 This is a running and driving, 1947 Ford Pickup . This One of a kind truck was designed originally for a member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and as you can see from the flyers, and stickers and autographed hub caps has been to many a concert and show. I also have the original cab visor, it's in last picture. Just drove her around lake then took pics, so that's what she looks like after weekend of cruising and rewiring it. Could of washed her, but anyone can post a pretty pic, these are real pics for a real Ratrod cruiser.

1947 Ford
1.) Plain Satin Black paint job,
2.) Sound Flathead six
3.) Electrical system converted to 12 volt
4.) Interior completely covered in sound proof / heat shield
5.) Original seat mounts rebuilt
6.) BEd Rebuilt with 2" tubing
7.) Pioneer CD player JBL speakers
8.) Good tires
9.) fresh brakes
10.) 36 inch Ludwig bass drum for fenders
11.) Zildjian Cymbals for hub Caps
12.) The cymbal bag holds the x tire iron

   The bed wood cross member supports are rebuilt along with the bed with 2" tubing, and solid so someone could replace them if they decided to take it from RatRod to show truck.

This is a simple Ratrod, insulated, rewired, and garage kept from day one! There are no dents and dings in this truck, in my opinion the most solid 1947 I've seen in years. Oh and yes and a complete underdash  A/C can be purchased on Ebay for 500.00. Although I've had no problems with the window down and arm out.

Ford recalls select Explorer, E-Series vans

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Just a few days ago we brought you news that Ford had issued a recall on 28,000 units of the Edge crossover for problems related to the fuel line. But now the Blue Oval has issued recall notices on two more of its larger vehicles.
The first relates to the Explorer, 395 examples of which from the 2011 and 2012 model years were found to have problems with their steering systems if they underwent service after September 1, 2013. An apparent software glitch could lock the steering gear, preventing the driver from steering the vehicle and thereby increasing the risk of a crash. As a result, Ford dealers are being instructed to check their records to identify the problematic vehicles and bring them in to have the steering gear replaced. Details of the recall can be found in the PDF linked here.
The second problem revolves around E-Series vans that may develop bubbles in their windshields under hot temperatures. The decrease in visibility through the problematic windshield could - you guessed it - "increase the risk of a crash." As a result, Ford is calling in 4,532 units of the E-150, E-250, E-350 and E-450 vans built in the relatively short window between May 12 and May 26, 2011. Details of this recall can be found in the notice below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Chip Foose tastefully enhances his personal Ford GT

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Typically, we'd expect a vehicle from 2006 to fall well short of a more modern vehicle, both in terms of performance and style. Of course, the Ford GT is not your average offering from the Bush era. That's doubly true when the 2006 GT in question belongs to one Chip Foose.
Purchased by his wife as a 50th birthday present, Foose is showing his custom, personalized GT at the 2014 SEMA Show. The 5.4-liter supercharged V8 breathes a bit easier thanks to a full Magnaflow Performance exhaust, but Foose's GT isn't all about the performance.
Instead, the car customizer extraordinaire has focused on tasteful aesthetic enhancement, tweaking the rear end by removing the bumper and trimming the frame extensions. The wheels, meanwhile, are one-off aluminum alloys, designed by Foose himself. Like the stripes, the wheels feature orange accenting.

2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
