1937 Ford Truck Downs Body, 4.6 Mod Motor, Fuel inj, 70mm Turbo, Auto, Wow!

1937 Ford Truck

It took 3 ½ years and hundreds of hours of labor for Reasonable Rides and Rods to build this one of a kind 1937 Ford Truck. Starting as a roller, his truck was painstakingly built into a show quality and extremely potent street rod. If Ford started producing new 1937 trucks, his would be their prototype. It's a Ford powered by a Ford and titled as a 1937 Ford Truck. Make us an offer. We are motivated to sell!

Body/Paint

The body is a Downs Manufacturing 1937 Ford Truck. The cab, unning boards, enders and hood are all fiberglass, nd the bed is all steel. Each panel was meticulously worked prior to paint. The rear fenders were widened 3 inches to handle a much wider tire. The running boards were modified to accommodate the wider fenders. This approach was taken rather than tubbing the truck to keep the wider stance for driving quality. Every piece and panel was painted individually before assembling the truck. American Body Works applied the classic Grabber Blue paint and custom Ford script on the tailgate. The hood is a custom tilt-forward hood for access to the engine. The wood in the bed is black and has been clear-coated with stainless steel strips. The paint is flawless and show quality. It’s a timeless color that will never go out of style.

Engine/Trans

The engine in this truck is a new 2004 Ford 4.6 SOHC mod motor. It came directly from Ford and had 0 miles prior to install. While potent enough in NA form for this light vehicle, t has a slight twist to it…it’s Turbocharged! A one-off custom rear mount 70mm turbo pushes a conservative 7 lbs of boost. This is not someone’s kit, ut rather a hand built turbo system made to compliment the other modifications to the engine. The cams are mild upgrades from stock and work well with the turbo. The original factory fuel injection was eliminated and a Professional Products Powerjection III unit was installed on top of a Edelbrock intake. This gives it the look of an “old school” carbureted truck, ith the performance of fuel injection. The Powerjection III can handle up to 20 lbs of boost and has upgraded injectors to handle the boost. The Powerjection III and MSD controller have been custom tuned with the correct spark curve and fuel curves for this beast. All of the components complement each other well and this truck is incredibly fast.

The transmission is a new 4R75W overdrive automatic. It utilizes an Optishift controller that has fully adjustable shift points. The combination of overdrive and 3.70 rear gears makes driving the truck in town or on a long trip very pleasurable.

Suspension

A custom built frame is the base for the truck. The front suspension is a Mustang II style with tubular upper and lower control arms combined with QA1 coil-over shocks that are fully adjustable. A power rack handles the steering. The rear suspension is a 4-link set up with a bullet-proof 9 inch rear end with 3.70 gears. The rear shocks are QA1 coil-over units as well. We decided against an air bag suspension for ride quality, lthough the stance is still fully adjustable. The brakes are power disc around and it stops on a dime.

Interior

The interior is a combination of black leather and suede. Low back bucket seats were custom stitched and fit perfectly in the interior. To give it that classic look, he seat inserts and door panels are diamond stich suede with blue thread. The dash is covered with leather along with the custom console. Door and window switches are hidden in a sliding panel in the console. The headliner is full suede from the front of the cab to behind the rear seats. A Jensen touch screen head unit is installed with front kick speakers and a 10 inch sub mounted in a custom storage compartment behind the seats. The gauges are AutoMeter Street Rod Series. The shifter is a Lokar short shifter and the overdrive button is located in the console. The Vintage Air system is controlled by an auto temperature control unit from Dakota Digital. There are many custom features to the interior.

Tire/Wheels

The truck rides on 18 inch Boyd’s with Nitto 215/35-18 front tires and 295/45-18 rear tires.

Overall

You won’t find a nicer street rod than this 1937 Ford. The truck is titled as a 1937 Ford and is a clear Texas title. It has fantastic street manors and can be driven anywhere. It’s likely to win every show that you enter it in. Everything on the truck is new. We want to sell this truck to fund other projects, o make us an offer. We're motivated to sell. International buyers are welcome.
