1963 all original Ford F-100. Alright the boring but important stuff. Long story short this is a daily driver "if you don't mind driving an original 63 pickup around every day". With manual brakes and manual steering there is no talking on the cell phone or texting while driving. I have customized mildly mainly for looks and restored all drivetrain components. Here is the list.
Engine has been rebuilt .030 over, all new bearings, seals, gaskets, freeze plugs, carb, tune-up, custom fit plug wires, chrome single wire alternator, new battery, under hood mounted vacuum gauge. All engine work professionally done. Trans is a floor shift four speed which makes this a hard to find truck. Floor shift looks better and is better to drive, whoever really liked the three on a tree anyhow. Nothing but fluid change done to trans but no problems either, Front and rear wheel bearings new, all four drum brakes have been rebuilt with new wheel cylinders, and machined drums. Rear axle is a Ford 9" unsure of gears, with a 223 I-6 gears don't really matter you aint going too fast. that about does it for the drivetrain.
Interior is all new except paint, blue paint inside is original. Seat has been recovered in new vynil and then covered in a seat cover. no holes tears discoloration etc under seat cover. Gauge cluster is custom one off utilizing original speedo, fuel gauge, sunpro tach, oil psi, water temp. heat works, no a/c. blinkers, interior lights, high beams, basically it all works. Carpet is also new, and insulated underneath for sound and heat improvements.
Bed had the original wood until last week. In efforts of selling vehicle the bed is under construction but will be done by weeks end. Pictures of the new wood are just lying in bed, and the bed isn't sitting on the truck but be assured that the bed will be finished by weeks end with all new wood. Note didn't skimp on wood, wood is poplar, not oak but I like the grain better and poplar is a hardwood that should stand up just like oak.
The ins and outs, rear cab corners are rusted through and repaired prior to me very poorly. Fronts and rears of both rear fenders have rusted through spots. Frame has not been restored but is not rusted, only normal surface. All other areas have been repaired using welded in metal and very minimal bondo. Very solid truck, in fact good luck finding another like it.
Tires are in very good condition, wheels are also new though the center caps have corrosion. Basically if your interested you need to come see this truck.
Now that you have made it to the end of the list here is the really cool stuff. Due to this vehicle being slow yet I want it to be Hot Rod'ish I decided it needed a showstopper quality. This trucks quality is the ability to throw fire. There is a secondary ignition system in the exhaust that when activated causes the engine to misfire throwing fuel down the tailpipes and ignited by the plugs throws fire. the flames are anywhere from 2-5 ft, and last anywhere from 1-3 seconds each. Carb is too small to shoot constant flames, but it does very well.

2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood
Tue, 17 Jun 2014With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.
Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
