Details

This 1956 Ford F-100 big-window pickup was built by Undercover Restorations in Merritt Island, FL. Over 2,000 labor hours were invested, and the build was completed in 2021 with test miles only. The chassis is equipped with No Limit's wide-ride independent front suspension, power rack & pinion steering, rear rocker-style shock linkage with trailing-arm setup and Viking coilovers at all four corners. Power comes from a John Kaase Racing Boss 520ci engine fitted with 8-stack electronic fuel injection and breathing through a set of custom headers with a full 3-inch dual exhaust exiting at the rear of the running boards. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission delivering all the horsepower to a Ford 9-inch rear end. Its underpinnings start with a custom Graphite Silver powder-coated No Limit Engineering Big 10 chassis featuring 10-inch frame rails in the center section. The exterior is finished in Solar Red Crystal tri-coat paint complemented by a new birdseye maple wood bed coated in urethane clear. Stopping is handled by Wilwood 4-wheel power disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors. The fully customized interior is upholstered in two-tone brown/tan diamond-stitched leather with brown alligator Inserts and black carpet. It features Vintage Air, a modern gauge cluster, power windows and a Pioneer double-DIN touchscreen stereo with Pioneer speakers and Pioneer-powered subwoofer. This custom F-100 rolls on Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson Street Comp tires.
