Up for auction is a very cool 1963 Ford F100. I own a Custom Car/ Restoration shop in Texas, and this is my personal truck. The truck was built from the ground up, starting with a fully modified and air bagged chassis. Mustang II front end with tubular upper/lower control arms, air bags, Unisteer manual rack, boxed and raised front frame rails. Rear suspension is 2x4 rectangular from the cab back, with a traditional 4 link setup with bags and a panhard bar. Ford 9" rear end with 3.90 gears. Chassis is completely painted ceramic chassis black. The truck drives straight and rides nice at 4" of ride height down the highway at 80mph.
Engine is dressed to look like a Hi-Po 289 from a 1966 GT350 Mustang. Its a .030 over 302. Edelbrock aluminum heads, Crane cam, lifters, and roller chain. Performer RPM intake, Holley 4150 HP carb, Pertronix distributor and MSD coil. Tri-Y headers with Flowmaster Mufflers. Transmission is a Tremec TKO 5 speed. Clutch is a RAM diaphragm style.
The body of the truck is lazer straight. Bed has been raised 1" from stock, rear fenders were raised 2" from stock, fuel filler shaved, antenna hole removed, tailgate modified to read "FURD", cause I'm a redneck. The exterior is sprayed with Eastwood Rat Rod black. Interior and underhood are PPG base/ clear in Corvette Victory red. The truck is straight enough to be gloss black, but I like the satin look. The doors are hand lettered with One Shot. Most of the black underhood parts are powdercoated. Wheels are powdercoated. Tires are Coker bias ply's front and rear.
The truck was completely rewired front to back, ATO style fuse block with 20 circuits. The air ride system consists of 2 Viar compressors and 2 air tanks. The valves are SMC's. The entire system runs 3/8" lines.
This is a very dependable truck. We just recently ran half of the Hot Rod Power Tour with no problems. Runs good, drives good, doesn't overheat. No junk here, not a "Rat Rod" but a properly built traditional hot rod. I have tons of time and money invested into this truck, it's listed with a reasonable reserve. The truck would cost 3 times the amount to build.
Please contact me with any questions or for more pictures. Thanks for looking.

Peel and Ford Transit do a great Austin Powers impression
Tue, May 6 2014It's no secret that the average fullsize cargo van is big. Like, really big. Expressing that size, though, without actually seeing the van in question, is a pretty tall order. When viewed from the right angle, even something as big as a cargo van can appear very small (look up forced perspective, to see what we mean). That's why it's always good to have a second object on hand, to provide a sense of scale. Ford took this simple idea to the extreme, illustrating the size of the new Ford Transit by pulling the world's smallest production car, the Peel P50, nose first into the van's 487-cubic-foot cargo area. That's no big deal, though, right? After all, at just 54 inches long and 39 inches wide, the Peel would fit quite happily in even the smallest fullsize truck bed. Ford takes it a step further, though. With the help of an actual reverse gear (we're guessing this is a CVT-equipped, electric model), the P50 manages to turn itself around and drive out. It does this in less than two minutes. So yeah, the Ford Transit is a pretty big van. Take a look below for the video from Ford. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
Ford's Simple Suit Makes You Feel Like A Drunk Driver
Tue, Mar 25 2014We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
