Restored and customized by GS Customs of Seymour, Illinois, this 1949 Ford F1 pickup blends classic style with modern performance. Its all-steel body sports a brilliant Sunburst Orange Pearl PPG finish, stainless steel trim, and a new oak wood bed floor. A fuel-injected Mustang 5.0L V-8, overdrive automatic transmission, and Moser 9-inch Positraction rear end with 4.11 gears deliver power, while a custom engine cover and PRC radiator keep it cool. Dual stainless steel exhaust with chrome tips enhances the V-8 rumble.
The sienna suede and leather interior features sculpted panels, a bench seat, Vintage Air climate control, LED lighting, underseat storage, and an Alpine iPod stereo. A banjo steering wheel, tilt column, VDO gauges, and machined pedals refine the driving experience. Built on a Fat Man Fabrications chassis with a Mustang II front suspension, 4-link rear with coilovers, and Wilwood brakes, it handles like a modern machine. Polished 18-inch Bonspeed V-8 wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires complete the street-ready stance.
