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!

Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.

Don't look for a tremendous shifts in automotive market share over the next three years because it might not be coming. That's at least according to the annual Car Wars report by John Murphy, from Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research.
In the report's analysis of automakers' market share from 2013 to 2017, it predicts only small changes among the major companies. Ford and Honda see the biggest positive effect with an estimated 0.5 percent increase in their shares over the next three years; to 16.2 percent and 10.3 percent respectively. On the flip side, European automakers and Nissan are expected to lose 0.2 percent each to fall to 8.3 percent and 7.8 percent each respectively. The rest of the industry is predicted to hold steady as it is now.
The biggest loser in that prediction might be Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The report certainly throws a wet blanket on its plan for significant gains in market share. Murphy told The Detroit News that the company's goal was "almost unattainable."

A problem with the fuel line on certain examples of the Ford Edge has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall. The issue revolves around the metal housing on the fuel line pulse damper, which was apparently improperly manufactured in the first place and is prone to crack in certain circumstances, leading to a fuel leak. And as we all know, a fuel leak is not a good thing.
The problem affects model year 2012 and 2013 Edge crossovers equipped with the 2.0-liter engine and manufactured between September 2, 2010 and April 25, 2013 - a total of 27,933 units. Although the Lincoln MKX is closely related to the Edge, since it isn't offered with the same engine (to which the problem is related), the recall does not include the premium-badged version. See the recall notice below for further details.
