And if you're looking for a reliable head turner that mixes timeless style with great performance, it's a solid stake for your next street rod!

ART DECO STYLING

Custom touches are abundant yet subtle on this post-war era F1. The heavy Art Deco influence of the original Ford design is further enhanced by the masterful work that has followed. Smoothed body seams, frenched lights, and the removal of bumpers and exterior mirrors, combined with a contemporary Graphite Metallic color gives the truck a sleek and modern look, while the iconic chrome grill is balanced by trick polished aluminum wheels and a stainless-trimmed oak bed floor.

5.0L EFI FORD POWER

Lift the hood and you'll find a stout electronically fuel injected 5.0L Ford V8 nestled neatly between an engine-turned firewall and custom Walker radiator. Polished exhaust headers and chrome serpentine accessory add show worthy flare. Backing the modern small block is an automatic overdrive transmission and heavy-duty rear axle allowing effortless highway cruising.

BUILT RESTO-MOD PROUD

The added horsepower required some upgrades to this workhorses' chassis, and those upgrades come in the form of fully independent Heidts front suspension, power rack and pinion steering, and power front disc brakes. And at the corners, polished 18 and 20inch Boss Motorsports polished aluminum wheels give the truck an aggressive stance.

READY TO ROLL

Between the doors, the simplistic design of the 1947 Ford remains with updates made to dash design and upholstered surfaces. A custom stitched bench seat and matching door panels are taught a supple. An extended dash now hangs custom a/c vents, Vintage Air controls, and updated Classic Instrument gauges. And the driver spins a handsome leather wrapped steering wheel around a polished tilting column.

Both alluring and practical, this awesome Ford is a tastefully refined take on the enduring concept of the American pickup truck. Combining great craftsmanship with proven mechanicals, it presents the rare opportunity to land a show worthy classic that easily doubles as a sorted weekend cruiser. Don't miss your chance to claim this awesome custom!
