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.

Ford Focus Electric and ST recalled over lighting issue
Mon, 12 Aug 2013Ford is recalling 6,308 units of the 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric and 2013 Focus ST that were fitted with HID headlights because a "wiring incompatibility" could keep the front side marker lights from working. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the recall should begin in the middle of this month, after which owners can take their cars to dealers to have the wiring assembly repaired free of charge.
You can find more information in the NHTSA bulletin posted below.
Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.
