What a nice old pickup... ohand#44; wait a minuteand#44; check out the stance. Those giant tires. The sound of the exhaust. Noand#44; this isnt just some old pickupand#44; this is a nasty pro-street F-100 with equal parts luxury and horsepowerand#44; making for the ideal iron fist in a silk glove. Before we get to all the horsepowerand#44; lets take a minute to admire just how good this truck looks. It was finished in the 1990sand#44; but the paint (an Explorer hue called Dark Cranberry) is holding up beautifully. Obviously that comes from excellent prep and careand#44; and the detail work shown on this truck suggests that it was a very expensive build. Panel fit is excellentand#44; the doors open and close easilyand#44; and that big hood snugs down neatly against the fenders. A few tasteful modifications include shaving some trimand#44; a custom tailgate with built-in taillightsand#44; and subtle pinstripes that highlight the trucks original sheetmetal curves. You also get some sport mirrors on the doorsand#44; replacing the clunky originals and a rear roll pan with integral license plate frame. It does show a few signs of use and ageand#44; but this is a very well-maintained truckand#44; and as suchand#44; you can still roll into a show and attract a lot of attention with it. You can probably still haul stuff in the bedand#44; tooand#44; although with the oversized wheel tubsand#44; youll have to use some care. The leather-lined interior isnt quite what youd expect from a pro-street pickupand#44; but its comfortable and beautifully built. The power seats are from a late-model Cadillac and fit neatly in the Fords reasonably spacious cab. A custom center console was created to sit between themand#44; and it includes cup holders and controls for the power windows and Vintage Air A/C system. The original dash was filled with handsome Ford Motorsports gauges and a late-model Ford truck steering wheel was dropped on the original columnand#44; so it has an OEM look and feel. Theres an AM/FM/cassette stereo in the center of the dash and luxury features like power windows and locks were added during the build. Its all quite neat and tastefuland#44; and the contrast with the insane performance is very appealing. Get in and cruise or get in and raceand#44; its happy doing both. The reason its so good at going fast is the 460 cubic inch V8 under the hood. Beautifully detailedand#44; it might make you forget that its a massive horsepower factory. The Dove heads are ported and polishedand#44; fed by a Weiand intake with an 850 Holley double-pumper thats been blueprinted to flow about 935 CFM. Theres a rather large cam inside and a high output Ford SVO ignition system lights it up. A giant 4-core heavy-duty radiator from an F350 keeps it cool. Its beautifully finished in Ford Blue with traditional Thunderbolt-style air cleaner and aluminum valve coversand#44; so everyone will recognize that this is true Blue Oval performance. The hoses and wires are quite neatly routed in a way thatll make you proud to show off the engine bayand#44; too. A built C6 3-speed automatic transmission is one of the few that will withstand the massive torqueand#44; and theres a narrowed 9-inch on a 4-link out back to put it all down. Long-tube headers and Flowmaster mufflers give it a ferocious barkand#44; but it rides rather welland#44; especially with the Ford LTD independent suspension up front. Steel wheels are a great look on any pickupand#44; and these work especially welland#44; with custom extra-wide 15x10 rims in back to handle the oversized Pro Trac tires. Deceptively handsome and insanely fastand#44; this truck does almost everything well. Its an easy cruiser but there arent many street cars that can keep up with it. Love the lookand#44; but youll enjoy the performance even more. Call today! |
