Vehicle Description
Plenty of V8 power, serious long bed utility, a custom interior,
and a great two-tone paint job are all part of the cool custom
attitude of this 1974 Ford F-100 Fleetside Longbed.
This Ford has that cool old-school look. It's a factory-correct
two-tone Wimbledon White and Burnt Orange, and it was resprayed to
give you a good gloss and clearcoat shine. Plus, there's a ton of
cool/custom details, like the hood scoop, billet grille, fold-out
gas cap, quad exhaust tips, and 17-inch Mustang alloys. We
particularly like how the Cobra logos are set into the front
fenders. It gives this truck a nice sporty style. But it also
doesn't lose its overall function. The long wheelbase with long bed
means you're only making one trip to Home Depot before a project,
and the liner paint even keeps it nicely protected. Even the bright
chrome bumpers have a useful side with the diamond plate step
version in the rear. And the reason why this is such a handy and
distinct package is because this truck has remained in one family
all its life. So it's a carefully crafted long-term custom.
The impressive presentation continues inside. It starts with the
custom seating that offers two high-back buckets for both sides,
and you have the choice of a jump seat in the middle or a fold-down
armrest center console in-between. The tan and brown two-tone in
the seats coordinates with the door panels, rear panel, carpeting,
and dash pad. You'll especially love the look of the matching
headliner that also contains provisions for auxiliary gauges and a
CB radio. You've got some nice comfort upgrades, like an AM/FM/CD
stereo and R134a air conditioning (will need servicing.) The
wood-rimmed steering wheel is on a tilt column. If the Cobra emblem
in the center didn't convince you something special is under the
hood, then the large tach mounted on the dash certainly will.
There's even more Cobra style in the engine bay with the valve
covers and matching long air grabber. This motor earns its sporty
look. This is a big 390 cubic-inch V8, and it's enhanced with
go-fast goodies like Holley double pumper four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock aluminum heads, an upgraded cam,
Mallory HyFire adjustable ignition, and headers feeding the dual
exhaust. You'll also spot the right supporting components, like
steel-braided hoses, an Optima red top battery, and a large
aluminum radiator. It's a strong-running motor that loves to make a
deep rumble. Because this is the kind of package that's made to hit
the road, you have nice features like the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and hydroboost power brakes with
discs up front.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the cool custom pickup with
plenty of power and plenty of ability. That makes for an awesome
truck that you need to get your hands on right now.
