Built as an appealing mix of retro style and modern performance this cool pickup is a direct result of what happens when a roster of top notch components meets timeless Ford steel. And if you're a discerning rodder who's looking for a classic with a little more substance than chrome and bright paint it's your one-way ticket to bigger and better things! Owned by the same family for the first 86 years of its 87-year existence this awesome custom's tidy fuselage began life as authentic Ford steel ...that during a 2-year ground-up restoration was stripped solidified and fully refinished. When that 1996 transformation was almost complete the truck's profile donned custom 2-stage that began as '50s Chevrolet Tropical Turquoise base. Lift the tapered hood and you'll find a hot GM Performance Parts ZZ4 350 that utilizes a forged crank powdered rods a hydraulic cam and hypereutectic pistons to turn stout 10 to 1 compression into 355 horsepower and 405 lb./ft. of torque. Behind that hot small block a proven 700R4 4-speed twists torque to a 9-inch Ford axle. That limited-slip differential funnels power through a 4-bar rear-clip that's finished with modern coil-over-shocks. That fully sorted suspension pushes a solid axle front-half that's finished with traditional mirrored shocks. That polished TCI suspension is stopped by four power-assisted discs. Everything rolls on polished Halibrand wheels which twist polished spinners inside two 195/75R14 Michelin RainForce MX4s and two 235/75R15 Michelin RainForce MX4s. And between the doors you'll find a custom leather interior that was installed by The Hot Rod Shop of Summerville South Carolina.
