I am listing this truck for a friend. It is a 1932 Ford Model B Pickup body. It is sitting on a 1950 Chevrolet pickup frame. It has the 50 Chevy front axle but is 5 lug. The rear end is from a 1957 chevy car. It has an EXCELLENT running 1949 Ford Flathead V8 engine. Behind it is a 4 speed manual transmission out of a 50's 1 1/2 ton truck. The transmission shifts and works fine but has an occasional grind when shifting into gears. A new dual exhaust has just been put on it. The truck is running on a 12 volt system and had a GM alternator in place of the generator. It has headlights, tail lights, and brake lights. No turn signals. A brand new aluminum radiator has just been installed. Due to the truck being lowered down onto the frame so low, this would not be a comfortable truck for someone 6'5". This truck is ready to ride but in my opinion would be perfect if a S-10 5 speed or Ford C-4 or C-6 transmission (with use of an adaptor plate sold online) was put in place of the 4 speed origional transmission. He has both transmissions and they could be purchased if interested. Anything older than 1975 in Alabama DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE. This truck is registered in Alabama and has a tag and insurance on it! Most states allow the bill of sale and Alabama registration slip to be given at your DMV and title can be issued. Please call the owner: Glenn Murry with ANY AND ALL other questions before you bid. Cell- 334-429-8390 Home- 334-335-5552. The truck is in Luverne, Alabama. No reserve so Happy bidding.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

2015 Ford Edge holds line on pricing, starts at $28,100*
Tue, 04 Nov 2014The Ford Edge gets an updated platform, bolder styling and a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine pumping out 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque for the 2015 model year. You might expect that all those new features would result in a big price bump, but you'd be wrong. Ford is keeping costs identical to the 2014 model with a starting MSRP of $28,100 (*plus an $895 destination charge), according to Edmunds. Ford spokesperson William Mattiace confirmed the numbers to Autoblog.
That's a pretty good deal, but the real ticket here might be the model's Sport trim. Buyers get a 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine with over 300 horsepower and standard adaptive steering for $28,600 plus destination. That's just $500 more than the base model.
Pricing for the Titanium trim has not yet been announced, but it'll be a short wait to find out. Mattiace tells Autoblog that full pricing and the configuration for the model will launch on November 5. He has also confirmed that the 2015 Edge will begin hitting dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
