1962 FORD F-100 CUSTOM PICKUP 'DJANGO'

Details

Nicknamed 'Django,' this is a chopped Ford gone wild with the windshield leaned back, fenders widened and moved up, custom hood, front and rear fender styling with a hand-fabricated grille and cowl. The bed has been completely restyled, wrapped and smoothed. It has suicide doors, flush-mount glass, single-piece side glass and custom steel dash. The interior is luxurious distressed leather, trimmed and filled with the latest Kicker audio components. 2015 Detroit Autorama is where Django debuted

as a Ridler contender. It won Best Radical Truck and Outstanding Full Radical Hand-Built Truck. That was followed by an abundance of awards at Goodguys events and the Salt Lake Autorama, where it won Outstanding Engineered and Utah's Top Ten. It then went on to be an invited feature car for the Hot Rod Power Tour, was a Barrett-Jackson Cup contender and brought home a Grand Marshall Award, a Celebrity's Choice and Best Special Interest award at Hot August Nights. It was featured in Hot Rod, Street Trucks, Classic Trucks, Diesel Power and Diesel World magazines and was showcased on Velocity's live show powered by a monstrous horsepower and torque Cummins 5.9-liter 12-valve diesel. A custom-designed stainless intake manifold supports a 13mm Bosch P7100 injection pump getting the goods from Borg Warner S400 and S500 turbos. For added kick, a Nitrous Express custom plumbed 500hp system, while spent gases dump through Steed Speed headers to custom 4' exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers then onto 5' cutouts in the lower bedside panels. The engine bay showcases the custom sheet metal panel work. To lay down the power a narrowed 9' Ford rear was packed with 3.55 gears and hung in place by a custom chromoly 4-link accented by RideTech double-adjustable coilovers. The rubber meeting the road is a low-profile Pirelli P-Zero wrapping a set Boze Force wheels.
