While the newest Ford F-150 may have a twin-turbo hybrid
powertrain, and as cool as it can be having the latest and greatest
may be, sometimes it's far more fun to have something older and a
bit more special. This brings us to this 1955 Ford F-1 Restomod we
have for you today. Decked out in this sleek, deep Black Metallic,
this truck sports shaved mirrors, door handles, and drip rails. A
chrome front grille, front and rear roll pans, and a trick
forward-tilting hood are all like automotive Easter eggs to find,
bringing smiles every time. Its top is chopped four inches in front
and three inches in the rear, and the louvered tailgate gives this
truck an unmistakable look from any angle.
Inside, we find a custom black vinyl interior with a custom bench
seat and matching door panels. A factory black-painted dashboard
features a six-pod of trick Dolphin black-faced gauges nestled
inside a chrome bezel. A power-assisted, black-rimmed billet
steering wheel mounted on an iDidit tilt column actuates a Heidts
rack-and-pinion setup. Power windows and door poppers, along with a
Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit and Vintage Air AC operated with cool
billet knobs, provide plenty of modern amenities for those longer
road trips.
Under the hood, gone is the aged Flathead V-8 of yesteryear. In its
place, we find a rebuilt Crown Victoria donated 4.6-liter V-8
engine. With electronic fuel injection, shorty headers, and a
FlowMaster dual exhaust, this truck sounds like a truck should.
That power is routed through an AOD four-speed automatic
transmission, shifted by a Lokar floor shifter inside the cabin,
then sent to a Ford nine-inch rear outfitted with 3.73 gears, and
finally to polished American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels shod in
BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.
