This is a one of a kind rat rod custom truck. If you are looking for a stock pick up truck this is not anywhere near stock. It took me three years to build and the person who buys it or trades for it will be a person who likes to drive something cool and unusual. When I go to the hardware store, I have to account for an added thirty minutes for my trip because folks have a million questions and want to take pictures of it.
To start with, the running boards are made of a fiberglass surfboard that has a welded support frame underneath them. The windows are clear plastic that roll up and attach with industrial snaps. The tires are old school bias from decades ago. The steering wheel is out of a 1913 farm tractor and the whole interior is made from old burlap sacks and beer and whiskey labels.
Did I mention that there are dozens of stainless steel spike located on the body and front bumper? The motor is a late 80's 302 out of an F 150 and the seat is modified to allow a larger fellow like myself (6'2" / 280lbs) to drive comfortably. There is a four on the floor with a Hurst Competition shifter with a mind of its own in it. By that I mean that it hides reverse on me from time to time. New brakes, wiring, cooling system and ipod plug in stereo system.
The truck was featured in November 2012 Hot Rod Magazine and has won car show award. I have had two people who wanted it and they were planning to restore it back to stock. I do not want to turn it over to a person who wants to do that. I want a rat rodder to have it and continue adding custom stuff.The original rear end is in it and it is geared low, low enough to climb straight out of Hades. It is a putter, operating best in the top speed of 50 mph or so, not a freeway flier. One guy asked me if he could drive it to Las Vegas, I told him he could but I wouldn't want to do it.
Never overheats, does not use any oil to speak of and starts every time despite being a cold blooded son of a gun, once she warms up call her butter 'cause she is on a roll.

Unibody Ford Ranger replacement
Ford hiring 800 more salaried workers than originally expected
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is on a roll this year, with excellent quarterly earnings and better-than-expected vehicle sales leading to 800 more job opportunities with the Blue Oval. In January, Ford announced that it wanted to hire 2,200 salaried employees, but, since then, that figure has been revised to 3,000, representing a 36-percent increase over original projections. About 1,500 of those jobs remain, 80 percent of which are technical professional positions.
"Engineers and technical professionals are in as much demand as our cars, trucks and SUVs," says Felicia Fields, Ford Group Vice President for Human Resources. Helping to spur this job growth are increasing market share on both the West and East Coast and robust demand for the Ford Escape and F-150.
To find job candidates, Ford is reaching out to them via Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, in addition to the company's corporate career site. The Blue Oval is also ramping up its presence on college campuses.
Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
