All Original 1961 F250 4x4 292 V8 4 Speed On The Floor "highboy" Ex School Truck on 2040-cars
Alpine, California, United States
|
It was originally a school truck, the body is in great shape for it's age, only 2 small spots of rust both on the drivers side door area, probably sat under a tree on that side. I pulled the motor because it was stuck, since then I have broken it loose, was rebuilt once with .10 over rod and mains. Cylinders are smooth, with a light ridge at the top. You can get a ridge reamer and hone for free rental at Autozone. Heads were definitely rebuilt, see the pic's. Truck sat for awhile I planned on doing a rering and bearing kit on the motor, tranny and clutch look and work great. Truck came with a 2 bbl on it, still have it but not sure it can be resurected. I was thinking a nice cam and a 4bbl might get this little guy moving! Seat needs reupholstered, gas tank is like new already pulled as I planned on putting in and underbed one, floorboards are solid, as is bed. Yes that is the stock height of the suspension, could probably fit 35's easily. Motor and tranny are divorced from the Transfer case via a short driveshaft, so if you want to you can basically put any motor/tranny combo you want up front. This was called the most hardworking truck ever made in it's day, probably why you can't find them anymore! All the glass is good, a few chips in the windshield. I have an extra set of doors so you can choose if you want the other set, just different mirrors. Brakes work, rolling around easily, tires hold air, ...was a daily driver till parked.

Justin Bell makes a horrible policeman
Mon, 11 Nov 2013If you're wondering what type of person makes a good police officer, it seems a racecar driver doesn't. Let us rephrase that: Justin Bell, a racecar driver and the host of Motor Trend's World's Fastest Car Show, recently got behind the wheel of a 5.0-liter Ford Mustang police car with Sergeant Daniel Shrubb, co-founder of DRAGG (Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti), and proved that his high-performance-driving skillset is a bit too aggressive for police duty.
While it's easy to get carried away in a Mustang GT, a patrol car driver must maintain some sort of restraint while pursuing a criminal, so as not to come off as a reckless driver to the public. We'll admit, some pursuit techniques are counter-intuitive to performance driving (stay off the gas in a lane-change exercise?), but Bell's judicious use of the handbrake can't be normal procedure.
Watch "The One With The Ford Mustang 5.0 Police Car" (yes, we caught the Friends reference too) below to see some shenanigans in one of Michigan's finest patrol cars.
Americans will get a four-cylinder Ford Mustang after all? [w/poll]
Sat, 09 Mar 2013Ask and you shall receive. Remember that previous report suggesting that the 2015 Ford Mustang getting a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, and that it would be sold in Europe only and not the United States? Well, according to Road & Track, the rumor is only partially true - The Mustang will get the engine, but it is indeed coming to America.
Additionally, according to RT, the 3.7-liter V6 will continue to serve as the base engine, and since it offers up a stout 305 horsepower in its current form, it's likely that the 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost will produce a bit more than that. At the top of the range, the Mustang GT will continue to soldier on with a V8 engine, which should continue to send over 400 horsepower to the rear wheels.
Finally, while we agree 100 percent with RT's heartfelt request for a paddle-shift automatic, we certainly expect that the EcoBoost 'Stang will be offered with a manual transmission as standard equipment. This is a Mustang, after all...
Jay Leno and Lee Iacocca reflect on 50 years of Ford Mustang
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Lee Iacocca oversaw the birth of the Ford Mustang back in the 1960s, rocketing the new pony car nameplate into million-unit sales territory in its initial go-round and cementing its place in the history books. Thus, we were immediately drawn to this latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage, in which the funnyman hosts Iacocca for a look at the origins of Ford's most iconic sports car. The legendary auto exec is looking notably more frail than when we last saw him, but if we're being asked around as a video guest when we're 89 years old, we'll consider that evidence of a life well lived.
Serial No. 0001 is on hand for the occasion for Jay's romp through history, as is the historic Mustang 1 showcar from 1962. Of course, the all-new 2015 Ford Mustang GT (in prototype form) makes an appearance at the end of the episode with chief engineer Dave Pericak, as well. Get some, below.
