OK, too many projects, not enough time, space, and money.
So.....up for auction is my '56 F100. Its a labor of love, time, and money. 1st off, I've owned the truck for many years, worked on it, fixed it, built it, changed it, and drove it. It's one of the cleanest bodies I've ever seen on a '56. The paint is absolutely shot, I mean PATINA galore. But the metal is very good. California truck, almost no rust. Raingutters clear, cab corners (4) clear, floors clear, fenders clear. The doors click shut with one finger! The doors, and the fenders, and hood line up very nice. Probably all original sheet metal. Judging by the fit and the finish.
Running gear: It has a very healthy, yet very streetable 350. Edelbrock 4bbl, full length tube headers, camelback (fuelie) 202 heads. Cam, intake, etc. 12 Volt alternator, GM HEI ignition. Very low miles on engine. Dual 2 1/2" pipes with 50 series Flowmasters. Electric choke. Click starts every time! Very dependable, yet healthy, and sounds good. Electric cooling fan. Manually operated, via a switch on the dash.
Built 350 automatic. Stock stall, nice shift kit, and cooler. Just solid, no hard shifts. Built to last. Same, very low miles as engine, and exhaust.
The transmission is hooked up to a balanced driveline, running to a GM factory disc brake rear-end. Running (I'm pretty sure) 3.42 posi. Don't quote me on that, but quite sure. It's set up as a 5bar. 4 bar with coilovers, and a panhard bar. The coilovers are adjustable, as well as the 4 bar setup.
Front suspension: Taken from a mid 70's Z/28 Camaro. Bigger disc brakes, quick ratio power steering, bigger sway bar, and stiffer coil springs. Its got the Hydro boost GM factory brake booster. Not a vacuum booster. This setup works better on engines with lopey cams. Also running a semi rare Tilt/telescopic column from a Cadillac. Very comfortable.
4 wheel, power disc brakes!
Old School Cragar mag wheels. Very good condition for being the original wheels, not repops. 10" and 8" x 15".
Good radial tires. It's got the big and little, down in front attitude look to it!! Get the attention, when I take it out for a spin!
All new wiring, modern fuse panel, several circuits, all clean and tidy.
Interior: Very sparce, all business, New Classic Instrument gauge set. Caddy Tilt/tele column, factory bench seat just recovered in black tuck n roll. Solid floors, new front windshield, and rubber weather stripping. Door glass is cracked, but cheap and easy to replace. I like the cracks, goes with the Rat Rod look.
So, all in all one very well built truck. Built to last, and built to be driven dependably. It is solid.
Needs: my opinion, yours may be different. carpeting, insulation, bed floor, door weatherstripping, door glass, paint, headliner, etc. etc.
Starts, runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The bedwood is missing. Again, kits are available, and fairly cheap. I was just going to run plywood, stain it and put the metal strips over the top. But, never got to it, so you can do it the way you want.
Check my other auction. I'm also selling my '67 El Camino, Chip Foose theme (black/red) 327, 4spd. bad!!
If you have any questions, just send me a message through e-bay, and I'll get back to you asap. Ask before you bid, no surprises. And please, don't bid if you don't have the money, haven't told your wife, no way to ship it. etc. etc. Let's not waste each others time with that stuff. Truck is located in Chico, CA 95973. I can, and will assist with loading it on to a transporter of your choosing, and cost.

Autoblog Minute: New car customer satisfaction down according to latest ACSI report
Wed, Sep 9 2015Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
