The truck was refinished in red with black fenders and running boards following replacement of some panels and rust repair during the 10-year refurbishment. Pinstripes accent the cab and doors, while gold-colored paint fills “Ford V8” writing on the tailgate. Additional equipment includes steel bumpers, a bright grille and trim, an outward-opening windshield, dual sideview mirrors, and a single windshield wiper.
Staggered-diameter 14″ and 15″ wire wheels feature red-painted accents and chrome trim rings and are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires measuring 215/70 up front and 225/70 at the rear. Braking is handled by Wilwood discs at all four corners.
The oak planks composing the bed floor are separated by stainless-steel trim strips.
The interior was refreshed under previous ownership and features a bench seat trimmed in white and black leather along with complementary door panels and carpeting. Amenities include a body-color dashboard, an Old Air heater and air-conditioning system, red lap belts, a Secretaudio iPod-compatible head unit concealed in the glovebox, and Polk Audio speakers. The selling dealer notes that the air conditioning does not blow cold.
A banjo-style steering wheel on an Ididit column sits ahead of a Classic Instruments 140-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 1k miles. True mileage is unknown.
A 350ci V8 GM crate engine was installed during the multi-year refurbishment and is augmented by a Griffin aluminum radiator, electric cooling fans, a Lone Star Classics wiring harness, and a Zoops engine dress-up kit.
The truck sits on a powdercoated Cornhusker Rod & Custom frame and delivers power to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, a hydraulic clutch, and a Ford 9″ differential. A dual-exit Flowmaster exhaust system is utilized.
Two die-cast models, spare parts, and a car cover are included in the sale.
More than 150 photos taken during the refurbishment are presented in the gallery below, which also contains receipts from the project. Much of the work was performed by Ramsey’s Rods and Restoration of Fort Worth, Texas.
