Standing out amongst the countless nameplates that have left Ford’s factory floors can be quite a tough task, especially if you aren’t a sports or muscle car. Ford’s F-series takes up the challenge, spurred on by a 73-year-and-counting production run, and the title of America’s most popular pick-up truck. Naturally it’s one of the Blue Oval’s biggest revenue generators. The F series is also a popular hot rod base. Building a hot rod isn’t easy and why should you go to the trouble when we have this 1948 Ford F100 Pickup up for grabs right now. This enthusiast owned custom truck has just 500 miles on the clock and is reported to have over $140,000 invested into it. Be sure to stand out from the rest behind the wheel of this resto-modded truck and experience vintage Americana with a modern twist.
Exterior and Interior
The Ford F100’s design cannot be mistaken with any other. This 1948 Ford F100 Pickup ups the ante even better. With its purple exterior and custom bodywork this truck can be recognized from miles away. The custom bodywork doesn’t take away from its original silhouette, but blend seamlessly with it. It starts off with the front grille and LED perimeter lighting and is then carried all the way to the rear. The purple theme is also carried onto the interior as well with the carpets and seats being a mix of purple and grey. Sitting behind the wheel and the first thing you would notice is the custom steering and dashboard, which is a mix of grey color and chrome. The Ididit Steering column in place matches with the dashboard which also retains most of its original features except the set of Dakota digital gauges nestled neatly into the dashboard. In terms of other modern features this vehicle is also equipped with power windows and remote door openers.
Engine
Regardless of generation, the Ford F100 has been everyone’s trusted mode of transport and that one friend you can rely on to ensure things happen smoothly, be it hauling goods around or safely taking you and your family to far-flung places. Whilst this 1948 Ford F100 Pickup has been extensively modified at heart it still breathes the same way a vintage truck should. Pop the hood and the first thing you would notice is a heavily modified Flathead V8 engine. It’s been bored, stroked, and spruced up, and puts out an impressive 230hp which is sent to the rear wheels via a C4 automatic transmission. The side exit exhaust allows it to sing its song as well. Helping it steer and stop better are rack and pinion power steering, and power brakes.
