Pickup Truck Built On 1916 Ford Model T Chassis on 2040-cars
Bristol, Indiana, United States
|
The vehicle is a pickup truck built on a 1916 Ford Model T chassis. The vehicle has original fenders, hood, radiator, lights and running gear. The wheels are wood spoke with 4" x 30" tires. The bed is an aftermarket kit from Mac's and the cab has been built to fit the chassis out of native hardwood and exterior plywood. The engine was rebuilt by Sheridan's near Muskegon, MI as was the transmission. The transmission has Kevlar bands and the driveshaft has been updated with rear tapered roller bearings and front needle bearings. The brakes have been upgraded with the addition of Rocky Mountain brakes. The electrical system has been upgraded to a 12 v. system with an alternator and Texas T distributor. The rear end was rebuilt with the addition of bronze spacers in place of the original babbit spacers and new ring and pinion gears. The rebuilding was completed in 2008 and the vehicle has been driven about 1000 miles since. The truck would look right at home on the streets of the late teens and twentys as a very utilitarian vehicle for light hauling as a work truck and is very suitable for weekend tours as well as being very reliable due to the later electrical system. The lights have been upgraded to halogen lamps for greater safety and visibility during night driving.

Mustang GT350 reveal coming Nov 17?
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Ford looks to have something really big planned for the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. The Blue Oval has released the first of five teaser videos on the brand's performance heritage, and aside from some great images of racers over the years, the video includes a series of teaser images, the last of which points to November 17, 2014.
That's the day before press days open in LA, and considering the propensity of global automakers to plan lavish debuts the night before a major international auto show, it's a virtual certainty that Ford will be showing off some sort of special vehicle.
That'd be news in and of itself, but based on the images shown in Ford's teaser video - which include an Alcantara steering wheel, a "Powered by Ford" valve cover, aluminum pedals, sticky tires, a big, round exhaust tip, a honeycomb grille and a serious set of wheels - it seems very likely that Ford will be showing something performance oriented.
Ford Everest Concept shows China also has an affinity for big trucks
Mon, 21 Apr 2014The Ford Everest Concept SUV at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show shows the future of the Blue Oval's truck line in China. While a concept for now, we're told that JMC, Ford's Chinese joint-venture partner, will build a production version sometime in the near future.
With design from Ford's Asia Pacific design team, the handsome seven-passenger SUV shows off some very muscular styling with wraparound headlights that hook into the contours of the angular trapezoidal grille. The beltline rises up the body in the rear and makes the back appear higher than the front. The rear is made from hard, chiseled contours that give the truck a very tough look. The Everest looks ready for some rough roads.
Ford is keeping the interior and mechanical details about the Everest a secret for now, but the SUV is rumored to share some components with the overseas Ranger pickup. The company has no plans to sell the truck in North America. Scroll down to read the official announcement, including the few details on its production.
Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
