Details

This custom pickup was built over a one-year period during 2020. The 1990 Mark IV 454ci V8 engine was rebuilt with hypereutectic pistons, moly rings, stock rods, 9.75:1 compression and a Summit Racing cam with .502/.501 lift and 218/228 duration. It is fed by dual 20-gallon gas tanks and a Summit Racing 750 cfm carburetor, and exhaust flows through stainless-steel headers, Summit mufflers and a universal dual exhaust kit. Backing the engine is a standard rebuilt TH400 automatic transmission. The driveshaft carrier bearing was replaced, and the rear axle is stock C20 axle. Stopping power is provided by stock front disc and rear drum brakes. The suspension features 3-inch drop springs and 2-inch drop spindles up front, and stock leaf spring with an axle flip and C-notched frame out back. This custom pickup rides on 18x8 front and 20x14 rear Detroit Steel Delray wheels with Nitto front tires and Mickey Thompson rears. The restored factory-style interior features new dash pad and door panels, stock gauges, restored factory air conditioning and power windows, custom ABS headliner, overhead speakers, Bluetooth-capable stereo with an under-seat 10-inch subwoofer, and a professionally upholstered factory bench seat. Exterior modifications include a custom-fabricated grille, smoked roof running lights, shaved drip rails and trim, added fiberglass dually fenders and a rear roll pan that replaces the rear bumper.
