Here is one of my personal favorites so far!! 1952 Ford F-6 fire truck that was in service in Tennessee and sold from the fire house to the individual I bought from in 2007. At this point the truck had a full restoration including all new interior, glass, weather stripping, seals , paint interior and exterior , all new chrome, etc. With only 6,112 original documented mileage this truck is in amazing condition with no rust ever. Original flathead v8 starts and runs on a dime every time with no cooling problems. Added electronic ignition, new water pumps, rebuilt radiator, and full tune up. Very well detailed under the hood. Since I have owned it I have installed a 1952 period correct 4 speed full synchronized transmission ( 4syn) for easier driving and also had the drive shaft rebuilt. It has a fully functional 2 speed split shift rear end. From there had the hard to find 19.5 wheels added to get rid of the old 2 piece wheels. I had a complete brake job done including wheel cylinders, shoes, lines, hoses, drums, hardware kit, e brake lining, power assist, master cylinder axle seals and more. This truck stops great! All the fluids have been drained and filled. The truck has been completely rewired front to back with dual batteries installed. Full 12 volt battery conversion with battery isolator installed for running all the lights and etc.. Everything works on this truck mechanically and electronically. I have over 10,000 dollars in invoices for this truck that the previous owner had done between 2008 and 2009. That does not even touch the amount I have done in the past year myself. The two biggest things needed are the passenger side vent window needs replaced and the top of the driver side fender needs to be touched up where the paint has come off. The front lights on the bumpers are in perfect working condition I just have not wired them up completely yet. All the lights, siren, spots, etc.. all have been rewired and work great. I have never tried to pump water but its all complete and looks like it would work. All the gauges have been replaced for the pump (see pictures). The other added bonus is all the antique fire accessories that will come with the truck which is an easy 2,000 dollars worth of extras. I have collected enough parts from 3 trucks and planned on adding some of the accessories to this one. There is way to many parts to try to list here!!! Also have some of the original wheels, complete rebuilt set of brakes if ever needed, some extra 19.5 tires. When I bought the truck I towed it on a 20 foot heavy duty equipment trailer. Everything that comes with the truck should fit in the truck for easy hauling. This truck will also be for sale locally. Please email with any questions or to go over all the extra accessories.

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
Introducing the 1965 Ford Mustang
Sat, 24 Aug 2013Put on your space suits and diving bell helmets, for it's time to step into a time capsule. The 50th anniversary of a historic model, like, say, the Porsche 911 this year, is certain to bring flights of nostalgia. This historical trip with the 1965 Mustang, though - preliminary hype for next year's anniversary, we know - is a swell museum exhibit for anyone who enjoys bygone days of the automobile.
Lee Iaccoca gave a speech to motoring journalists on April 1, 1964 at the New York World's Fair to introduce a sporty car for younger drivers. His opening line: "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to one of the proudest moments of our lives." The company was so excited by what it had made that the Mustang was Ford's first "International Press Introduction," being introduced to some 2,000 journos around the world on the same day in the US and 11 European cities. Even through its difficult points, no one at the time could have known how well the Mustang would acquit that pride.
After the intro, the press drove Mustangs 750 miles from New York to Dearborn, MI, reading press kits that touted features like the "vertical, three-sectional taillights/turn signals," "170" six-cylinder engine with 101 horsepower and the available Cruise-O-Matic transmission.
NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
