This truck was a complete frame off build completed in the late 80's as a parade vehicle for one of the top 2 beverage companies in Nebraska. It was built to look as an old delivery truck. This truck has a 1974 ford pinto motor and auto trans, machined to the original drive train. Hydraulic brakes were installed using parts from a 3/4 ton 72 ford truck. Again the original wheels were adapted to the later model brakes. The idea was to keep the exterior as original as possible.It was used in parades for several years then stored for several more. I purchased the truck from the beverage company several years later. I was one of the original builders on the restoration project. The vehicle was again used as a parade vehicle for one of the local Red Hat chapters, Thats why it is purple, and the box was made into benches for parade passengers with red carpet. A set of steps were manufactured for easy access to the benches.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
