Details

This recently completed ground-up custom-built 1951 Ford F-100 named 'El Blanco Diablo' is the product of a 1,000-hour one-year build. The heart of this beast comes from a Ford Gen II Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine with forged internals, Ford Racing control pack, new radiator with electric fans and full exhaust with off-road H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. Backing the engine is a 6R80 6-speed automatic transmission and a custom-built driveshaft. The custom-built chassis features a painted frame, Mustang II front suspension, rear four-link with a coilover suspension, Hydro-Boost power steering and brake setup, and four-wheel Cobra disc brakes. This 1951 pickup wears a restored all-steel body finished in Satin White paint with a slight chop, shaved cab vents and door handles, blacked-out trim, all-new glass and window rubber, and new LED halo headlights. Out back it features an all-new bed with a custom laser-printed floor coated with resin, and new tailgate with hidden latched and cables, fenders, rear bumper and original-style taillights. The whole thing rides on new gloss black FR500 17-inch wheels wrapped in Street Comp tires. The custom interior sports brand-new black TMI seats, new black carpet, new headliner and rocker panels, functional vintage gauges, new chrome steering column and wheel, Cobra brakes, and gas pedals, comfort comes from Vintage Air and an updated sound system.
