Here we have a very straightforward 1972 Ford F-100 short-bed
pickup finished in non-metallic Burgundy. The stance is just right
thanks to the 20-inch wheels, and the front bumper, grille, and
trim present very well. Out back, the bumper has been deleted for a
clean, fresh look. A black spray-in bed liner covers the entire
bed, including the top rails. The tinted windows look great, and
the rubber seals and weatherstripping allow the doors and hood to
open and shut with a solid feel. This is a simple truck-and that's
exactly what makes it so appealing. It has plenty of presence
without trying too hard.
Inside, the brown door cards are in good shape and contrast nicely
with the King Ranch weathered saddle 70/30 bench seats, which also
show well. Black carpet has been installed and pairs nicely with
the black dash pad and Grant steering wheel. Burgundy paint
surrounds the cabin, matching the exterior while giving the
interior a cohesive look. A monster AutoMeter tachometer sits in
front of the otherwise stock gauge cluster, with three auxiliary
gauges mounted down to the right. On the floor is a B&M
shifter, and the dash houses a Kenwood AM/FM/CD/Aux head unit with
Bluetooth. Just like the exterior, the interior is simple but very
well done.
Under the hood is where things get serious. Instead of plain and
simple, this truck packs a serious punch with a big stroker 528
cubic-inch V8. Cooling comes from an aluminum radiator, while the
engine itself features a Scat crank, forged rods, Icon forged
pistons, MSD ignition, and a Weiand aluminum intake topped with a
4-barrel carburetor. Power is sent through a built C6 3-speed
automatic with heavy-duty clutches and a remote transmission cooler
mounted under the bed with its own fan. Out back is a Ford 9-inch
rear axle with 3.70:1 gears. The truck rides on lowered
factory-style suspension, front and rear. A nice set of 20-inch
American Racing wheels wrapped in 245/40ZR20 front and 305/35ZR20
rear tires are installed. Front power disc brakes and rear power
drum brakes handle stopping duties, while long-tube headers, dual
exhaust, and Turbo mufflers help the big 528 breathe.
