THIS TRUCK IS UNBELIEVABLE !!! The entire project took more than a year to complete and at a cost of well over $150,000 !!! A six door truck conversion cost $54k just to stretch your donor vehicle !!! The truck was purchased as a BRAND NEW crew cab Lariat XLT cab and chassis from an Authorized Ford dealership with 0 miles on the clock and then the transformation began. A Brand New entire cab assembly and bed/fender assembly was also purchased from the Ford dealership in order to convert this trucks cab into a 6 door and to modify the short dually bed. THERE WERE NO SALVAGE OR REPRO PARTS USED ANYWHERE IN THIS BUILD !!! Now let's go more in depth on what this truck offers in customized features. We felt that if the fuel tank had to be relocated, why not make it large or better yet really large for long distance traveling ? There is a 100 gallon custom fuel cell that runs the length of the drivers side (underneath) and it has a custom electric blower system to displace the fumes. The truck has a completely custom air bag system with Commercial Duty Firestone Airide air bags and an on-board Heavy Duty compressor with external valves. There is also a custom fabricated trailer hitch with a tow capacity of 20,000 lbs. Needless to say it has never even had a trailer tongue installed in it because this truck has never towed anything ! It has electric trailer brakes with an in-cab controller as well. Installed on the front and rear are Road Armor bumpers and a front tubular Road Armor grill guard. A set of tubular side nerf bars were custom fabricated to simulate the exact style and look of the Road Armor bumpers. Genuine PIAA offroad lights were installed in the front and rear bumpers. The front bumper has a Warn 12,000 lbs electric wench with the optional remote control. In the bed of the truck there is a under the bed rail black anodized Trail FX tool box and locking roll-up hard bed cover. The bed and tailgate are of course Rhino lined. The truck sports a set of custom 19.5'' polished forged aluminum Brentz wheels with a brand new full size Brentz aluminum matching spare with Goodyear tire in the bed. The wheels are wrapped in Goodyear 245/70R19.5 all terrain tires which have plenty of life left on them. Now let's discuss the interior of this vehicle .... THIS INTERIOR IS INSANE !!!! Everything , everywhere is covered in brown Alcatara suede and Italian leather !!!! The entire dashboard (top and bottom) ,kick panels, A,B,C and D pillars, headliner, sun visors, door panels etc... are all covered in yards of luxurious suede. Even the carpet and floormats were replaced with custom cut matching brown pile, which goes to show that everything about this truck was meticulously designed and well thought out. The seats are custom bolster seats with lumbar support that were refinished in Italian leather with simulated ostrich inserts. The rear seating is a custom 3 panel seat that reclines electrically and can lay perfectly flat in order to make a bed. One of the trucks electronic interior amenities is Direct TV satellite. There is a custom 40" Sharp Aquos plasma that electrically drops down from the ceiling for viewing and electrically raises back up and out of sight when you are finished viewing. The satellite dish is on top of the truck, concealed by a roof mounted steel/painted cover. There is also a dash mounted Pioneer DVD player (with back-up camera), a sun visor monitor and a separate DVD player for the rear so that the driver and front passenger can watch a separate DVD or source than the rear passengers simultaneously. The truck is protected by a Clifford remote start alarm with an LCD readout. I'm sure that after all I've written I've still forgotten to mention many key features of this one of a kind truck

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
2015 Ford F-150 spied in the rain
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Standing as quite a contrast from the spy shots of the 2015 Ford Mustang we saw earlier today, our spies also sent along these pictures of the next-generation F-150 pickup out testing in its (heavily camouflaged) full prototype body. Much of the new truck's design is hidden under the bulky coveralls, but we expect a lot of its new lines to be inspired by the Atlas concept that debuted at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
Perhaps the biggest unknown surrounding the new F-150 is what, exactly, its body will be made of. Earlier reports have suggested that lightweight aluminum materials may be used throughout, offering a serious reduction in weight versus previous models. But Ford engineers will need to be careful, though, as they need to keep a tight rein on costs while preserving class-competitive (if not class-leading) towing and payload capacity.
On the powertrain front, the new F-150 will undoubtedly carry on with EcoBoost engines, and we'd bet on a normally aspirated V8 as well. A diesel option hasn't been confirmed, but we wouldn't be surprised to see one some time in the truck's lifecycle. Mum's the word on when the production F-150 will be revealed, but our best guess is that we'll see it at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
