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!

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.

A factory-backed body kit by 3dCarbon is now available to Ford Fusion owners who want their car to stand out from the crowd while not being too flashy. The body kit adds a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear body trim and spoiler that are, in fact, integrated quite nicely into the Fusion's already-comely styling, just as 3dCarbon claims. All Fusions with the kit also receive dual exhaust ports with the stainless-steel exhaust surrounds usually reserved for the Titanium package Fusion EcoBoost models.
A nice detail of 3dCarbon's injection-molded urethane body kit is that it has undergone crash testing to certify that it can withstand crashes up to five miles per hour. Because of this, the kit is warrantied by 3dCarbon for five years or 50,000 miles, much like Ford's warranty on its own parts. In fact, the kit is available through participating Ford dealers and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit. Buyers can purchase the kit - pre-painted or unpainted - and install it themselves, or it can be purchased with a new Ford Fusion and installed at the dealer, pre-painted to factory specifications. Of course, it can also be ordered directly from the source. Take a look at the press release below for more detailed information on the body kit, and let us know what you think of it in Comments.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
