This pickup could be your next daily driver.

What? When I first built this pickup I drove it almost 100 miles daily. It's been from my home in Longview WA to Santa Maria CA (West Coast Kustoms Cruisin Nationals) twice which is a 2000 mile round trip. On long highway trips like that it gets 18-19 miles per gallon. The pickup has been on the road since 2006 but was recently torn down for paint and to finish upholstery.

Wheels are 15" from a 1951 Plymouth. Fronts are stock (4 1/2") and rears were widened 1/2".
Front tires (B.F. Goodrich Silvertown 6.00 X 15) are new. Rear tires are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00 X 15 and are in great shape.
Engine was completely rebuilt. Bored .040 over, heads ported, RV grind on cam from Hot Heads, balanced and stock compression.
Carburetors are Holley 94s from Vintage Speed.
Electronic ignition.
Aluminum radiator
T5 Camero 5 speed transmission.
Front disk brakes.
Cab was chopped 5" and A pillars were laid back to give it a Bonneville/lakester look. Rear window wasn't chopped, just repositioned, floor was made from formed and fabricated 10 gauge steel.
Exhaust is 2 1/4" out the back with glasspacks.
Steering box is original but completely rebuilt. The old worm gear became the new shifter knob.
Original bed was shortened and new stake pockets added.
Bed cover was made from on old tin canopy.
Gas tank and Optima battery are in the bed.
Hood was pie cut to narrow the front; then nosed downwards to give the front end a nice rake.
Rodall Performance air cleaners.
All red upholstery is leather. Some paint transfer from doors are on the side of the seat bottoms.
Ashtray is from a 1935 Ford (rotating ball with V8 symbol embossed on outside).
Original frame with VIN easily seen. Makes licensing a lot easier.
Pin striped by John Harmon

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.
