I've owned this truck since 2007 and used it as my daily driver for quite some time. During this time I upgraded it extensively with the following to achieve a balance between performance, reliability and fuel economy:
Engine: Offenhauser Dual Port intake manifold - Edelbrock 1406 carburetor - K&N air filter and engine breather - Pertronix3 multi spark ignition in rebuilt distributor - 8.5mm high performance plug wires
Transmission: replaced C4 with AOD 4 speed with 1250 stall converter and shift kit
Drive train: all U-joints new and drive shaft balanced - 3.25 posi replaced against new 3.89 posi from Speedway Motors
Suspension and wheels: 17" Ansen Racing rims 8" front and 10" rear with new in 2013 NITTO high performance tires - front lowered 2" and rear sway bar kit installed for handling
Brakes: master, flex lines, calipers, wheel cylinders and rear drums new within the last 10.000 mls
Exhaust: Brand new Magnaflow dual exhaust in 2013
AC works fine. I installed Mustang seats and the drivers seat is power. The car has its original radio which plays only loud. Needs fixing or replacing. The fuel and temperature gauge are currently not working. Currently it has a camper topper installed because of my dog traveling with me. The truck has a rear sliding window.
I drove this truck for about 25.000 mls and it never let me down. The engine runs strong and revs only 1800rpm at 60mph. It is good on gas, up to 19 mls/gal and you can go 90mph all day long if you live in Texas. My wife and I drove it to Big Bend 3 years ago, carrying my 4wheeler in the bed.
Why do I sell? I got really busy in my business and can not give it the attention it deserves. The paint begins fading and the clear burned off in sections. The gravel roads around here have left their marks and to prevent further damage, it needs a little tlc.
Don't get me wrong: It is still a sharp looking truck and there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it rides better than most and it is tight and rattle free.
It is a very clean ride.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
Ford Mustang SVT caught looking fierce on the 'Ring
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The next-generation Ford Mustang SVT is one of the most anticipated performance cars of the moment. We've already seen it testing multiple times, but it has always been covered is some very heavy camouflage. However, Ford has just given us our best view yet of the new muscle car. According to our spy photographer, the Mustang was at the Nürburgring for high-speed testing, which meant that the Blue Oval had to remove most of the heavy obfuscation that the SVT has worn previously.
The stylish, more revealing camo makes picking out some of the more interesting details about the SVT rather easy. Starting from the front, there is the big hood scoop to feed cold air to its still mysterious engine. You can also immediately make out the model's new grille and lower front air dam. It has a vertical piece running from the bottom of the hood all the way to the ground. The aggressive styling almost gives the 'Stang the look of two fangs ready to bite down. The hood seam is even taped off here, which shows us its outline.
Around the side, it appears that the front and rear fenders are wider than stock, and the sills are certainly much larger. You can also just make out the SVT's bigger brakes behind its black wheels with a polished lip. Finally, at the rear, things appear mostly stock other than the diffuser that the exhaust outlets nestle into.
