You are bidding on a heavily modified 1974 Ford Bronco I purchased in Palm Springs, CA in 2003. When I bought the truck, it was bone stock with a tired 302, 3 speed on the column with a shot suspension. I installed a 2 inch body lift then added a Deaver 3.5 inch front and 2.5 inch rear suspension lift for that SoCal look. The extended heim-jointed front radius arms give fantastic articulation off road while the twin Rancho 9000 shocks at each corner keep things under control at speed.

The engine is a Smeding Performance build 392 stroker. Classic Truck magazine did a write-up on this motor in April 2007; Google it, this truck gets after it! A hydroboost power braking system get you slowed down quick. Feeding that engine is a Howell throttle body injection system. A 25-gal fuel tank gives a 300-mile range....give or take. Behind the 392 is an NV3550 5-speed transmission; an Atlas II twin stick transfer case sends power to the high pinion Dana 44 front and 9-inch rear end. Front and rear axles have 4.10 gears with ARB lockers. The full width axles from a 1978 F-150 are stronger than stock and give an extra 6-inches of wheel track adding to stability off road. Off road you are protected by a custom 6-point roll cage built just for this truck while 3/8 steel rock skis protect the rocker panels and provide a nice step-up into the cab.

At the front of the truck a pre-runner bumper holds a pair of Hella HID lights for long range illumination and two 5-inch KC running lights. The 9500-lb winch is wrapped with synthetic rope for safety. The truck was completely re-wired in 2007 ensuring that the electrical system was up to handling the power that the winch additional lights draw. The winch has remote controls installed on the dash. The rear bumper holds up to a 38-inch spare tire and high-lift jack on one side and a Jerry can and ice chest on the other. I modified the hard top to a safari-style top with a rag top sunroof installed. I recovered the front seats in reproduction original style seat covers. The rear seat is a fold and tumble unit from Wild Horses.

I'm sure I am forgetting a bunch of things because the list of modifications is longer than my arm. I have over $65,000 in receipts for work that I have had done on this truck. It's no show truck but I get lots of compliments on it wherever I go. This truck is built to go just about anywhere without any worries and is reliable enough to jump in and drive across the country. I hate to sell it I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it.

Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
