Incredibly Kool... this rig will stun you with it's superb quality and attention grabbing presence. Dripping with Traditional Old School style combined with a dash of modern color, this all steel 41 Ford pick-up brings it all together in one mighty fine package. Resting on a very thorough and complete body off restoration, the owner set out to design a rig that maintained its original body style, chassis and even it's original flathead V8 engine, only hopped up a bit :-) Wonderfully Fun, let's dig a little deeper...

During the restoration, the original California all steel body was removed from the factory chassis, stripped to bare metal and massaged to perfection by the owner and "County Rod Shop". Utilizing all of the factory steel body/cab/fenders/hood/doors and completed with steel reproduction bedsides & rear tailgate for the ultimate in whistle straight lines (see restoration photos). Once ready, all body components were delivered to "House of Customs" in Lancaster, Ca for a professional 2 stage PPG Evening Blue finish. All factory jewelry was professionally re-plated and/or replaced with available NOS components. Other notes included an additional stock rear tail-lamp, hand finished hardwoods, hidden tailgate hardware/cables and rolling on Gennie 15" wheels with wide white radials. Lookin good...

The original vin# matching chassis received the same level of serious attention, sand blasted & painted prior to assembly. Plenty of engineered components from "Chassis Engineering" brings the entire traditional ride package together including forged 4" dropped front axle, easy rider multi leaf buggy spring, front sway bar, new bolt on x-member & split wishbone kit, parallel mount rear leaf springs, F/R gas shocks, Flaming River Vega steering box, front Power Disc brake kit, Volare rotors/GM calipers and Ford 9" non-posi rear differential w/3:25 to 1 ratio. Let's move along...
