1963 all original Ford F-100. Alright the boring but important stuff. Long story short this is a daily driver "if you don't mind driving an original 63 pickup around every day". With manual brakes and manual steering there is no talking on the cell phone or texting while driving. I have customized mildly mainly for looks and restored all drivetrain components. Here is the list.
Engine has been rebuilt .030 over, all new bearings, seals, gaskets, freeze plugs, carb, tune-up, custom fit plug wires, chrome single wire alternator, new battery, under hood mounted vacuum gauge. All engine work professionally done. Trans is a floor shift four speed which makes this a hard to find truck. Floor shift looks better and is better to drive, whoever really liked the three on a tree anyhow. Nothing but fluid change done to trans but no problems either, Front and rear wheel bearings new, all four drum brakes have been rebuilt with new wheel cylinders, and machined drums. Rear axle is a Ford 9" unsure of gears, with a 223 I-6 gears don't really matter you aint going too fast. that about does it for the drivetrain.
Interior is all new except paint, blue paint inside is original. Seat has been recovered in new vynil and then covered in a seat cover. no holes tears discoloration etc under seat cover. Gauge cluster is custom one off utilizing original speedo, fuel gauge, sunpro tach, oil psi, water temp. heat works, no a/c. blinkers, interior lights, high beams, basically it all works. Carpet is also new, and insulated underneath for sound and heat improvements.
Bed had the original wood until last week. In efforts of selling vehicle the bed is under construction but will be done by weeks end. Pictures of the new wood are just lying in bed, and the bed isn't sitting on the truck but be assured that the bed will be finished by weeks end with all new wood. Note didn't skimp on wood, wood is poplar, not oak but I like the grain better and poplar is a hardwood that should stand up just like oak.
The ins and outs, rear cab corners are rusted through and repaired prior to me very poorly. Fronts and rears of both rear fenders have rusted through spots. Frame has not been restored but is not rusted, only normal surface. All other areas have been repaired using welded in metal and very minimal bondo. Very solid truck, in fact good luck finding another like it.
Tires are in very good condition, wheels are also new though the center caps have corrosion. Basically if your interested you need to come see this truck.
Now that you have made it to the end of the list here is the really cool stuff. Due to this vehicle being slow yet I want it to be Hot Rod'ish I decided it needed a showstopper quality. This trucks quality is the ability to throw fire. There is a secondary ignition system in the exhaust that when activated causes the engine to misfire throwing fuel down the tailpipes and ignited by the plugs throws fire. the flames are anywhere from 2-5 ft, and last anywhere from 1-3 seconds each. Carb is too small to shoot constant flames, but it does very well.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

8 new cars that are selling below MSRP
Thu, Nov 30 2023Car shopping has been a frustrating activity for many people in recent years, as strained new car inventories have led to markups and elevated prices across the board. It’s been difficult to find vehicles at anywhere near a reasonable price, and some in-demand models are still listed at a premium today. iSeeCarsÂ’ most recent study looked at several aspects of the new and used vehicle markets and found a handful of models that are selling at a discount – a rarity in todayÂ’s world. Most of the vehicles selling below MSRP in October were electric, though the Nissan Armada and Infiniti QX80 made the top eight. To be clear, weÂ’re not talking about huge discounts here – the Kia EV6 was selling with the largest discount of 3.1%. The other models on the list include: Kia EV6: -3.1 percent off MSRP Ford F-150 hybrid: -2.8% Hyundai Ioniq 6: -2.7% Nissan Armada: -1.8% Hyundai Ioniq 5: -0.9% VW ID.4: -0.6% Kia Niro EV: -0.3% Infiniti QX80: -0.2% Electric and hybrid vehicles like the Kia and Ford have been selling at a premium for a long time, as they experienced stronger than expected demand and had challenging early production runs. That theyÂ’re now selling at a discount could indicate wavering buyer demand, but itÂ’s too early to start sounding any serious alarm bells. Though some models are getting cheaper, the industry average is still heading in the wrong direction. The average MSRP of new cars sold last month was $42,510, while the average sales price was $46,077. That 8.4% overage is surprising to see so many months after the worst of the pandemic has passed. iSeeCarsÂ’ executive analyst Karl Brauer had a few words of encouragement, however, saying, “There are still very few ‘dealsÂ’ in the new car market. Shoppers looking to pay below MSRP for a new car will have to do their research, but a small number of models can be bought below sticker price.” Green Ford Hyundai Infiniti Kia Nissan Volkswagen Car Buying cheap cars
Hennessey completes first VelociRaptor SUV conversion [w/video]
Mon, 20 May 2013Start with a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as your base vehicle for modification, and chances are high that you'll end up with something pretty cool. Now, have those modifications done by professional lunatics Hennessey Performance, make the project turning the pickup into an ultra-long SUV, and the result stands a real chance of being a total kick in the ass. Let us present the Hennessey VelociRaptor then, in all of its awesomeness.
Hennessey has taken care in grafting a "Expedition style" rear cabin onto the Raptor, complete with an optional third row. The pictures we have show a cabin that's up to the fit and finish standards of the original Ford truck, too. The cab added over the bed also makes room for a massive load space out back, accessible via split out-folding doors and long enough for a person to lay down in (see video).
Mechanically, the truck-turned-SUV sticks with Ford's stock 6.2-liter V8, rated at 411 horsepower, or can be had with a supercharger and some 600 hp. Hennessey says the stock-motor VelociRaptor will run from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds, while the hi-po version takes just 5.9 seconds. The SUV does take some of the off-road ability away from the Raptor, with the company saying it hasn't yet had the opportunity to test its capabilities. On-roading and "moderate off-road duties" are the current prescription.
