BODYWORK/TRIM

When the owner of this red-hot Effie began planning a cross-country road trip in a vintage pickup, e had every intention of sourcing a nice, eliable cruiser. And he did just that by purchasing this solid, eafoam Green Ford. But, s happens with so many of these projects, obby turned into obsession and minor restoration turned into an opportunity to create something incredible. And eventually, ith the intent of taking the truck "to a level that no one else had accomplished", e kicked off a professional, igh-dollar transformation. Since beginning its career as a show queen, his squeaky clean Ford has logged only selective road time, eeping its PPG 2-stage virtually flawless. Its custom graphics, hich can easily be removed, re timeless and well done. And, aturally, it and panel alignments remain about as close to perfect as such a thing can be.

Since we're talking aesthetics, 'll go ahead and point out notable details resulting from both this Ford's original restoration and two subsequent years of fine-tuning. Up front, n original grille hangs a traditional "V8" emblem and modern tri-bar headlights above a chromed and tucked bumper. Behind that grille, shaved, orward-tilt hood snugs at like-new glass, hich incorporates a sliding window opposite small wipers and an electric cowl vent. At the sides of that hood, riginal front fenders lead stylish mirrors, raditional door handles, power antenna and a nostalgic fuel filler. Below those fenders, ord-branded running boards flow to a lighted Oak bed that's framed in stainless skid strips and a locking Gaylord tonneau. And at the back of the truck, smoothed tailgate rides between a small, unctional rearview camera, ftermarket taillights, nd a second chromed and tucked bumper.

ENGINE

Prior to its aforementioned tuning, his fun loving Ford sported a '70s Lincoln motor. And while that mill certainly provided adequate power, adequate' just isn't up to "a level that no one else had accomplished". Tilt the trick hood and you'll find a fresh, .0 liter Ford Performance 'mod motor' that twists stout 11 to 1 compression into 420 horsepower and 390 lb./ft. of tire-melting torque! Officially named Coyote, nd not far removed from the engine that powers the current Mustang GT, his state-of-the-art rocket features a forged crank, orged rods, ypereutectic pistons and all-aluminum, -valve construction. At the top of block, ustom, IG-welded stainless pipes air from remote Spectre filters to an 80mm, ingle-bore throttle body and tuned, omposite intake manifold. At the sides of that intake, POWERED BY FORD" cam covers bridge the gap between Ford Performance headers and a Mustang GT engine shroud. At the front of that shroud, Ford serpentine system spins an assortment of smooth ancillaries. In front of those ancillaries, polished Artic Chill radiator, hich rides between a custom support and large SPAL puller fans, rovides plenty of cooling capacity. And everything communicates thanks to $1,500 worth of Ford Performance engine control. The svelte powerplant is extremely tidy, ith sculpted plastic concealing most of its factory silver casting. And the truck's "V8" branded engine bay is detailed with thoughtful accessories like a Wilwood brake booster, .A.S.T fuel components, ustom inner fenders and an array of stainless hardware.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

As you can probably tell most of the truck's latest freshening, ompleted by Trophy Ride Customs of Wilmington, orth Carolina, nvolved vastly improved mechanicals. Head bottom-side and you'll find a boxed and powder-coated frame that centers fresh, atin Black floors on a roster of top-notch components. Behind the Coyote, Simple Shift Controller utilizes a Performance Automatic-supplied 4R70W 4-speed to twist a 9-inch axle around friendly, .25 gears. That proven drivetrain rolls on polished Heidts control arms, djustable coil-over-shocks and a polished Heidts rear clip. That modern suspension is augmented with Heidts power rack-and-pinion steering. Braking is equally class, ith Hydratech hydraulics controlling standard front discs and inboard rear discs. The aforementioned headers dump spent gases in to 3-inch pipes, hich follow Mustang GT mufflers with polished Ford Racing tips. There's a 20-gallon fuel tank that, espite the truck's nostalgic filler, akes good use of a fender-mounted port. Detail items, ike an 8-quart oil pan, diamond plate battery box, beefy transmission cooler and a Powermaster XS Torque starter, nsure function matches form. And power meets the pavement through painted steel wheels, hich twist white walled 215/75R15 BF Goodrich Silvertown Radials around stainless trim rings and polished, FORD" branded hubcaps.

INTERIOR

Inside the truck, custom cockpit sits primed for either open road tripping or parking lot posing. Front and center, smoothed and body-matched dash frames classy Auto Meter gauges in an engine-turned instrument panel. Opposite that dash, lush RV seats mix modern heaters with adjustable massagers. At the bottom of those seats, remium carpet anchors a small Lokar shifter behind a stylish Lokar accelerator pedal. At the edges of that carpet, lectronically locked doors integrate perfectly placed "V8" emblems beneath chrome handles, ower-operated windows and custom pulls that we're repurposed from a Mustang luggage rack. Opposite those doors, 2-tier Escalade console stacks Vintage Air climate control under Kenwood Excelon audio. That audio projects CD, VD, avigation, luetooth and satellite radio through two JL Audio amps, n 8-inch subwoofer and numerous JL Audio speakers. And the driver stays connected to the road through a tilting Ford column that spins a sweet Billet Specialties banjo-style wheel.

Whether it's simple nostalgia or their long list of extremely useful design virtues, ne thing is certain: trucks NEVER go out of style. And it's becoming increasingly rare to see one of these '50s show stoppers sit in our RK Motors Charlotte showroom for very long. If you're in the market for something that's every bit as fun as it is cool, his awesome Ford is exactly what you've been looking for!
