The cab and bed were removed from the frame and taken down to bare metal before dent and rust repairs were performed, the windows were replaced, and the truck was painted silver. Additional modifications reportedly include a 1953 Ford-sourced grille that was narrowed and sectioned along with Newport windshield wipers, United Pacific headlights, integrated turn signals, and Pontiac-sourced taillights. The seller reports a rock chip is present on the windshield.

The cab and bed were removed from the frame and taken down to bare metal before dent and rust repairs were performed, the windows were replaced, and the truck was painted silver. Additional modifications reportedly include a 1953 Ford-sourced grille that was narrowed and sectioned along with Newport windshield wipers, United Pacific headlights, integrated turn signals, and Pontiac-sourced taillights. The seller reports a rock chip is present on the windshield.
A spare wheel and tire are stored in a wood box in the bed. The plywood bed cover is trimmed in black Haartz Twillfast cloth and features hydraulic lift cylinders and a steel frame.
Five-spoke 17″ American Racing wheels are mounted with 215/55 front and 235/60 rear Milestar MS932 Sport tires showing production date codes from 2020. A narrowed front suspension from a 2007 Crown Victoria is reportedly fitted along with a Lincoln Mark VIII-sourced independent rear suspension. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The truck is equipped with Ridetech adjustable coilovers and nickel-copper brake lines.
The front bucket seats were sourced from a 2003 Ford Taurus and are upholstered in gray cloth. The driver’s seat is power-adjustable, and additional amenities include power-operated windows, a Vintage Air climate control system, LED interior lights, a Kenwood head unit, and Infinity speakers.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames Dakota Digital instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer shows 3,500 miles, which is said to represent the total mileage since the build was completed. Total mileage is unknown.
The 5.0-liter V8 is said to have been sourced from a 1987 Ford Mustang and features Holley Sniper fuel injection and block-hugger headers along with Trick Flow valve springs, an aluminum radiator, and Walker exhaust components. The seller reports the alternator, oil pump, water pump, ignition switch, power steering pump, and fuel tank, pump, and lines were replaced during the refurbishment. An oil leak is present and the seller states the power steering pump whines. An oil change was performed in January 2022.
The truck sits on a fabricated frame. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential with a 3.27:1 rear gear. The driveshaft, U-joints, and clutch components were replaced during the refurbishment.
