This is a RAT ROD!!!! NOT A $45,000 hot rod!!! please bid with this in mind.... however, this truck is awesome!!!
THE TRUCK: It's a 1947 Ford for cab with a ton of mismatched parts. The 30's bed is not straight in any kind of way, and it has 50's rear fenders. I got the fenders with some kind of metal work already done to them, and they are misshapen a bit. All metal body is almost completely rust free, and in great condition other than tons of dings, dents and patches. When I say it's in good condition, I am talking about the thickness and quality of the metal and deterioration...not the actual shape. I will say again....this is a RAT ROD!!! THE DRIVELINE: The motor is a 327 sbc, of course I was told it has a cam... I can only go on what it sounds like and what I've been told. It sounds awesome! Open straight pipes, Edelbrock performance intake manifold, HEI distributor, 8mm accel wires, electric fan, Holley carb, new water pump, new thermostat, and new various gaskets and seals. Overall, the motor is in great condition. The transmission is a th350 which is a 3 speed automatic. It has a new filter and new pan gasket and rear seal. Drive shaft is new with new universals and balanced. The front frame is from a Ford Ranger, and I believe the rear end is also. The rear frame is hand fabricated and the passenger side rail is the air tank for the air ride. AIR RIDE: The bags in the front are ss5 slam specialties, the rear I think are Connitech (not sure). I used a Viair 400 compressor with manual paddle valves. This is a slow setup as far as going up and down, however it is a very reliable setup. Manual valves means no frozen valves in the winter, and no electric issues. Viair 400s are, in my mind, the best compressor ever made. I used 1/4 dot airline, once again, very basic yet dependable. The rear suspension is a 2 link with cantilever. Front and rear both have shocks and ride very nice. I pride myself on my bag setups, and have done hundreds of them. THE WHEELS: The wheels right now are 20's from a past project, the tires have good tread on them. If you want, we can work something out, I have a set of white walls that the truck looks good on... it just wasn't the look I was going for. THE INTERIOR: Very bare bones. Just a handmade steering wheel and shifter, and a leather bench seat from a Toyota Sienna. It has an oil gauge and a temperature gauge. That's it. The ignition is a 200amp breaker style key. I always use them because they are very dependable. The cab lights on top do work, and there is a switch on the dash for them. OVERALL: Once again...this is a RAT ROD!!!! The headlights and tail lights work, but no turn signals. I use hand signals. The motor sounds amazing and the tranny shifts well. Cruises around 55/60 very nicely. I've had it over 75, but I don't like seeing rpms over 3,000. Has glass in both windows that is in fair condition, and front and rear glass are there.... I might have the front windows replaced before sale. They are cracked on one side of the glass and are hazzy due to age. ABOUT ME: I own a small Hot Rod/Rat Rod shop called VILLAGE CUSTOMS. Feel free to look up any of my shops work from the past. I have done dozens and dozens of cars and trucks, some with features in magazines. It is very easy to find any of my work on YouTube or Google. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST TRY!!!!! I have done plenty of full custom builds, hundreds of bagged rides, and have had many many happy customers.

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
2015 Ford F-150 to get 2.7-liter EcoBoost?
Mon, 30 Dec 2013As we prepare for the arrival of the all-new, next-generation Ford F-150, rumors about the new truck are picking up steam. Naturally, many of said rumors aren't just related to the way the truck will look (it's expected to take design cues from the Atlas concept shown above), they're tied to what's going to motivate the Blue Oval mainstay, with Ford's EcoBoost range likely to play an increasingly key role. While we're still expecting the current 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 to retain its position as a premium alternative to Ford's naturally aspirated V6 and V8, a Canadian automotive news site is proposing that the Dearborn automaker is also preparing a new, more fuel-efficient downsized EcoBoost option.
Autos.ca is reporting that a new, 2.7-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 could find its way into the lighter, aluminum-intensive truck. The new engine supposedly makes use of asymmetrical turbos to generate 320 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque - substantially more impressive numbers than the current 3.7-liter base engine's 302 ponies and 278 lb-ft - while offering improved fuel economy and emissions. The new 2.7 EcoBoost (internally dubbed "Nano") isn't expected to supplant the naturally aspirated V6 as the F-150's base engine, it's expected to slot in above directly it.
Naturally, we're prescribing more than a few grains of salt to go with these rumors, at least until Ford debuts the next F-150 at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, a reveal we'll be covering in a mere two weeks.
Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
