The bodywork has been repainted in green with beige accents on the jailbar grille and the hood. It has black bumpers, black running boards, bright step plates, a cowl vent, a two piece windshield, dual side mirrors, turn signals, and dual taillights. Rooster Ridge graphics are on both doors, and Ford branded exhaust deflectors sit on the dual tailpipes. The dropdown tailgate opens to reveal wood plank bed flooring separated by bright trim strips, along with a custom matching storage box.
The black painted 16 inch steel wheels with bright hubcaps and trim rings are mounted with 225/70 Goodyear Integrity tires. A spare under a soft cover is secured to the driver side. Braking is handled by four wheel drums.
Inside, the cabin has a bench seat upholstered in brown vinyl. The interior includes a painted metal dashboard, a glovebox, a B and B Deluxe heater, aftermarket speakers, and black rubber flooring. Instrumentation includes a 100 mph speedometer with gauges for amperage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The five digit odometer shows 75k miles, roughly 500 of which I added.
The 239.4ci flathead V8 was factory rated at 100 horsepower. The engine was rebuilt during the refurbishment, and I converted the electrical system to 12 volts under my ownership. Power goes to the rear wheels through a floor shifted three speed manual transmission.
A photo album of images taken before and during the refurbishment will accompany the truck.
