Offered for auction at a very low reserve is an extremely cool vintage Ford pick-up! This truck is actually a 1947 model with an extremely rare 1941 hood and front fenders. After spending most of its life in California and the dry Midwest, this truck began its transformation on the east coast at a well known hot rod shop. The stock suspension has been rebuilt with a front disc brake upgrade and custom rear axle. Under the hood sits a beautiful 350 Chevrolet V-8 with loads of power. Inside the cab, the truck received an all new wiring harness, gauges and custom steering column. The attached custom column shift manages a new 350 Chevrolet transmission. All custom metal work has been completed including removal of the stock gas filler. This truck runs and drives well with a temporary fuel cell and bed mounted battery, and there are plenty of new and original parts that go with the sale to take this Ford in whatever direction you desire. Whether you choose to leave it as is or finish it as a high end street rod, the sky is the limit! Transport is available for a small fee within a reasonable radius. Please don’t hesitate to call George at 703-969-1715 with any questions.

Ford readying 2015 F-150 drift truck for SEMA
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Between the Mustangs you'd find in Formula D and the Fiestas in the Global and World rallycross championships, there's no shortage of Ford drift cars on the scene. But at the upcoming SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the Blue Oval automaker intends to show off a different kind of drift machine.
Created in collaboration with driftmeister Vaughn Gittin, Jr., this custom F-150 has been designed for "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping." It's got a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift Performance to give it 12 inches of travel and comes packed with 5 Recaro seats. Other details remain limited, but if the rendering above is anything to go by, it ought to be pretty awesome.
Alongside the Gittin truck, Ford will also be showcasing another F-150 designed together with freestyle motorcross rider Brian Deegan, packing the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine and a long list of enhancements. Between these two trucks, Ford hopes to extend its winning streak for the Hottest Truck award that it's taken four years running now. Feel free to read more in the press release below.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VI
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.
