Vehicle Description
The appeal of this 1954 Ford F-100 is as clear as black and white,
literally. Besides the great classic chrome, there nothing but the
two high contrast colors utilized inside and out to emphasize the
raw appeal of this Ford. Oh, but then you lift up the hood, and you
get more color and fury in this very custom build.
You have to love the overall execution of this custom pickup. The
sharp white is contrasted by the most functional elements such as
body gap seals, tires, and protective cover for the real wood truck
bed. And this is already on top of one of the best vintage pickup
designs around. That aggressive forward-canted attitude is further
emphasized by the custom stance. Plus, the curvy bodywork has a
classic old pickup look that also manages to be sporty at the same
time thanks to fiberglass running boards and rear fenders. Are you
starting to get the picture on this one? Good. Because the chrome
on the bumpers, cool chrome grille, and two-piece wheels will drawn
in the crowds just in time for you to flip up the hood (more on
that in a moment.)
Trucks from the 1950s were built to be pure utilitarian machines,
but that history is erased the moment you open the door. The nicely
reupholstered black leather bench seat has padding and pattern
separation for individual comfort. This custom setup even matches
the door panels and headliner. Plus, the center console is a huge
upgrade since the passenger themselves were the only cup holder
than came standard in 1954. The same pristine white on the exterior
returns to dominate the dash, but what sits directly in front of
you is a cool banjo-style three-spoke sports steering wheel. Beyond
that is a full set of AutoMeter gauges. If you look on the dash,
there a few new switches for modern lighting, and there's even one
to electronically reveal that clamshell hood. Yup, just like you,
we're having fantasies of pulling into the cruise-in and lifting
the front without ever getting out of the driver's seat.
One look at the engine bay, and you can instantly see some nice
work that has gone into this 350 cubic-inch small block. With the
clamshell hood cutting low into the engine bay, everyone gets a
good look at the upgrades like the Edelbrock intake, Holley
four-barrel carburetor, braded steel lines, Edelbrock valve covers,
and performance headers. Plus, there's always something cool about
getting an up-close look at a V8 creation like this. But, anytime
you feel people are getting too near, the howl of the sidepipe dual
exhaust will do a fine job of scaring them away. More than just a
show-off, this custom pickup was built to be driven. The TH400
three-speed transmission does a fine job handling the power, as
does the Dana 44 rear end. With a new power steering rack, new
driveshaft, power brakes, and the grip of BF Goodrich T/A radials,
this 1950s machine is a lot of fun on the road.
This is an affordable turnkey custom build is just looking for
someone to add gas to the tank and rocket down the road. Is it you?
