Details

This custom 1956 Ford F-600 pickup build was a 3-year-long project with over 8,000 hours invested. The body started as a single family-owned farm truck that was built into a one-off, diesel-powered, quad-cab truck. The cab was stretched to accommodate a set of rear suicide doors and reinforced throughout. A new roof section was hand-fabricated as were new rockers, the custom steel dash and the handmade center console. The front of the truck has a custom-made valance and grille section, and the engine compartment has a handmade steel firewall and radiator cover panel. The bed of the truck is completely one-off and has custom bedsides, bed floor and rear valence. All the bed panels were welded together and have round corners to match the cab. The rear tailgate was also handmade and features a custom internal latching system. The truck has paint and bodywork that was finished at a show-car level, and the clearcoat was sanded through 8000 grit and then polished and buffed to achieve a mirror finish. Top-of-the-line Glasurit 55 line of paint was used. The frame was built to accommodate a Porterbuilt Mustang II-style front and a rear 4-link to hold the custom and narrowed 14-bolt rear end. The truck has a rack & pinion steering rack good for 1200 PSI and it rides on an AccuAir suspension with two tanks and two pumps, also from AccuAir. The truck uses Goodyear airbags on all four corners with three programmable ride-height settings that are auto-adjusting or can also be adjusted manually. The engine is a hot-rod diesel, Cummins 24-valve, built by D&J Precision Machine in Ohio and capable of 1000hp. The block is a 6.7-liter with X-beam rods, a D&J HD girdle, D&J ARP head studs, D&J pushrods and a Hamilton cast cam. It has a D&J Billet front cover, Stage 4 head upgrade, 6.7 rail and lines, billet soft plug upgrade and a 48RE transmission. The engine uses compound turbos and includes a FirePunk diesel tuner. The interior was created from scratch and has a hand-built dash, hand-built center console, custom door panels, custom seats, a handmade headliner, a Sparks billet steering wheel, Dakota Digital gauges, Relicate leather and zebra wood inlays. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
