1961 FORD F-100 CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This stunning unibody has made the transformation from an original-owner, rust-free workhorse to the 2016 Goodguys Truck of the Year that it is today. Featured on the cover of the August 2017 issue of Street Trucks magazine, this truck proudly displays the many unique modifications that deemed it worthy of this prestigious honor. The build started at Porterbuilt Fabrication, where the stock frame was customized using Level 3 front and rear Dropmembers to allow the truck to lay body using a

complete AccuAir E-Level suspension system with a touchpad and WiFi receiver. A new custom-painted Ford Racing 5.0-liter Coyote crate engine, 4R70W automatic transmission from Gearstar, ceramic-coated MagnaFlow exhaust, custom-built stainless-steel fuel tank, and a 9' Ford rear complete the rolling chassis. Jason Graham Hot Rods continued on the build, where they chopped the top 2', removed the drip rails, smoothed the bumpers and custom fabricated a one-off tailgate. The laser-straight body was then covered in a custom-mixed PPG Mahogany Pearl. To complement the color, 22' Schott Modsport wheels with bronze ceramic-painted accents and Yokohama Parada tires were added to complete the design. The truck also features all modern power accessories, including power rack & pinion steering, power windows with one-piece custom glass, and power brakes with CPP vented rotors and a Wilwood master cylinder. For the interior, John Miller completely covered the cab in Relicate leather and stainless-steel trim, including the custom center console, dash and headliner. Flawless execution on a clean and simple design earned a Best Truck Interior award at the Detroit Autorama. A full Rockford Fosgate/Kenwood Excelon audio system, Ididit tilt steering column and Old Air Products air conditioning keep the ride comfortable. With less than 300 miles and only shown five times, this truck is ready to be driven, shown and enjoyed!
