Hello and thanks for looking at my listing I have a 1952 Ford F6 that I built this rat rod out o.f To start of,f I drive this truck daily with no problems at all and it is getting around 19mpg and has no problems running 65mph at all. The truck has the correct title in my name in my hand with no issues or anything like that it is titled and insured as a 1952 ford with that out of the way,.. the cab was chopped 7 inches, it has a new windshield in the front and the rear glass was cut from the original glass that was in it. There is no side glass, but regulators are in the doors still I beleive they are froze up but I'm sure they would work again with some time and oil. I cut the original F6 frame off right behind the cab then built a 2x3 tubing rear frame section. It has a 1998 GM 10 bolt with disk brakes out of a blazer held in with an all adjustable triangulated 4 link set up with two 2500lb air bags that I have set up to just air up to ride height and go once they are aired up, they stay up. I didnt want all the valves and compressor mess in the truck and the fuel tank is a schedule 40 8 inch stainless pipe with end caps welded on it the tank holds right around 9 gallons and has an new electric pump right at the tank to push the fuel it also has brand new 3/8 stainless fuel line from rear to the carb the everthing on the
Rear of the truck is new inside of frame rails except rear end but the pinion seal is new with fresh oil the bed is a 1953 model ford bed that has had 17 inches of lenth 11 inches of width and 8 inches of height took out of it. Now for the front section; it is the original 1952 F6 frame and still has the vin number stamped in the right front rail. I removed the F6 straight axle and springs and bought a 1937 Ford sedan straight axle and sping set up and moved it all the way to the front of the frame and used the original wishbone set up but shortened them and built a cross member under oil pan to use this set and by doing this I could add a little more camber to the front axle making it drive and steer very well along with those modifications it has all new disk brakes on the front and I mean all the way down to the bearings in the rotors it is all GM style and I have all part numbers fo these items for future needs it also has new shocks, spring hanger bushings, new tires on weld racing wheels, on front
all the brake lines from front to rear are new along with new GM master Cylinder. It stops very well. The rear wheels are 15x14 with a7.5 offset with 33/19.50/15 Mickey Thompson sportsman pros that are thin but I still runable for a little while. The engine is a 8ba 239 Ford flathead that runs very well. It has new plugs wires, fresh oil, filte,r and fresh carb. Starts right and it has all been changed to 12v with new wiring throughout. The tranny is a 4 speed that works very well. This truck was not thrown together with a bunch of junk it is very safe and alot of fun to drive it draws a lot of attention and people are always stopping to take pictures of it no matter where I go. For any more questions please call this number this 270 227 3493 or text for more pic the rear mail seal drips a little and I mean drip it is nothing to keep the truck from driving and running and the seats kind of suck, they need raised up, I put them in to go to car show and have never took them back out to raise. It is more fun to drive then work on. if I have left anything out you are concerned about please call or text thank you for your time.

The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer
Fri, 13 Dec 2013To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
