Vehicle Description
This custom 1979 Ford F-350 4x4 pickup received a complete
nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration. The body was dipped and
stripped to bare metal and all PPG paints were used, from the DP
epoxy primer to the DBC base coat and DCU 2021 concept clear coat.
The chassis was stripped, sandblasted and powder-coated. The engine
is Ford's new GODZILLA 7.3-liter with OBR's control pack and CVR's
front-runner pulley setup. The new Boyd Welding aluminum fuel tank
with an in-tank pump feeds the engine under the hood. The 6R80W
6-speed automatic transmission was built by Xtreme Transmissions
using U.S. Shift's controller, all mated to an Atlas transfer case.
The original high-pinion Dana 60 Sno-Fighter front end was
disassembled, stripped and powder-coated, with all new parts
installed. The Dana 60 rear end was given the same treatment, with
new a new posi-traction unit installed. New drivelines were made,
and new 4-wheel disc brakes were fitted and installed. The interior
is a fully custom leather and plaid combination with a suede
headliner, leather-covered dash pad and Euro-style carpet
custom-molded to the floor and inside the back of the cab as well
as Dakota Digital RTX gauges and a Vintage Air system. It is
rolling on new aluminum 17-inch U.S. Mags wrapped in BFGoodrich
Mud-Terrain tires. This pickup is also equipped with an Ididit tilt
steering column and a rebuilt steering box.
