1952 Ford F-100 (f-1) Street Rod Pickup-custom-great Looks & Ride-awesome Truck on 2040-cars
El Paso, Texas, United States
|
My 1952 Ford F1 (F100) Pickup Streetrod is an awesome "Resto Rod" Combining the Incredible Nostalgic Looks of Yesterday with the while meeting today's performance standards. IT'S AMAZING. Let's get into some of the specifics. The truck is "Motorvated" by a brand new Mr. Goodwrench crate 350 Chevy with a brand new 350 automatic transmission.....beefed up of course a bit for some extra performance. The engine has a really nice high performance intake manifold added and it runs and sound fabulous. Of course, the cooling system has been updated with a high quality performance radiator to keep things cool under the hood and in the cab things are kept cool by a really nice Vintage Air/Heat combo unit and it works great, even in intense El Paso Tx. hot temperatures. Alot of thought and innovation went into the building of this beautiful 1952 Ford F1 Pickup Streetrod. Check out the shot of the grille below. Notice anything different?? Can you tell me what's different? Most people can't. Of course the chrome speaks for itself. Most of the older grilles were painted white or gray. But look a little harder..... The stock grille normally only has 3 vertical "teeth"...this one has 5. Isn't that cool? And quite expensive to come up with in the process. But this beautiful truck deserves all the love is received. Now here's another totally cool but subtle thing to consider. Look at the cab from the side...notice anything? You may not but don't feel bad. Most people don't...they just wonder why the truck looks to amazing. The cab was "chopped" 2" which means the cab is 2" shorter than a stock cab. And the great part is you get the amazing looks of this truck and still have bunches of headroom for people who may be over 6' tall. The interior is exceptionally nice and check out the awesome chrome tilt steering column. And yes, don't forget the great AC/Heat in the truck. I retained the original gauges for a retro appearance but it also has some nice modern gauges to the right of the original ones. ***Please note that the gas gauge is not reading correctly. It reads about 1/2 of what the actual fuel level is.*** Oh, and did I mention electric windows and a nice stereo? The truck was also used for State Farm Insurance promotions and advertising. Check out the interesting License Plate. It's no longer current but will go with the truck. I will also entertain trades for a really nice low mileage trike (no voyager please) or perhaps another antique/custom/streetrod auto preferably from the 1930's-1940's range. Not interested in any projects please. Might consider a trade up or down for the right vehicle. NO FOREIGN BUYERS, however I will work with buyers from Mexico and Canada. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I CAN BE REACHED AT 915-276-1505 AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE TRUCK IS LOCATED IN EL PASO, TX. I WILL NOT SHIP BUT WILL COOPERATE WITH THE SHIPPER OF YOUR CHOICE OR YOU CAN FLY INTO THE EL PASO AIRPORT WHERE I WILL PICK YOU UP AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT HOME. AND IT WILL BE A GREAT RIDE. 915-276-1505 |

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.

Ford's Simple Suit Makes You Feel Like A Drunk Driver
Tue, Mar 25 2014We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer.
