Offered to you in this auction by Rusty Nuts Originals is a wicked cool 63 Uni Rat Rod truck. This truck has tons of character and always steals the show! This is not your little sisters truck, its covered in rust and satin cleared original paint. It was a former electrical service truck out of Melbourne Florida with 49k original miles. It has a perfect running inline original 6 cylinder and a 3 speed on the column transmission. It runs like a top and drives like a straight axle Cadillac. Both front and rear axles have been flipped lowering the truck about 3 inches. It also has period steelies and Coker wide whitewalls that are roughly 85% and a rough cut lumber bed floor. Its not the fastest thing in the world but it runs great and drives just as good, no sloppy steering and no wondering all over the road. It has a recovered factory seat with liscense plate head liner. All the guages, turn signals, headlights, cab lights and heat all work properly. It also has completely new brakes on all 4 corners, come drive it home! It needs absolutely nothing but a new owner! As it sits, $4500 will buy it but I also have a couple of drivetrain options that we'd be willing to build for the right customer at the right price. At $6500, I will install a SBF 351W and FMX automatic transmission, that deal would drive it home, complete with the 351 and auto trans, new exhaust and new drive shaft. If you're interested in that option or have something else in mind or just have questions on the truck, you can contact the shop at 864 387 6887 or 864 449 8421 after 6pm EST or shoot us a direct email at andy@rustynutsoriginals.com.

These horribly misguided front-drive design studies nearly became the Mustang
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As we eagerly await the unveiling of the all-new sixth-generation Mustang, Ford has been giving us some great information over the past few months showing what has gone into shaping its venerable pony car. As many changes as the Mustang has gone through in its 50 years, though, it appears the fourth-gen model played a decisive and pivotal role in the car's future.
As is part of Mustang lore, the front-wheel drive Ford Probe was originally developed as a next-generation Mustang in the Eighties before cooler heads prevailed. The Blue Oval has just released a handful of images showing how bad things could have been - including a full-scale clay model of a front-wheel-drive Mustang (shown above). Fortunately, the FWD Mustang plan was scrapped and Ford went to work designing a rear-wheel-drive replacement for the Fox Body Mustang, with three design studies making it far enough to become full-scale models. These include the soft "Bruce Jenner" Mustang, the over-the-top "Rambo" Mustang and the middle-ground "Arnold Schwarzenegger" Mustang, which finally became the basis for the 1994 'Stang.
By early 1991, the design language of the fourth-generation Mustang had been worked out, and the rest, they say, is history. Scroll down for the fascinating press release telling the story of the fourth-gen Mustang, and be sure to check out the gallery of horribly misguided sketches and various design studies that were all on the table in the late 1980s.
70% of pickups could use aluminum by 2025
Wed, 11 Jun 2014In the next decade, the auto industry will see an explosion in its use of aluminum to cut weight and increase fuel economy, according to a study from market analysts Ducker Worldwide cited by The Detroit News. We are already seeing the lightweight metal show up extensively in luxury models from Europe, but with the impending launch of aluminum-intensive 2015 Ford F-150 (pictured above), North America is using it even more, as well. The report predicts 70 percent of US pickups to have aluminum bodies by 2025.
It won't just be pickups that see the benefit, though. The average amount of aluminum in US vehicles is forecasted by the study to grow from an average of 350 pounds in 2013 to about 550 pounds by 2025. The most common parts to use it will be hoods, doors and - to some extent - roofs, as well.
The massive increase in pickups' aluminum content hardly seems surprising. The F-150 is predicted to use so much that it might cause a short-term shortage, according to one earlier report. At the same time General Motors is heavily rumored to be negotiating with suppliers for the next generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. Ram is the last holdout of the Big Three, but the study predicts that not to last.
Why Ford's Alan Mulally would be right for Microsoft, or any company
Thu, 03 Oct 2013
That Mulally was seriously being considered says a great deal about Microsoft and Mulally.
It appears that the chatter about Ford CEO Alan Mulally possibly leaving early to take over as CEO of Microsoft is losing air pretty fast. What's pretty interesting is that it got any traction in the first place.
