Had Mr. Ugly and Bad on the auction with no sucess. I also have 2 others to feed as well. So next and last will be Good, and the details are as follows. I have owned this one for at least 15 years now. Had a 390 with auto tranny and power steering on a straight axle. All that is gone now. I got the Mustang II IFS from Fatman Fabrications back east. That kit alone was 2500 bucks by the time I got everything I needed. Power brake assembly came from back east as well, got the paperwork on most everything done to this truck. Installed a rebuilt 351 Windsor motor and rebuilt C6 automatic tranny. Since the front rims were now Ford car pattern I installed a 1971 Cougar rear end with tall 2:76 to 1 gear ratio.

Then due to a faulty Fram oil filter I lost that motor after only 7 K miles. Now has a hotter rebuilt 351 Windsor again with the RV cam and when it hits a certain RPM range it takes off fairly well. Hood is off a 1958 F100 and that is what was on it when I got this truck. Last owner had it for almost 20 years and it had monster tires on it then. He went camping a lot with the truck. Body work is mostly done by a friend of mine. If you look at the roof line you will notice there is no seam going back anymore. It was easier for him to cut and replace the metal rather than trying to create a new seam. But he didn't spot putty glaze anywhere so it would be a couple days more puttying & sanding to get a nice smooth surface. He just primed over some old paint chips, etc. Bottom rear corner of drivers door is showing some rust blisters forming so that should be taken care of. Once that is done then ready for a new coat of paint. Then recover the front seat a a new pair of speakers for the radio and off on a road trip. I am not worried about driving this truck anywhere. Power steering, disc brakes up front with power brakes. Springs were de arched but that has made for no loads in the back. Either re arch the springs or go for airbags or air shocks.

Other than the roof line there wasn`t much rust on this one. Right back door needs a push on the top side to make sure it is latched. The boys at the defunct local auction house couldn't figure out which door to close first them dummies. Lots of money and time into this one for sure. Having 3 panel trucks is not what I really need right now. Will answer any questions, have been a panel truck owner on and off for 30 years. There is a great Ford F-100 club for 1957 to 1960 models only with members all over the world on facebook definitely worth checking out. Thanks all.

Pertronix electronic ignition, 1 wire Chevy alternator, new door window felt kit are some of the other things I forgot to mention.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode

Fri, Apr 17 2015

MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.

2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.
