Details

This custom 1979 Ford F-350 4x4 pickup received a complete nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration. The body was dipped and stripped to bare metal and all PPG paints were used, from the DP epoxy primer to the DBC base coat and DCU 2021 concept clear coat. The chassis was stripped, sandblasted and powder-coated. The engine is Ford's new Godzilla 7.3-liter with OBR's control pack and CVR's front runner pulley setup. The new Boyd Welding aluminum fuel tank with an in-tank pump feeds the engine under the hood. The 6R80W 6-speed automatic transmission was built by Xtreme transmissions using U.S. Shift's controller, all mated to an Atlas transfer case. The original high-pinion Dana 60 Sno-Fighter front end was disassembled, stripped and powder-coated, and all new parts were installed. The Dana 60 rear end was given the same treatment, but a new posi-traction unit was installed. New drive lines were made and 4-wheel disc brakes were also fitted. The interior is a fully custom leather and plaid combo with a suede headliner, leather-covered dash pad and Euro-style carpet custom-molded to the floor and inside the back of the cab. New 17-inch U.S. Mags slot wheels are fitted with 33x12.50R17 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain tires. Dakota Digital RTX gauges were fitted to a new dash bezel. The Vintage Air system works to keep the occupants at a perfect temperature. It is also equipped with an Ididit tilt steering column and rebuilt steering box.
