With the popularity of resto-modded cars increasing, why not have a
resto-modded truck? That's exactly what you're looking at here. A
resto mod truck with tough looks and an interesting history,
including a LMC Truck catalog cover and feature article. This truck
was originally a '68 Ford F100, just your average everyday truck.
Trips to the store, hauling loads in the bed, and maybe even towing
was part of the regular use of this and many other vintage Ford
F100 pickups. Aaron Kaufman of Gas Monkey Garage, thanks to his
mainstream popularity seems to have given a big boost to popularity
of the modern drivetrain swap into the F100's. You guessed it, this
is one such truck, which has been a recipient of a modern
drivetrain. No, you don't have to have an impressive beard to get
behind the wheel and enjoy it. Under the hood is a 4.6 Liter V8
pulled from a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, including the
complete subframe. Thanks to the modern subframe, this truck
drives, and handles much better than the original factory setup
did. KYB shocks, custom widened Interceptor wheels, and line lock
for massive burnouts are highlights of the drivetrain. A binder of
maintenance records for the car that the Interceptor engine and
subframe were pulled from also comes with the truck. As you can see
in the photos, this truck is not a show finished resto-mod truck,
it has the old patina look, which can be fun at stop lights since
many people don't suspect that this truck is fast. The original
paint is Wimbledon White (code M) according to the Trim Tag,
although now it includes some brown and gray tones thanks to age. A
new windshield and window seals have been added all around, and new
LED headlights were installed on the front end, which are a big
improvement over the stock headlights. The interior has been left
pretty simple, function over form is the name of the game here.
Crown Victoria gauge cluster has been integrated with the factory
F100 gauge panel, seats have simple covers, and black lap belts
help keep you in place when giving that 'Foot' gas pedal a good
stomp! Be sure to check out all the photos and video on our main

questions. Thank you for looking.
