Mustang Taillight Guide

Some cars are built to look different, while some are built to get from point A to point B. As some of you may know, I am a huge Mustang fun. They look great (some generations), they function well, and they do get you from point A to point B, but with character and fun. A defining feature (at least for most generations) of the Mustang is the tri-bar taillight. Yes, the pony emblem obviously, but since that is located on the front and most of Ford’s competition sees the back, well then here is a guide to be able to identify Mustangs by their tail lights. Keep in mind that I am writing this as a compilation of my research. I am not an expert, so while there shouldn’t be any mistakes, very minuscule details may slip past me. This is also about taillights straight from the factory. As time went on, and parts became more “modular”, taillights became one of the most customizable features of the Mustang in terms of aftermark...

US Mail Truck Specs

If you live in the United States, you see these everywhere: the US Postal Service Mail Truck. Recently, I have been very curious about what these things actually are. I mean, no one else uses them, so I had to know what makes them so special. Turns out they actually have a name: the Grumman LLV. LLV stands for Long Life Vehicle, and that is exactly what they were designed to do. The USPS (back in the 1980s) presented a list of requirements to anyone interested in making the next postal vehicle to replace the Jeeps they used before. The Smithsonian Postal Museum has that list: Drive 5,760 miles on a closed loop 5-mile-long paved road at 50 to 55 mph Drive 11,520 miles over a gravel road at 30 to 45 mph Drive 2,880 miles over a road with a shoulder, stopping every 250 feet and accelerating to 15 mph in between Drive 960 miles over cobblestones that ranged from 3 to 4 inches high at 10 to 14 mph Drive 960 miles over potholes at 10 to 14 mph...

Rotting In Style - 1936 Chevy 1.5 Ton Truck

With having about two days off per month now, bringing you quality content is becoming a little tough. So, I figured if I was going to bring you something, it might as well be good. Well, isn’t it always? Regardless, I’m back at Retro and bringing you what appears to be a 1936 Chevy 1.5 ton truck! I was originally told that this was a 1934, but based off a little research, the hood of this truck makes it appear to be at least a 1936. I’m not a truck expert, so I could be wrong. If it is a 1936, that makes this the second oldest vehicle to be featured on Rotting In Style so far. The oldest is a 1934 Austin 7 from the Gabel Collection. That car was known as the “Baby Austin”, but this truck is anything but baby. Now this thing is a truck. It’s wood, steel, and glass. That’s it. It’s one of those, “they don’t build them like they used to” things for sure. Getting the specs on this was easy. The GM Heritage Center has the original ...

Destroyed 1965 Mustang

None of you watch my Rotting in Style videos anymore, but I have more to make, so here you go. Prepare yourself for the worst 1965 Mustang you’ve even seen! This car was filmed and sent to me by a family member in New Jersey a few years ago. When told about it, I asked for the VIN and door tag, so I know stuff about this car! No more guessing! Woo! Side note... Why do cars no do door tags anymore? They offer so much information. Anyway... This 1965 Mustang is obviously a hardtop with was built on June third that came with a standard interior with black vinyl and black trim. It was ordered by the District of Newark NJ (whatever that means), has an axle ratio of 3.50:1, and has a 200 cubic inch inline 6. My notes said I could not make out the door tag number for the transmission, side note, it’s worth noting I don’t have that picture anymore, but I put a question mark and the number 1, which means 3 speed manual. However, this car clearly has an autom...

Car Parts - Engine Bay

It is very important to know the basics of your car. Knowledge like this can help you avoid a hefty bill from a dishonest mechanic, or just help you troubleshoot what may be causing a problem. There are many things you should know, but for today, let’s cover the basics of what is in your engine bay (under your hood). This is going to be simple, and just give you the basic such as how you identify the part, and what it does. I will be showing examples with two vehicles: a 2005 V6 Mustang, and a 2002 Chevy Blazer. This will give you an idea of how these parts can look different depending on what vehicle you are in. Don't forget to see the video located at the bottom of this post. So let’s start… Alternator This is the alternator. You can identify it by its cylindrical shape, and the coiled wire inside. This is basically your car’s generator. When the power from the battery is used to start the car,...
