Had Mr. Ugly and Bad on the auction with no sucess. I also have 2 others to feed as well. So next and last will be Good, and the details are as follows. I have owned this one for at least 15 years now. Had a 390 with auto tranny and power steering on a straight axle. All that is gone now. I got the Mustang II IFS from Fatman Fabrications back east. That kit alone was 2500 bucks by the time I got everything I needed. Power brake assembly came from back east as well, got the paperwork on most everything done to this truck. Installed a rebuilt 351 Windsor motor and rebuilt C6 automatic tranny. Since the front rims were now Ford car pattern I installed a 1971 Cougar rear end with tall 2:76 to 1 gear ratio.
Then due to a faulty Fram oil filter I lost that motor after only 7 K miles. Now has a hotter rebuilt 351 Windsor again with the RV cam and when it hits a certain RPM range it takes off fairly well. Hood is off a 1958 F100 and that is what was on it when I got this truck. Last owner had it for almost 20 years and it had monster tires on it then. He went camping a lot with the truck. Body work is mostly done by a friend of mine. If you look at the roof line you will notice there is no seam going back anymore. It was easier for him to cut and replace the metal rather than trying to create a new seam. But he didn't spot putty glaze anywhere so it would be a couple days more puttying & sanding to get a nice smooth surface. He just primed over some old paint chips, etc. Bottom rear corner of drivers door is showing some rust blisters forming so that should be taken care of. Once that is done then ready for a new coat of paint. Then recover the front seat a a new pair of speakers for the radio and off on a road trip. I am not worried about driving this truck anywhere. Power steering, disc brakes up front with power brakes. Springs were de arched but that has made for no loads in the back. Either re arch the springs or go for airbags or air shocks.
Other than the roof line there wasn`t much rust on this one. Right back door needs a push on the top side to make sure it is latched. The boys at the defunct local auction house couldn't figure out which door to close first them dummies. Lots of money and time into this one for sure. Having 3 panel trucks is not what I really need right now. Will answer any questions, have been a panel truck owner on and off for 30 years. There is a great Ford F-100 club for 1957 to 1960 models only with members all over the world on facebook definitely worth checking out. Thanks all.
Pertronix electronic ignition, 1 wire Chevy alternator, new door window felt kit are some of the other things I forgot to mention.

Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.
Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
