This is a great find! Built and sold in TX, this truck has been in the same family since 1972. Everything seems to work on this truck (nothing is botched up) and the odometer reads 88k. Speedo works, temp gauge, gas gauge, all of it!
Spend a few hundred bucks making it legal and safe and run it the way it is! Pictures do not do it justice. This truck turns heads! Chicks dig it. Rat rod her to your personal preference. Air bag it! Run race headers, side pipes...options are endless. ....or you have a great solid start to a period correct restore. This is your truck for that too. Personally I wouldn't touch that Patina for a long time! You couldn't ask for a more attention grabbing bad ass truck. It just looks angry and instantly makes you a tough guy (or girl). Just going to the gas station I got a crowd of people around me! My girlfriend said I look sexy in it. I am very close to not selling this. The ORIGINAL 352 V8 was rebuilt with a hipo cam, head work, intake and 4 barrel. Anyone who knows the FE motor knows what that adds up to....TORQUE MONSTER! It was set up to run on modern gas, given a healthy cam (nice sounding lope), edelbrock intake and matching 4 barrel carb, ...and then the owner died. Kind of adds to the trucks mystique I think. It has an estimated 5 hours of run time to keep things lubed up. I have flushed the gas tank, replaced gas lines, installed an inline fuel filter, a new mechanical fuel pump, and she fired up and runs on all eight like nobodys business. At least one side of the exhaust is leaking bad at the manifold/exhaust donut, (old school 2' duals with cherry bombs hang in place), but it still sounds great. I ran it softly to operating temp and flushed out the oil, ran a big magnet through the oil and It was clean as could be. Zero smoke, no funny noises, just a solid healthy ford v8 that needs a good tuning. The engine is clean, all gaskets, freeze plugs etc. were replaced and block was repainted blue. If I were to keep it, this would be my path to get it on the road. -Two exhaust manifold gaskets (donut between pipe and manifold) Heck, Id probably spring for a new flowmaster or magnaflow dual set up. Looks like this exhaust has been with the truck a while.... -New Rubber -Front shocks -Drum brake rebuilds (it stops fine but its old and its fast!!!) dont be dumb. Pads and springs are cheap. -Set the timing and tune the carb. -I would probably update the cassette deck;) -Go through front end with a fine tooth comb (safety first) Replace bushings/ball joints as necessary. I didn't see anything that needs immediate attention. The interior is probably my favorite part! The factory seat isn't even worn out! There is nothing like a Red bench in a black classic pickup! The headliner and both interior door covers are in amazing shape with just a tinge of Patina... its like a work of art. You can't help but fall in love with this thing. The F100 V8 with the spare tire in the flare side is super rare. When was the last time you saw one pass you? It even appears that the original 1967 spare poly tire is mounted. The bolts have never been turned and it was under cover until now. As stated above there is a little decay under the rear fenders below the bed where wasps built large bulletproof nests that held moisture over the years. This is a seperate bolt in peice!!! No work at all!! There was a nest under the mat in the upper right hand side of passenger floor as well. Super easy fix. This is not a unibody vehicle but a heavy duty framed vehicle. The floor repair is simple and not part of the structural integrity of the vehicle. One of the doors has a couple of bondo skims (painted black) over small dents, nothing major. Never in any accidents. You will see in the pictures that the owner did a nice job of welding plate steel in the bed over the factory wood planks. Keep it like that (nice clean welding job), or cut it out and redo the the wood planks underneath for a really cool look. Cherry wood on that Patina with a red interior would look amazing!!! A little extra weight back there doesn't hurt. It has a claimed weight around 3000 but it feels a lot lighter then that.... Well that's it for now. With an average retail of 10k-14k plus in unrestored condition you can bid with confidence that you can't lose money on this beauty. Real Mans Truck all the way.

The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
2021 Ford F-150 Raptor vs. 2021 Ram 1500 TRX | How they compare on paper
Wed, Feb 3 2021Yep, the F-150 Raptor is back, though you'd be forgiven for not noticing that it ever left. Ford's off-road model is taking a few months off to accommodate the broader 2021 F-150 redesign from which it benefits. And the fine folks over at Ram took full advantage of that lull to launch the new 702-horsepower TRX, which in one big way (hint: it's the engine) stands at the top of the performance pickup heap. Ford says that's all going to change in 2022, but for now, the Raptor returns with a familiar 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 (albeit with an unspecified power figure) along with several other revisions to Ford's tried-and-true formula. The 2020 Raptor was already a worthy adversary to the beefy Ram despite the latter's definitive power advantage, so how has that picture evolved for 2021? Let's take a look.  Powertrain This is a big question mark for the Ford right now, but it seems reasonable to expect a bit more than the outgoing model's 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. The TRX's Hellcat-sourced powerplant needs no introduction. Its 702 horsepower will easily eclipse whatever Ford has planned for its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, even if the V6 has more grunt than it did before, but that's OK. It's not the base-model Raptor's job to dethrone the TRX in straight-line speed; that honor will go to the 2022 Raptor R. We also don't know what the Raptor's fuel economy will be like, but we suspect it will be better than the TRX's, if only slightly. Both these trucks come with four-wheel-drive standard, and they both have a number of drive modes that alter the powertrain’s characteristics depending on the terrain. Baja mode transforms the trucks into the desert runners that they both are at heart, but theyÂ’re plenty capable of crawling around rocks, too. We wonÂ’t know for certain which is best at specific tasks until we can get them both on (or off) equal ground. Suspension / off-roading capability And the ground is where things narrow significantly, both on- and off-paper. The specs are freakishly similar when we compare ground clearance, approach/departure angles and water fording, but the Raptor's leapfrog here is clearly evident. Both trucks utilize a coil-sprung rear suspension now, with Ford having abandoned the Raptor's previous leaf-spring setup with the redesign. The two use different shocks to handle 100-mph-plus desert running.
Ford pranks unsuspecting blind dates with Mustang GT and stunt driver
Thu, Feb 12 2015There's 'speed dating,' that ludicrous get-to-know-you ritual devised by The Inquisition of Mating, and then there's 'dating at ludicrous speed,' which is a better description of what Ford has done in this latest video for the 2015 Mustang GT for your Valentine's Day enjoyment. The Blue Oval used a professional stunt driver to hook six guys into going on a little car trip, but the setup is the key – she pretends she's not that good at driving, until she's really good at it. You can check it out above. Kudos to the guy who goes from "You might want to shift again" to "That's what I'm talking about!" without any question. And the ninja.
