This all-steel Ford pickup is a fully sorted masterpiece that was carefully planned and bolted together by someone who definitely knew their way around a garage. If you've been searching for a super cool hot rod that can be driven and shown with pride, this impressive Ford is the perfect solution!
BODYWORK/TRIM
A trophy winning cruiser that benefitted from a 2013 body-off restoration, this awesome truck began a new life as a show stopping head turner. That restoration began when its voluptuous body was stripped all the way to bare metal. Once that metal was super solid and virtually seamless, a wood bed was complemented with stainless skid strips. A chopped bumper, massaged headlights, tweaked running boards and a custom roll pan joined smoked glass and select trim to provide the simple yet custom perfection that characterizes modern street rodding. And everything not polished was sealed in a smooth coat of brilliant blue 2-stage.
ENGINE
Built by Riverside Machine Shop of Charleston, Tennessee, the truck's serious road chops come in the form of a 351 cubic inch V8. And that block's serious upgrades include being bored and stroked to 408 cubic inches of blue oval bliss. The mean mill's energy mixture is supplied by a big Holley carburetor, which is sandwiched between an Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake and modified Cadillac 'bat wing' air cleaner. That mixture travels in to Pro Line Racing heads, which hang finned valve covers and polished breathers over high quality roller rockers and SRP pistons. That valvetrain combusts thanks to a roller timing set and requisite Comp roller cam. Fire for that combustion comes courtesy of an MSD Blaster 2 coil, an MSD Pro-Billet distributor and loomed Pertronix Flame-Thrower plug wires. That fire is kept in check by a Griffin aluminum radiator, which is mated to a big electric puller fan. Behind that fan, a Billet Specialties Tru Trac system spins a polished Powermaster alternator above a reliable Ford water pump. And spent gases are cycled through coated Sanderson headers.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Behind that engine, a Tremec TKO600 5-speed spins comfortably between a billet steel flywheel, a Street & Performance pressure plate, a McLeod hydraulic clutch and a Lakewood bellhousing. That proven gearbox drives a body-matched Ford 9-inch, which pushes what appears to be a custom, thoroughly reinforced chassis. At the nose of that chassis, a Heidts Superide II front half props the engine up using proven coil-over-shocks and modern rack-and-pinion steering. At the back of that chassis, a modern 4-bar setup utilizes two more coil-overs to maintain ride height and increase grip. 4-wheel disc brakes are a welcome addition and big performance upgrade. There's a coated, mandrel-bent exhaust system that makes good use of polished, glasspack-style mufflers. And everything rides on tough looking Billet Specialties wheels, which spin 215/55R17 BF Goodrich Advantage T/As in front of 305/45R18 Nitto NT05Rs.
INTERIOR
Wrapped in striking Tan leather, this pickup's warm and welcoming interior looks straight out of a vintage Hot Rod magazine. A body-matched dash hangs clean Classic Instruments telemetry, modern Vintage Air climate control and a hidden Custom Autosound radio between polished foot pedals, a polished steering column and a leather-wrapped, banjo-style wheel. In front of that dash, a broad bench seat, partitioned for the driver and one lucky passenger, seems appropriate to the vintage feel of the truck's restoration. And at the bottom of that seat, sleek carpet trims a curved shifter and polished hand brake in a combination of straight leather and mirrored stainless.
With its massaged motor, smooth-shifting 5-speed, comfortable interior and vintage swagger, you'll never tire of finding this custom in your garage. Call, click or visit RKMotorsCharlotte.com to add this classic to your collection today!
