I purchased this truck off ebay a little over a year ago and have done nothing but drive it and collect stuff to make it better. Its a California made truck, off the assembly line in San Jose, Ca. Someone has added a nice 1968 351 Cleveland and 2 speed automatic transmission (on the floor) from a mustang. I haven't touched it except to add a new battery and alternator. It runs good, I run around town with it on weekends, takes a couple of cranks to start but once started it runs smooth and doesn't smoke. It steers good, has power steering and power brakes, brakes good. This is the custom cab version with inset dash gauges, side tool box, etc. I was going to buy a harness for engine and redo it since it was originally a 6 cyl 6 volt system I'm guessing. The truck has an electric fan for radiator, I am including a brand new electric fan with truck, I found that the fan that's on it is back wards and pushes air forward, my plan was to install new fan with new radiator, or basically what I'm saying this truck is totally worth fixing up. It appears that the original color was red. here's what I purchased that will go with it: original 1965 mechanic manual (thick), spare battery (new), original in the box front grill with no damage (there are no after market grills for 65 ford only 1966 ford, production stopped in sept 1965 and the converted to 66 grills), new front bumper and all mounting hardware, new FORD emblems for just above grill, new hood ornament, original blinker lenses and bezels, new head lights and bezels, new door panels (black), new arm rests (black), the kick panels have speakers in them so I go two original panels that need to be painted and installed. There are many other items stored away in my garage, everything for it will be yours. Dual Exhaust appears to be new.

This truck is fully registered and insured to me, pink slip in hand, with my name on it. There will be no issues with sell. The guy I bought it from wasn't so honest about that! he also took the gas pedal and put stock one back on, so the one pictured (foot) isn't there. This engine has a very very small leak somewhere, never looked but its barely left a stain in my driveway. I have driven it from san leandro to concord many times to work and bought it in tracey ca, drove it home without issue. I'm getting married and need money to pay for it. I don't want lookie lou's, if your not serious buyer please don't contact me.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Ford builds Lightweight Concept with Fusion shell [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

It's a fairly well known fact that removing weight from a car is essentially a panacea for many of the modern automobiles problems. Does it handle like crap? Remove weight. Underpowered? Don't add power; trim the fat. Need to improve fuel economy? It's diet time.
Actually executing a major weight reduction program, though, much like with human beings, is no easy task. Unlike you or I, where motivation is the issue, the prohibitive measure in trimming a car's waistline is money. Lightweight materials are expensive, with carbon fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic still primarily in the domain of higher end vehicles. Even aluminum construction, pioneered on a mass-produced level by Audi and Jaguar, is only now starting to make its way into the mainstream, thanks to the upcoming Ford F-150.
With this concept, though, Ford is attempting to show that a mass-produced, lightweight vehicle isn't too far off. This is the Lightweight Concept, and while it may look like a Fusion, it weighs as much as a Fiesta. For reference, the lightest Fusion available to the public is the 3,323-pound, 2.5-liter model with a manual transmission. A manually equipped, 1.6-liter Fiesta, meanwhile, is just 2,537 pounds.
