Vehicle Description
Nicknamed "Django," this is a chopped Ford gone wild with the
windshield leaned back, fenders widened and moved up, custom hood,
front and rear fender styling with a hand-fabricated grille and
cowl. The bed has been completely restyled, wrapped and smoothed.
It has suicide doors, flush-mount glass, single-piece side glass
and custom steel dash. The interior is luxurious distressed
leather, trimmed and filled with the latest Kicker audio
components. 2015 Detroit Autorama is where Django debuted as a
Ridler contender. It won Best Radical Truck and Outstanding Full
Radical Hand-Built Truck. That was followed by an abundance of
awards at Goodguys events and the Salt Lake Autorama, where it won
Outstanding Engineered and Utah's Top Ten. It then went on to be an
invited feature car for the Hot Rod Power Tour, was a
Barrett-Jackson Cup contender and brought home a Grand Marshall
Award, a Celebrity's Choice and Best Special Interest award at Hot
August Nights. It was featured in Hot Rod, Street Trucks, Classic
Trucks, Diesel Power and Diesel World magazines and was showcased
on Velocity's live show powered by a monstrous horsepower and
torque Cummins 5.9-liter 12-valve diesel. A custom-designed
stainless intake manifold supports a 13mm Bosch P7100 injection
pump getting the goods from Borg Warner S400 and S500 turbos. For
added kick, a Nitrous Express custom plumbed 500hp system, while
spent gases dump through Steed Speed headers to custom 4" exhaust
and Flowmaster mufflers then onto 5" cutouts in the lower bedside
panels. The engine bay showcases the custom sheet metal panel work.
To lay down the power a narrowed 9" Ford rear was packed with 3.55
gears and hung in place by a custom chromoly 4-link accented by
RideTech double-adjustable coilovers. The rubber meeting the road
is a low-profile Pirelli P-Zero wrapping a set Boze Force wheels.
