Youre looking at an American hero turned into an American superstar. This 1946 Ford pickup represented the return to civilian production after WWIIand#44; and today it has been restored over every inch (even the undercarriage) to be a shinning classic with a comfortable A/C interior and a performance heart. Trucks went into civilian production even before cars after WWII simply because we needed these workhorses to get us moving forward. But as you can see today this pickups original mission was overand#44; and it has been given a special assignment. Someone spent a lot of time and money erasing the workman past on this one and replacing it with straight steel and a shade of burgundy that has been clearcoated to a mirror-like shine. The tough industrial look of the front end has been transformed with frenched in lights and a grille/bumper package that shines as bright as the paint. The profile has been beefed up with fender flairsand#44; shaved door handlesand#44; port mirrorsand#44; and running boards that now have tough liner paint. In the rearand#44; the real wood bed has an eclectically lifting center board to get to the gas tankand#44; and the custom taillight package complete this premium appearance. And the final touch to let everyone know theres something special here is a set of large 17-inch Billet Specialties alloys filling the wheel wells. These might pre-date Fords F-series lineand#44; but this truck is more comfortable than a modern pickup on the inside. The custom contoured tan leather bench has been expertly blended into the door panels and headliner that its often tough to see where the seat ends and the rest of the interior begins. There is a custom center console with a Lokar shifterand#44; cup holdersand#44; and switches for the power windows. Just above that are the controls for the ice-cold R134a air conditioning. You get a Billet Specialties wood steering wheel with an alloy frame that is similar to the exterior wheels. Beyond that is a full set of Dakota Digital gauges that provide all the info in a modern blue glow. While youve seen plenty of custom work on the interior and exteriorand#44; the best is saved for under the hood. Peek beneath the custom body-colored paneland#44; and youll see a modern 5.7-liter LS1 V8. Fitted with long tube headers and a Flowmaster dual exhaustand#44; the fuel-injected powerplant borrowed from the C5 Corvette program is a serious power upgrade...and its only the beginning of this trucks performance components. When you look underneathand#44; the full burgundy paintwork really tells you the quality of this build. And upon closer inspectionand#44; youll also spot upgrades like the Mustang II-style independent front suspensionand#44; tubular control armsand#44; and three-link coilover rear. It makes for a fantastic total performance packageand#44; but thats not the pickups full story. Theres also power steeringand#44; front disc brakesand#44; and 4L60 four-speed automatic transmission with highway friendly overdrive. So this custom pickup is a great anytime driver. Youve looking at a full custom build that is just as adept at taking home all the awards as it is staying cool on the morning commute. Its the true classic that can do it alland#44; and with less than 80 miles on this buildand#44; why wouldnt you. Something this special wont last long in our showroom. Call today!!! |
