1949 Ford F1 Pickup Truck
There are times when a restomod doesn't do the original justice, and then there are those that are able to gentrify a vehicle without compromising its historic roots. This 1949 Ford F1 Pickup Truck is one such example, mixing a tweaked 351 cubic inch V8 Windsor crate motor with 325 horsepower with a C6 3-speed transmission. A coat of BMW Bronzit 2-stage paint was added, then color-sanded and buffed to give it an eye-catching look. Add in hand-rubbed Hickory sidebars to accent the bed, and you've got a restored classic that should haul and tow as well in its rebirth as it did before the makeover — but look way better in the process.
