1934 Ford Pickup rat rod, or traditional hot rod if you prefer. This truck is currently featured in Ol' Skool Rodz magazine #57, on news stands now. It has also been featured in Rebel Rodz magazine. It has been on the road one year and has approximately 1500 miles. It has a "Trucker" theme, with dual roof-mount horns, functional dual exhaust stacks, cab light turn signals, Mack bulldog cowl ornament, and Peterbilt shifter. It drives EXCELLENTLY, very fast and smooth, equally at home on the freeway as around town.
The cab is chopped 4 inches and channeled four inches. The box is shortened 23 inches and narrowed 8 inches. It has a custom-built 2x4 steel frame. Front suspension is a vintage Okie Adams 6-inch dropped I-beam axle, original Model A wishbones, and a new transverse leaf spring on a suicide perch. Rear suspension is a four-link with panhard bar, suspended by coilover shocks. The differential is a freshly rebuilt Ford 8-inch. Steering is a Ford tractor wheel, through a unique chain drive into a Dodge pickup steering box; it is SMOOTH. Wheels are vintage Cragar SS with bias ply tires front and rear. The engine is a recently rebuilt Chevy 307 with a set of 305 heads for 10:1 compression. Induction is an Edelbrock Street Tunnel Ram with dual Holley 450 carbs. Exhaust is through custom headers with baffles, routed into dual stacks with integral Cherry Bomb mufflers. The transmission is a Borg Warner World Class T-5 five speed manual. Radiator is a new aluminum 3-row. It has a full set of new functional gauges: fuel, volt, tach, speedo, oil pressure, temperature. Gas tank is 15-gallon steel hidden under the box. Headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals all work as they should. The battery is easily accessible through a vintage Craftsman tool box in the bed.
The truck is very reliable and comfortable to drive. It starts instantly, runs super, and never overheats. I drive it every weekend the weather allows. It is not a show queen, although it has won its share of trophies. At only 2100 lbs gross weight, above 3000 rpm this car will make you wet your pants. It has no side windows, no heater and no seat belts, no radio - no need for amenities; the car IS the entertainment.
Many YouTube videos are available of this truck driving (please note: all these vids feature the truck with tripower; that has since been changed to dual quads):

Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
