This 1968 Ford F-100 Ranger is the kind of restomod that goes far
beyond a cosmetic restoration. Beneath its beautifully preserved
late-1960s Ford styling is a thoroughly modernized performance
platform built around a supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8, six-speed
automatic transmission, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc
brakes, and modern comfort features.
Finished in a striking two-tone red and cream combination, the
truck retains the unmistakable character that makes the
fifth-generation F-Series so desirable while sitting dramatically
lower over a staggered set of polished wheels. Ranger badging,
bright body-side moldings, chrome bumpers, a chrome grille, FORD
tailgate lettering, and the contrasting cream roof give it a
sophisticated factory-inspired appearance rather than an overly
modified look.
Supercharged Coyote Power
At the center of the build is a Gen 1 Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 topped
with a Roush water-to-air intercooled supercharger, with the
combination rated at approximately 750 horsepower.
A twin 340-LPH Aeromotive fuel system supplies the supercharged
engine, while Power By The Hour engine and transmission management
helps integrate the late-model drivetrain into the vintage Ford
chassis.
Behind the Coyote is Ford's 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission,
giving this F-100 the benefit of modern gearing, highway manners,
and significantly greater usability than a traditional three- or
four-speed vintage automatic.
The exhaust is handled by a custom 2.5-inch Borla system with an
X-pipe, providing the aggressive sound expected from a blown Coyote
without compromising the truck's refined character.
Modernized Chassis & Suspension
The chassis was designed to make use of the substantial increase in
power rather than simply accommodate it.
Up front, the truck utilizes an independent suspension with upper
and lower control arms, along with electronic power rack-and-pinion
steering. At the rear is a parallel four-link suspension, while
coilovers at all four corners provide the low stance and more
contemporary suspension control.
Power is transferred through a Ford 8.8-inch rear axle equipped
with 3.73:1 gearing and a Traction-Lok limited-slip
differential.
Stopping performance has likewise been upgraded with power-assisted
four-wheel disc brakes. The photos also show upgraded front brake
hardware and a remotely mounted electric cooling fan incorporated
into the build.
A mini rear frame step, raised bed floor, and modified inner
wheelhouse arrangement allow the truck to achieve its aggressive
static ride height while retaining a remarkably clean exterior
profile.
Wheels & Stance
One of the strongest visual elements of the build is its wheel and
tire combination. The polished multi-spoke billet-style wheels fill
the wheel openings perfectly, with the photographs showing:
265/35ZR22 front tires
285/35ZR22 rear tires
The staggered setup, combined with the coilover suspension and
tucked stance, gives this F-100 a purposeful contemporary
appearance without taking away from the truck's classic lines.
Exterior
The two-tone paint treatment complements the original Ford design
exceptionally well. The upper body is finished in a rich red while
the lower body and roof are presented in contrasting cream,
separated by the factory-style bright Ranger moldings.
The truck retains numerous recognizable period details, including
the FORD hood lettering, Ranger grille emblem, Ford 100 fender
identification, Ranger bedside script, chrome grille and bumpers,
and bright tailgate trim.
Under the hood, the presentation is exceptionally clean, with the
body-color engine compartment framing the Roush-supercharged
Coyote. Billet hood hinges add another high-quality detail to the
build.
The bed is equally well finished, featuring a raised factory-style
floor and color-matched textured bed coating, maintaining a
finished appearance even in an area often overlooked on restomod
builds.
Custom Interior
Inside, the F-100 carries the exterior's red theme into a
beautifully finished cabin.
A custom diamond-stitched red bench seat dominates the interior,
complemented by red carpeting and matching door panels. The
original-style horizontal dash remains recognizable, but the
instrumentation has been comprehensively modernized.
A Dakota Digital-style gauge system integrates modern electronic
readouts into the vintage Ford dash layout, and the digital
odometer photographed in the truck displays approximately 1,118
miles.
Additional interior upgrades include a custom billet steering
wheel, Vintage Air climate control, upgraded audio system, and
modern speakers, creating a cabin that retains the visual character
of a classic F-Series while providing far greater comfort and
usability.
A Complete High-Performance Restomod
The strongest aspect of this 1968 F-100 is that it was developed as
a complete vehicle rather than simply receiving a powerful engine
swap.
The 750-horsepower Roush-supercharged Coyote, 6R80 six-speed
automatic, Aeromotive fuel system, limited-slip 8.8-inch rear,
independent front suspension, four-link rear, coilovers, electronic
rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, Vintage Air,
modern instrumentation, custom interior, and staggered 22-inch
wheel package all contribute to a truck designed to look
exceptional while providing genuine modern performance.
For the collector looking for a late-1960s Ford pickup with
traditional Ranger styling but contemporary supercharged
performance and road manners, this 1968 Ford F-100 Ranger Restomod
delivers an impressive combination of craftsmanship, presentation,
horsepower, and drivability.
