With deep black paint draped over its timelessly stylish exterior,
its set of staggered 18"/20" Riddler wheels, and deleted bumpers at
both ends, this 1955 Ford F-100 Restomod is a tastefully aggressive
rendering of one of the most sought-after classic pickups ever to
roll off an assembly line. Its sturdy steel body is in great shape,
still well-aligned and free from any concerning dents or dings, and
the minimal amount of badging allows its dark, foreboding color to
take center stage. Its stance strikes a nice balance, in that it's
low enough to confer an aftermarket touch, without taking things to
an extreme and compromising real-world drivability. The way the
wheel wells frame those aggressively sized wheels is an indication
that plenty of care went into ensuring the aesthetic details were
taken care of.
Inside, the color-matched steel surfaces of the dash area and the
tops of the doors look sharp, and the wood-grain Grant GT steering
wheel sitting on its tilt column, as well as the collection of
white-faced VDO gauges on display inside the instrument cluster,
create a very effective bit of contrast. Staying comfortable inside
this cockpit year-round will be no problem, as the added
aftermarket climate control system is functioning in top form, and
an AM/FM/CD stereo with an auxiliary port is on hand to provide you
with a multitude of audio options during your journeys. The rear
bed is another definite high point, with its combination of fresh
wood planks and steel supports looking like they've just been
installed, judging from their pristine appearance.
This classic Ford has been configured to offer a surprisingly
refined driving experience, and there will be no shortage of power
at your disposal. The 302-cubic-inch V8 lurking under the hood has
been outfitted with both an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and a
Weiand intake manifold to optimize its output, and an upgraded
aluminum radiator pairs with an electric fan at the front of the
engine compartment to keep operating temperatures in check. Power
disc brakes at all four corners provide all the fade-resistant
stopping ability you'll need, power steering makes for easy
navigation, and the addition of a modern independent front
suspension improves handling while smoothing out the road
ahead.
