Vehicle Description
A 1961 Ford unibody big-window custom-built truck. Featured in
Truckin' Magazine, this truck has undergone a no-expense-spared
restoration and customization creating an ultra-cool custom out of
a limited-production pickup. Only a handful were sold with the big
rear window. The body had all the handles, emblems and gas door
removed, and a custom roll pan installed. A steel 3-piece bed cover
was fabricated to cover the gas tank, which was moved to the front
of the bed. The custom paint job started with Sunset Orange and
dark silver two-tone, then mixed several oranges together to create
the overlapping flames. The customizing did not stop with the body;
the interior has custom door panels, dash, center console and
Premier Audio stereo with a custom amplifier and speaker tucked
behind the seat. A Hurricane air conditioner was installed, along
with power windows, locks and tilt steering column with a LeCarra
steering wheel. This custom pickup is powered by a 351ci 8-cylinder
Windsor engine with Edelbrock intake, carburetor, Lunati cam and
Hedman headers, all mated to a C6 automatic transmission. It's
equipped with a custom induction system, 9" rear end, custom upper
and lower A-arms, front disc brakes and American Racing wheels. Out
back the rear leaf springs were flipped under the axle to drop the
rear.
