has been media blasted, front fenders almost done but rear fenders need some work but in nice shape. Has new Dan Carpenter bed with ends filled up n stake pockets filled for a nice clean look. Got a nice tailgate with little work to be done. New Dan Carpenter running boards. Hood is in very good shape. I have the metal crossbars for the bed.

New: front and rear bumper, grille with stainless turn signal housing, rear stainless brake lights, stainless tailgate hinges, have stainless latches but not on, front and rear windshield weatherstripping, door weatherstripping. The wheels are new wheel vintiques  with black powdercoated. New Coker whitewalls radial tires..

I'm sure im forgetting something since there's lots of new stuff on this truck. What you see in the pics is what you get. I have a bill of sale with it and the vin tag is on the door. I'm not responsible for this truck once it leaves my property. It is sold as it, where is with no written imperfections. You can come and see this truck in person if you like. Im not afraid to show it. Im a pretty picky person and want only the best for it but just not into show truck or cars. My plan was to paint it black or silver with red interior and drive it for fun.$500.00 deposit due at end of auction and paid in full in 7 days. Cashiers check or cash in person preferred. Once I get money in bank, truck is yours. Please email me with any questions. Good luck bidding..

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology

Tue, 20 Apr 2010

In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?

MyFord Touch getting buttons and knobs back to counter criticisms

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

Ford deserves credit for being a front-runner in offering advanced infotainment technology with its Sync and MyFord Touch systems, but continued consumer complaints over its confusing touchscreen interface and capacitive controls has made the automaker relent. The Wall Street Journal reports that physical buttons and knobs for controlling tuning and volume will be coming back to Ford vehicles equipped with the controversial infotainment system.
The 2013 F-150 with MyFord Touch gives us a glimpse of what the new layout with buttons and knobs might look like, as Ford says a similar balance of touch screen capability and buttons/knobs are what's being planned for future models. And, while capacitive controls have no fans in the halls of Autoblog, many of Ford's models with MyFord Touch do have a large physical knob for adjusting volume with integrated buttons for tuning and advancing tracks, though most of those are models with the optional upgraded Sony Audio system. Lincoln models with MyLincoln Touch, however, feature only capacitive controls for all stereo and climate functions.
Despite receiving enough complaints to throw buttons and knobs back into the mix (a move that reminds us of BMW's iDrive trajectory, among others), Ford reports that Sync and MyFord Touch have still been sold on 79 percent of its 2013 model year vehicles, a number it claims is double the rate that Honda and Toyota are getting for their infotainment systems. Ford also states that owners who do opt for the duo of technologies are more satisfied with overall vehicle quality than those who don't have it.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
