General Description This is a 1952 Ford F100 field find, turned into a completely updated head-turning reliable cruiser. It's unique patina with custom pin striping sets this truck apart from others. So many new parts! This truck is TURN KEY, ready to cruise today. You may have even seen this one on the cover of Summit's Hot Rod Hardware catalog last year. Clean and clear title in my name. RUST This truck has just the right amount of that patina we all love, without the rot. The body is overall very solid, and needs no sheet metal work. FRAME/DRIVETRAIN This truck sits on the sought after mid 80's s10 frame, and has an awesome slammed stance. It's powered by a completely overhauled Chevy 350, with new speed pro pistons and a mild comp cams street cam. The engine looks, sounds, and runs excellent. It has that awesome old school chop at idle, through a full custom true dual exhaust with Dynomax super turbo mufflers. The engine is dressed up with billet accessories, new valve covers, new "nitro plated" headers, new Edelbrock 1406 electric choke carb, and a HUGE K&N air cleaner (the cherry on top!) It's fed from a new 15 gallon RCI fuel cell by a brand new Holley electric fuel pump and pressure regulator. All new fuel lines have been installed, and a custom "flip top" fuel cap has been placed in the wood bed for easy fill ups. The tank has a brand new level sending unit for accurate fuel readings. The rear end is from a 2001 Chevy Blazer with disc brakes, and has a 3:42 Eaton Posi. TRANSMISSION Freshly rebuilt stage 2 700R4 from Maddog Transmissions in Cummings, Georgia....at $1000, this transmission shifts super crisp every time. The tranny is supported by a G-Force cross member, which allows for the placement of the dual exhaust. It runs extra cool with the new BTE extra deep aluminum trans pan. Fluid change is a breeze with the installed drain plug. It connects to the rear end with a brand new light weight PST driveshaft. STEERING/SUSPENSION/BRAKES/TIRES Everything here has been replaced. The new steering shaft, steering linkage, upper and lower ball joints, front sway bar with polyurethane bushings, and polyurethane upper and lower control arm bushings all contribute to the solid and predictable steering of this truck. It's tight, and right! The front end also features new Crown drop springs with new Bilstein shocks. The rear has de-arched leaf springs with Belltech lowering shocks. This truck has 4 wheel disc power brakes with 4 new calipers and new brake pads all around. All 5 brake lines have been updated to Russell stainless braided lines for a solid pedal feel. I have installed a new brake booster, master cylinder, proportioning valve combo to complete brake system overhaul. All lines have been flushed with DOT 4 synthetic fluid. New 15" smoothie wheels with center caps, and Coker wide white walls have been installed. COOLING SYSTEM Brand new show quality 2 row aluminum radiator, with integrated trans cooler. Trans cooler lines were upgraded to stainless braided lines with AN fittings. I also have 2 10" electric fans on an automatic thermostat switch, and a 15" mechanical fan. This truck stays cool! WIRE HARNESS & ELECTRICAL Wiring is all new, headlights and tail lights work as expected, including high beams. This truck has no turn signals, but could easily be wired up for this. All brand new Autometer Phantom gauges have been installed to display fuel, oil pressure, coolant temp, and battery voltage. INTERIOR I decided to keep the original patina in the interior, and it is dressed up with custom pin striping, custom art work on the glove box door, and a beer tap shifter. The comfortable bench seat is covered in a Mexican blanket to give it a unique look. GLASS The front and rear windshields are brand new with new seals. Both doors still retain the original glass, and the triangle windows actually open and close. The drivers window regulator needs to be replaced, and the glass is currently not installed....but will come with the truck HOW DOES IT RIDE? Brakes have excellent response, engine and transmission are strong and can easily cruise 80 down the road with no problem. This truck rides very smooth, and is easy to take anywhere PLEASE NOTE: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO SHIP UNTIL OCTOBER 12TH. IT IS BEING USED IN A PRIVATE PHOTO SHOOT THE DAY BEFORE. I have a lot of time invested in this one-of-a-kind shop truck. It's a real head turner, and so much fun to drive. Please contact me with any further questions. Serious bidders only please. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as it is for sale locally.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.
Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty Power Stroke
Tue, 29 Jul 2014What weighs 30,000 pounds? Big Ben's Westminster bell. A navy ship anchor. Or as we found out during our first drive program for the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty, seven pallets of cinder blocks loaded onto a dual-axle gooseneck trailer. The test was part of a raft of towing demonstrations that showcased the new Super Duty's impressive tug capacity, which maxes out at 32,100 pounds. That's 1,200 more than its nearest rival, the Ram 3500, when equipped with its upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8. Such is the heavy-duty pickup truck business, a diesel-fueled game of one-upmanship with only three players: Ford, Chevrolet/GMC and Ram. And in this game, the one with the most torque wins.
Until 2014, Ford was the one to beat, with its 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel bringing 400 hp and a massive 800 lb-ft of torque to the table. Then last year, Ram did exactly that, serving Ford with a beefed-up Cummins turbodiesel inline-six in its freshened Ram Heavy Duty truck line with 385 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to tow up to 30,000 pounds. But Ford claims it had designed its engine to be relatively easy to upgrade when the time called for it, so for 2015, Ford bolted a larger turbo to the Power Stroke, bringing output to an insane 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of twist, all without reducing fuel efficiency. Maximum tow capacity rises from 24,700 lbs to an incredible 31,200 lbs for the F-450 dually.
As for GM's HDs? They lag behind the lot with their 6.6-liter Duramax V-8, producing 397 hp and 765 lb-ft of torque. Yeah, you know things are serious when the trucks with 765 lb-ft are the knock-kneed wimps of the lot.
