Vehicle Description
This 1962 Ford F-100 takes the best elements of the blue oval and
bow tie to create one of the coolest gassers around. So you're
looking at a cool unibody truck with a high-performance small
block, and it's all at an exceptional price.
Ford's brief flirtation with a seamless unibody option on the
F-series already makes a pickup like this sought after and hard to
find. The unibody just does a great job of featuring the
full-length style lines that were stamped directly in the
sheetmetal. Ford also added some dramatic flares around the wheel
arches, making this one of the best-looking trucks of the early
'60s. This one takes this sporty look up a notch with the satin
finish on the silver paint and a cool hood strip kit that
emphasizes the power bulge in the sheetmetal. It's all of these
elements that makes this a great looking base to create a gasser -
a project that took nearly two years to complete. In fact, this one
could almost be a bit stealthy because it already had a taller
front end and solid front axle. You just have to not pick up on the
ultra wide rear tires of the tailgate that hints at the bow tie
power within.
Inside, this performance pickup gets down to business immediately.
A durable black bench and the exterior silver on the doors and dash
are there for style, but from the moment you grab the Grant sports
steering wheel, your heart will begin to race. In the middle is a
large Bosch tach, ignition panel, and a Hurst T-bar shifter. This
is certainly ready to do battle.
This motor has been built for both show and go. Within the dark
fender walls, the investment in the valve covers, pulleys,
alternator, and all the other polished components make this one
look like its radiating power from within the engine bay. And
backing up this performance appearance is a 383 stroker motor built
by Skip White Racing with go-fast goodies like a Quick Fuel
four-barrel carburetor, hi-rise intake, aluminum heads, aluminum
radiator w/electric fans, and Hedman headers that feed that huge
dual exhaust. The V8 was dynoed at 506 horsepower, and you have
complete control over this and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to
the Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission. Making sure that all
this power gets to the ground properly is a stout Ford 9-inch rear
end with 3.89 gears. And those wide 325/50R15 Mickey Thompson tires
in the rear ensure you have power takeoffs like a good gasser
should.
Complete with build receipts, build phots, and the dyno sheet that
you'll love showing off to your friends, this is a
beautifully-built gasser at an exceptionally affordable price. So
don't miss your opportunity, call today!
