Vehicle Description
While the word "traditional" often conjures images of
semi-survivors that are more tarmac than trophy, it can also stand
for something truly show worthy. Timeless classics like this cool
Ford F100 often feature an impressive mix of style and
approachability. And with that in mind, this attractive pickup is a
living example of why, decades after its creation, traditional hot
rodding still enjoys a dedicated fan base. Backing professionally
built Windsor power with a tough C4 3-speed, this solid resto-mod
probably spent the better part of its 65 years as a stylish
runabout used for work and play. And today, rolling as a certified
head turner, it's poised for the spotlight and destined for the
front row! Ready to step up to the charm and class that made
Detroit famous? Take a close look at this all-American cruiser!
THE CANDY'S KANDY
Making its grand debut in the summer of 2020, this super cool
pickup is the product of a detailed, ground-up restoration that was
completed by the pros at Sparks, Nevada's B&T Custom Rod &
Restoration. That first class build shines through enticing House
Of Kolor Brandywine Kandy, which dresses gray sealer, silver sealer
and four coats of base in four coats of glossy clear. And that
storied pigment highlights solid panels that center great alignment
under bright reflections and clean, factory-spec surfaces.
Naturally, this Ford's professional rebuild includes a roster of
tasteful details. At the front of the truck, a polished, "V8"
branded grille hangs stainless-trimmed headlights above a mirrored
bumper and polished parking lamps. A sculpted hood flies tasteful
Ford brandings in front of a coveted big-window cab that's centered
on classy mirrors and capped wipers. At the sides of that cab, the
truck's tough profile plants polished door handles between fresh
door emblems and painted running boards. And at the back of those
boards, a varnished and stainless-trimmed bed fronts polished
taillights, polished rail plugs and a second mirrored bumper that's
founded on polished brackets.
THE BLUEPRINT WINDSOR
Check the candied engine bay and you'll find 351 cubic inches of
proven Ford power that was professionally assembled by the techs at
Kearney, Nebraska's BluePrint Engines. At the top of that fresh
mill, a polished Ford Racing air cleaner balances a trick Ford
wingnut over a polished Holley Sniper EFI throttle body that's
monitored by a liquid-filled pressure gauge. Those jets tune a
precise mixture of air and fossils for a spry Weiand Stealth
intake. Fires are lit by a hot, factory-style distributor, which
sequences spark between an MSD Blaster 2 coil and loomed Taylor
Spiro Pro plug wires. RAB Performance serpentine components spin a
muted alternator opposite a muted AC compressor. Coated BBK
shorties make quick work of spent gases. Cooling comes courtesy of
a big Cold-Case radiator, which is paired with a large electric
puller fan. And choice detailing includes trick sticks, billet
fluid reservoirs and tasteful Ford Racing valve covers that are
dotted with a stainless breather.
THE RESTO-MOD PART
Judging by appearance, this classic spent most of its blue-collar
life living clean and working hard. So, when the time came for
rebirth, the truck was a prime candidate for thorough
modernization. Nowhere is that theme more evident than under the
skin. The stout 351 sends power to a proven C4 3-speed, which spins
a trusty 10-bolt axle. That smooth drivetrain pushes a nicely
upgraded suspension that's led by a Speedway Motors Mustang II
front-clip. Turns come easy thanks to modern power rack-and-pinion
steering. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to retrofitted power disc
brakes. At the center of the floor, aluminized exhaust makes
excellent use of welded, dual-chamber mufflers. A custom, relocated
fuel tank stocks a solid 16 gallons of gas. And at the corners of
the chassis, polished U.S. Mags Ramblers twist 225/65R17 Dean Tire
Road Control Touring radials.
THE COMFORT FACTOR
When you pop this pickup's doors, you'll find a comfortable cockpit
that wraps a broad factory bench in upscale vinyl. Opposite that
throne, a customized dash hangs dressed Classic Instruments
telemetry beside controls for Vintage Air conditioning. That
attractive seat and dash combo is caged in custom carpet, a custom
headliner and custom door panels that are decorated with billet
cranks and billet handles. And the driver spins a polished and
leather-wrapped steering wheel around a polished, tilting
column.
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this awesome Ford mixes timeless,
all-American swagger with smooth, road ready athletics. From its
glowing pigment to its customized cockpit, there simply aren't many
cooler pickups out there! Call, click or visit
