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):

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
