1959 Ford F-100 Short Bed, Side Step, Hot Rod Truck Pickup

Builder collected rust free components to put together this great little truck.

  • Truck Frame from a 1959
  • Truck Bed from a 1959 (one of 501 specialed ordered for the Navy that is taller then standard side step beds)
  • Truck Cab from a 1960

Features:

Fresh 302 includes Stainless Steel Values, Flat Top Pistons, High Volume Oil Pump, New 4-Barrel Carb, Aluminum High Rise Manifold, Long Tube Headers, Nicely Tuner Mufflers (has the sound!), New Cooling System, Dual Electric Fans with Manual Control for Slow Crusing, Power Steering, Steering Column from a 1964 Galaxie, Power Brakes with Large Front Discs, Mustang Seats with Power on the Driver's Side, Custom Built Fuel Cell in Bed, Cool Looking Old School Craiger Mags, Recent Front Suspension Rebuilt.

The paint is not the best. This is a fun truck to drive, fast, gets lots of thumbs up. Is not a rattler, except over the rail road tracks. Drives straight as an arrow hands free at 70 (this is not a habit~just testing). Did have a bump shifter on fabricated console, but I replaced with a colume shift for more cabin room.

Sounds incredible with exhaust exiting under the side steps. Has new front and back glass. Needs a replacement passenger side door glass. Will include plans to install a Mustang gas tank between rear frame rails, which was going to be my next project while replacing bed floor. This is a nice looking truck, but I consider it a driving project because of remaining small projects: interior, tank and bed floor.

Purchased from builder 5 years ago and don't drive it enough to keep. On another note, the truck is titled as a 1960 because of the cab.

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality

Wed, 01 May 2013

The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.

Ford considering return to Le Mans with new EcoBoost LMP2

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

If you want to see a Ford racing prototype, you need look no further than the United SportsCar Championship, where the Blue Oval fields two Daytona Prototypes powered by an EcoBoost-branded 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. But according to the latest rumors, that may not be enough for Ford, which has as much brand to promote overseas as it does back home.
That could be why Racer magazine is reporting that Ford may be poised to return to Le Mans in the coming years. As we all know, Ford competed at Le Mans in the mid-through-late '60s, bringing home four consecutive overall wins with the legendary GT40. The new program would not, according to Racer, seek to relive those glory days, but would instead compete for class wins in the LMP2 category.
Currently, LMP2 regulations are somewhat split between the United SportsCar Championship in North America on the one hand and ACO-sanctioned series like the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship on the other, but plans are underway for the regulations to be unified in time for the 2017 season. That could be when Ford is targeting its return, allowing it to compete on both sides of the Atlantic to maximize its exposure.
