1953 Ford F100, Custom, Hot Rod,
Low Rod, Classic, Pickup Chopped Top This truck is not a trailer queen
and has never been in or on a trailer to my knowledge. It’s a driver and comes
complete with minor nicks, chips, and drips. Its show quality but not of the
concourse de elegance variety. Starting from the ground: The tires
are Goodrich 225/70R15 in front and Goodrich 255/70R15 in the rear. The wheels,
like the steering wheel, are billet Budniks. The front end is a Heidts, the
rear end is a big Lincoln with an emergency brake disk which actually works.
The truck has four wheel disk brakes. The suspension is constructed with
Firestone Air Ride components and controlled with Ride Tech controls
controlling all four corners independently. The air is supplied by two
compressors that feed the holding tank. The system has an external Schrader
valve to manually inflate the system should the need arise. The rear is
supported by a four link and panhard bar system. The frame is a stock 1953 Ford
that has been “C” notched to allow the truck to drop to the ground. The pickup
bed floor has been raised 3” to accommodate the differential when the truck is
lowered so that the bed floor remains flat. There is a battery shut off switch
accessible behind a wheel. The gas tank is under the bed and fills through a
cover in the bed. The gas tank is an aluminum 17 gallon “No Limit” tank. The
exhaust system is a dual “flow master” style setup with ceramic block hugger
headers (the photos were taken before the ceramic headers were installed). One
of the photos shows Corvette style pipes coming out just in front of the rear
wheels. That system has been replaced with the one just described. The engine
is a bored out 396 with a mild cam backed by a turbo 400 transmission. The
headlights are 7” Adjure Tri Bar Blue Dots. The turn signal, brake, and tail
lights are all LEDs. The red LED lights in the ends of the bed rail tubes are
Pro’s Pick “Bed Roll Hot Lites”. They are also tail, brake, and turn signals.
The bed tonneau lifts are also by Pro’s Pick. The tonneau cover its self
consists of a box metal frame covered with convertible top fabric but I don’t
believe it is a Pro’s Pick product (came with the truck). The door mirrors are
“Visions” purchased from Pro’s Pick. The truck is all metal with the exception
of the wide rear fenders. The rear fenders are fiberglass and were installed to
accommodate the width of the Lincoln rear end. The cab is chopped approximately
3”. The steering column is GM. The tach and speedometer are Autometer, the
battery, oil, temp, and gas gauges are VDOs mounted on a Dolphin billet panel.
The interior door handles, window cranks, pedals, and misc knobs are all Billet
Specialties. The heat and conditioning are provided by Vintage Air. The stereo
is a custom designed Pioneer face off with a remote face on the A/C ducting.
The stereo has an auxiliary I-Pod cable, out of sight, under the edge of the
seat. The disc changer is behind the “Glide” seat in a speaker cabinet and is
not accessible. The cabinet behind the seat also contains the bass speaker, an
amp, and the hidden radio antenna. The stereo speakers are in the kick panels. There
are two chrome fire extinguishers located at the ends of the seat and slightly
behind it and out of sight. The graphics, brush drawings, pin striping, and air
brush artistry are the work of Mark Lueck of Mark Lueck’s Art and Design in El
Cajon, California. Mark’s works appear in the NHRA Museum, Past Time Signs, Hot
Rod Magazine, as well as Sea World San Diego and many other locations. Mark’s
website has many samples of his work. The deceased rock star caricatures
depicted on the hood mural have a theme to them that accompanies the history of
hot Roding that will be shared with the buyer. The art and stylings of the late
Von Dutch and Ed Roth can be seen in the mural and other artwork. HOOD
PICTURES ARE OF: ELVIS, WOLFMAN JACK, JANIS JOPLIN, JIMI HENDRIX (2), EDDIE
COCHRAN, DIMEBAG DARREL, BO DIDDLEY, JIM MORRISON, JOHN LENNON, JERRY GARCIA,
AIRPLANE AND THREE STARS ARE FOR THE BIG BOPPER, RITCHIE VALENS, AND BUDDY
HOLLY. The light area across Janice’s face
is a reflection off the radiator and not a flaw in the painting. NO, the hood
is not for sale by its self. Yes, I’ve been asked to sell just it. The photos were taken at various times and the truck hadn’t
been completed when some of the photos were taken. It has been awarded dozens
trophies. Several are for Best in Show, Best in Class, and First Place. It was
awarded the Bad To The Bone Award at the San Diego chapter of Pick Ups Limited
2009 Picnic that included many of their northern chapter trucks as well. It has
even been awarded Best Hot Rod and First Place Hot Rod trophies at various car
shows and Low Rider car shows. It received Best Pick Up and was selected out of
over 500 cars at the twenty second annual Vista Burger Run (San Diego County’s
largest one day, pre 1972 car show) to be featured on “Whipnotic” (January
2009). Its appeal seems to be very wide spread as several car show producers
have said it would certainly get a Most Photographed award if there was such a
thing. The trophies pictured with the truck are just some of
trophies it has been awarded. The buyer is welcome to most of them if wanted. I highly recommend that serious bidders examine, or have, the
truck examined, before they bid as the truck is to be “sold as is” with no
warranties or refunds. The truck is being offered locally, for sale or TRADE, and
may be pulled from the auction if a deal is reached prior to the end of the
auction. A ten percent (of sale price) non refundable deposit, in US
dollars (USD), is required within three working days of the auction’s end. Full
CASH payment must be made in person, in US DOLLARS, and must be paid within ten
working days of the auction’s end. The truck must be picked up from the seller
as NO SHIPPING will be provided. I will work with the buyer/buyer’s shipper to
help facilitate a shipment but will not be responsible for the shipping. The truck
must be picked up and paid for in full within fourteen days of the end of the
auction. NO STORAGE will be provided. THANX FOR LOOKING. If the past repeats
its self it will be seen nearly a thousand times a day. |

Martin Smith retires, Joel Piaskowski in as Ford Europe design chief
Thu, 29 May 2014The mind behind the look of much of the modern Ford global range is retiring. Martin Smith, Head of Ford Design in Europe, will give up his position on July 1 and will leave the company altogether at the end of the year. He will be replaced by current Strategic Concepts Group leader Joel Piaskowski (pictured above).
Smith has led Ford of Europe design for the past 10 years, and he was partially responsible for the brand's Kinetic Design language with a large grille and swept-back headlights found on the Focus, Fiesta and C-Max, as well as several other vehicles abroad. After stepping down on July 1 until his retirement at the end of 2014, Smith will work on a project to decide the future direction of the company's look with Moray Callum, its vice president of design.
Piaskowski already has some impressive credentials in terms of automotive design as well. He joined Ford in 2010 as director of exterior design and led the teams responsible for the 2015 Ford Mustang and next-generation F-150. He was also previously design director at Ford Asia Pacific. Before working at the Blue Oval, Piaskowski held positions at Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and General Motors. Scroll down to read the complete announcement of this changing of the guard.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
Leno talks racing with NASCAR racer Joey Logano
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Jay Leno has to be under significant pressure knowing the appetite his fans have for a new Jay Leno's Garage video every week. This time, Jay takes a break from his usual format (something he's been doing with some frequency as of late) and goes back to his roots as a talk show host. There's no classic in the garage his episode with an interesting story to tell and a sumptuous exhaust note. Instead, the focus is purely on interviewing 23-year-old NASCAR racer Joey Logano about what it's like to be a racecar driver in his Ford Fusion.
Logano started racing at the tender age of six and has risen up the circle-track ranks to the big show of the NASCAR Sprint Cup. The two of them talk about what it's like to compete in the sport today compared to yesteryear, and Logano shares some racing anecdotes. Of course, they also get into what it's like to be on the racetrack controlling a car with about 850 horsepower, a four-speed manual transmission and brakes without any power boost. Scroll down to watch the video.
