The 38' Special
Up
for bid today is a 1938 Ford truck project that I have been working on for a
few years now. I wanted to build a traditional Drag Racer/Gasser like they
would have built in the late 50s - early 60s. I started gathering parts and
building the truck and have a great start for somebody who is into the
nostalgia Drag race look.
Chassis-
The truck is built on a 37 Ford truck frame
with a 39-40 Ford front axle and brakes with split wishbones up front and a mid
60s Pontiac Posi-trac rear axle and ladder bars in the rear. Both front and
rear axles have the old school transverse leaf springs, still needs shocks
mounted front and rear. The rear axle is massive and has huge 12 inch brakes; a
15 inch wheel barely fits over them. It is also a posi unit as it has the tag
on the filler plug.
The frame still needs some finish work; I
would probably box the inner frame rails or at least reinforce them where the
wishbones and steering box mounts for added strength.
Brake components are all there, front and
rear, but need gone through. I am including a frame mount brake pedal and an
under dash setup that could work also.
Wheels up front are 15 inch early Ford with
New Coker bias ply - Rear wheels are 15inch GM steel with Vintage NOS Foremost AFX Drag slicks.
Motor/Trans-
The motor is a really nice 1950 Olds 303
that we took apart and it was really nice inside, looked like a low mileage
motor or had been rebuilt before it was parked. We put in all new gaskets, new
timing chain, new water pump, took the heads clear apart and lapped the valves
and put in new valve seals. Then we added a vintage 3 carb Edelbrock manifold, new
plug wires and test ran the motor on an engine stand and it ran great! It is
only running off the center carb, it will need linkage and all that. The valve
covers on this motor are white porcelain coated which is really cool, not sure
if that was a factory thing or if somebody had it done, but I have never seen
that before.
Also comes with custom built headers that
need a little finish welding.
The transmission setup is a conversion in
progress going from automatic to manual. I found a Cadillac manual bellhousing which
bolts right up to the Olds motor and I have a vintage Schaffer Aluminum
flywheel but it still needs some work to get everything to work together, we
machined a little off the bellhousing but it is still a little too deep and
will require a longer throwout bearing or you can save yourself the trouble and
just buy the aftermarket bellhousing from Bendetson and be done with it. I
think it's about 400 bucks, then you can bolt any Chevy manual trannny on you
want. Currently we have a 57 Chev manual three speed on it.
Body-
The cab is a 38 Ford that has been chopped
and we also channeled the floor a couple inches so it sits down over the frame
a bit more. Perimeter of cab floor has been reinforced with box tubing but the
sheet metal work still needs done. The cab itself is really pretty decent, just
a little rust coming through on the bottom of the passenger door. We have the
glove box door and back window garnish molding that needs to be chopped still
as well as a really nice windshield frame that will need cut down as well.
Truck also comes with a nice 36 Ford truck
grille and an original 38 Ford truck hood - what I wanted to do was fit the
front of the 38 Ford hood to the 36 Ford grille and cut a hole in the hood for
the air cleaners to poke through. It would look bitchin' if you wanted a hood
on it. A guy would still need to figure out a core support/radiator to mount
the grille to, might even be able to do a stock type radiator as well and mount
the grille that way.
The bed is a 36 I believe, we shortened
it about 8 inches, has the original Ford script tailgate and hinges.
Truck comes with a bunch of other vintage
parts as well including a full set of vintage Sun Gauges with a Stewart Warner
speedo, a vintage Fenton fuel block, 12 volt Generator, new 12 volt voltage
regulator, 36 Chev truck steering wheel, Old Ford headlights and a bunch of
other stuff, see pictures.
So if you are looking for a traditional Hot
rod project, here it is - still needs a lot of work such as floors, wiring and
all that, but an awesome start that looks right and has a lot of Vintage hard
to find parts.
Truck is Titled as a 37 Ford truck and comes
with a clear Washington state title. See pictures and Video and feel free to
ask questions. Buyer responsible for shipping/transport arrangements, we will help in any way we can - Payment of Cash in person or Cashiers check within 5 days of sale. Sold as is Happy Bidding!

Halfway between Detroit and Chicago, there is a car museum that gives visitors a unique level of interaction with antique cars. The Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, MI has a driver's training class to teach people of any age to learn how to drive a Ford Model T.
From the crank starter to the column-mounted throttle control, this driving school teaches people all there is to know about driving and operating a Model T. Each class lasts about two and a half hours and is only open to 18 students. There are ten sessions planned for 2014 - twice a day on May 3, June 22, July 22, August 23 and September 14. The class costs $95 (or $85 for members), and it also includes a tour of the museum's automobile collection.
In addition to this driving school, the museum has plenty of exhibits on the property, and it's open all but three days per year (Easter, Christmas and New Year's Day) with free admission for school field trips and active military. Be sure to check out the Gilmore Car Museum's website or visit them on Facebook for more info.

Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).
