Freshly built this truck has had several modifications done to it to enhance the natural beauty of the Ford design team. It has 3" wider rear fenders, custom full length and deeper running boards molded to the rear and front fenders. All body seams welded all emblems shaved. Windshield wiper drive stems accented with billet aluminum covers, powder coated door pulls and engine components, premium foil backed Dynamat sound deadner applied every where in the cab area (you can talk on the cell phone while driving 70mph down the freeway and hear the phone very well). Upholstery done by Frankie Martinez @ legendary Kool kustoms yuba city ca. Interior headliner is Mercedes black, the lower dash is vinyl covered for the high tech look. Vintage air-conditioner and heater, have had trouble with leaks in the air conditioner -- have not had that issue resolved, but the heat and exhaust run fine. 100 lbs of Dynamat was used on every surface accessible, both on the inside and the outer shell of the doors. Second Skin spray on mineral dampening compound sprayed under the entire cab and dash to reduce the tin can sound of an old truck. The truck is exceptionally quiet going down the road, except the for the exhaust system. See the video for a sound bite of the truck take off. The muffler system was also taken from the Saleen Mustang and has an X pipe and the Saleen tuned stainless mufflers.

THE SOUND OF THE TRUCK IS ENTIRELY AWESOME.

4.6 liter Modular Motor with 60,000 miles on it -- A Trickflow all metal intake manifold was installed and a Fran Low Restriction serviceable air filter.

The most impressive feature of the Truck is the eye catching Pie Cut on the hood.

With a whole 2.75 inchs taken out of the hood the downward angle of the entire front end is true to Hot Rod form and greatly enhances the downward slope of the Hot Rod. This is a $6,000 endeavor -- see photos. The stock rib was also removed going down the center of the hood. Under the hood, firewall, the inner fender wells, the inside of the fenders and under the cab were all coated with Armacoating to reduce road noise from permeating from the cab and reduce rock chip damage. The front and rear bumpers were removed and an inner bumper was fabricated behind the rear sheet metal to protect against impact to the gas tank. Paint done by Hector Ramirez, Chico, CA. Entire truck is paint, no pin striping. The three color paint goes behind the cab, around the bed and even into the engine department. No cost was spared on body work and paint. Three clear coats, buffed and cut. All glass is new, tinted on the sides and back. This is a custom cab but has all the trim shaven. The bed is by Pro's Pick made in Canada and has been tubbed for even wider tires if you so desire. The entire bed has been Armacoated. LED brake lights by Lokar, front headlights are German made Bosch.

*Flaming river tilt wheel steering column coupled to a rack and pinion non power steering system -- please note this does not have power steering -- not much of an issue -- a little extra effort to steer while you are moving slowly.

* Four wheel hydraulic disc brakes with vacuum assisted power brake booster supplied by TCI (Total Cost Involved)

* TCI independent Mustang II type front suspension system, all stainless steel. Slotted and drilled rotors by Willwood -- front only, stock Mustang disc brakes in the rear.

* 4-link suspension kit also made by TCI, half stainless steel, half satin black. Truck does not have an emergency brake.

* Truck is super smooth going down the road, drives like a car. No roll at all when you are cornering.

* The truck has clear title and is currently registered in California -- it is registered as a 1955 but it is a 1956 -- DMV error.

THIS TRUCK IS A REAL EYE CATCHER!!

One of the first trucks with this paint scheme and was a hit at the shows we attended. If you were to hire someone to build this truck it would cost $125k. This hot rod isn't perfect but it is spectacular as the photos show, there is one small impression on the paint below the passenger door handle. There are some paint issues on driver's side rear stake pocket at the bottom.

If you are like everyone else, you will be OVERWHELMED by the build of the truck.
