This was a great candidate to start with as it already had restored paint, trim, and glass. The process began by removing the body from the frame, and then modifying the chassis to take the modern suspension, braking, and drivetrain components. The chassis was then sent off to be media blasted and coated in preparation for final assembly which was completed in 2022. Since completion, the truck has traveled just 2,300 miles!Under the hood is a 5.0L V8 paired with an overdrive automatic transmission, providing modern performance and highway-friendly cruising. The engine is kept cool with a high volume water pump and an Aluminium Radiator with an Electric fan. The chassis was upgraded with Independent Front Suspension which features tubular upper control arms, new bushing, ball joints, shocks, coil springs, rack-and-pinion power steering, and out back we now have a Ford 8.8 rear end with a 4-link suspension and QA1 adjustable Coilovers. Now equipped with four-wheel power disc brakes. The fuel tank was relocated beneath the bed floor, creating more room in the cabin while also improving the overall usability of the truck. Inside, the original-style character has been complemented with modern comforts, including Vintage Air conditioning, a RetroSound radio, new gauges, all new wiring, and fresh upholstery.Build Highlights:302c.i.
