Starting with the crisp, clean lines of this '68 Ford, a team of
professionals went to work to accentuate those lines and complement
them. Lowering the truck with a bit of chassis rake so those big
chrome wheels tuck way up into the fender wells gives it a dramatic
look right off the bat. When the decision was made to coat the
truck in a matte paint job, the body men knew the panels had to be
perfect before a drop of paint was applied. The quality of
workmanship is outstanding and it sets the gold standard for this
type of paint. To complement the look even further, the grill and
the bumpers are featured in body color while being very discreet
about the use of chrome with just the hardware shining like silver
jewelry. The only other chrome is a slash of it that divides the
two-tone paint and is perfectly straight as is cuts across the body
panels from front to rear accenting the crisp clean body lines of
the body even further.
Open the door and you will find an interior that continues the
quality of workmanship and attention to detail that is evident on
the body. The soft colors of the two-tone tan continues starting
with the understated elegance of the simple door panel dressed up
only with stainless fasteners and a chrome window crank. A tan
three-spoke steering wheel has a Ford center button and a
semi-circular horn ring along with a with the shifter for the
automatic transmission are both dressed in chrome. The dash itself
is almost impossibly perfect with its black speedometer and tan
oval surround with stainless hardware and black and polished
control knobs below it. The center dash holds the ventilation
controls along with the Vintage Air system to keep you cool during
those hot summer cruises and car shows and the bench seat is a
comfortable work of art with a tasteful tartan cloth surrounded by
tan vinyl.
The modern tech in this truck really shines in the chassis and
engine updates. Pop the hood and take a peek. The first thing you
will notice is that the outstanding workmanship of the rest of the
vehicle continues with the presentation of the 390 cubic inch motor
nestled down in a meticulously detailed out engine bay. A chrome
air filter assembly feeds an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and
intake manifold while chrome valve covers add their splash of
flash. All the accessories are new including the A/C compressor,
power brake booster and master cylinder, radiator and all the belts
and hoses. Stock exhaust manifolds flow back through Dynomax
mufflers and all the power this motor makes flows back through a
3-speed automatic transmission. The suspension has been updated
with new multi-leaf springs in the rear and a completely new front
end with power rack and pinion steering working through tubular
control arms and coil springs along with a sway bar to provide
outstanding handling. 4-wheel disc brakes provide tremendous
stopping power and the rubber meets the road through 275/40ZR20s in
the back and 245/40ZR20s in the front mounted on those awesome
Billet Specialties wheels.
A timeless design, updated and re-imagined using modern tech, with
a quality of workmanship that is second to none. The results are
impressive. Come on down and check it out in person.
