This truck was Lowered and Mini Tubbed in the summer of 2011, The rear end is an 8.8 positrac with 3:73 gears and 31 spline Moser axles. The inner wheel wells were moved in 2" and the bed spray lined by Scorpion bed lining. The springs were moved from outside the frame rails to under the rails using Ford Explorer mounts and the frame was C-notched. It has 15x5 front wheels with 155/80R15 B.F. Goodrich tires and the rear has 15X10 with 275/60R15 B.F. Goodrich tires, tires were New in 2011.It has 3" drop beams and New Upper and Lower Ball Joints, also New Inner and Outer Tie Rod ends and Drag link. New shocks and the brakes were replaced completely including New hardware and hoses. I used Timken, Moog, FoMoCo, Raybestos Wagner and Energy Suspension parts to name a few. I didn't use the cheap parts because I had planned to put a 5.0 from a Mustang GT in it for myself to drive. It is an A/C truck. When I bought it had the factory 2.9 V6 with a Koyo 5 Spd. I found a truck with a 2.3 4 Cyl. and a Mazda 5 Spd. that had been wrecked with about 87000 miles on it. I changed everything over everything and those who have looked at it say they couldn't tell the engine wasn't factory. I put a factory Ford 2.3 header on it. and at the time I changed the motor and trans I took the head off and had it checked for cracks I reinstalled the head with New head gasket, Water pump and timing belt and also installed an New Clutch Pressure plate and throw out bearing, pilot bearing. I also changed the plugs, wires and coils at that time. The truck runs and drives very well. Great start on a V8 Ranger or just a toy as it is. I also have some extra parts included, Traction bars, Rear bumper off a Bronco II and a low back 60/40 bench seat also a crack free dash. The truck shows 98422 on the odometer the motor and trans now have around 100,000 on them. |

Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant
Tue, Jun 17 2014How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
