1938 Ford Pickup Restomod

Description

We might try to call this 1938 Ford Pickup a Rat Rod with its level of true patina style inside and out. However, with a fuel-injected V8, overdrive transmission, power windows, an upgraded suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes, this truck cruises with pure restomod ease.

This is a genuine patina'd body, which is always going to get you instant credibility wherever you go. It just seems like a truck with this aged-in style has earned a respected parking spot wherever it goes. And we also love this truck for the distinct barrel-nose style that was exclusive to only a few years of Ford trucks. The curvaceous front bumper, full-length running boards, and rounded fenders are all part of this vintage charm, too. But it's not the classic pieces that really set this one apart. Those large 18-inch Rocket wheels draw attention to the sporty forward-leaning stance. Plus, the updated wood bet, LED tail lights, and crystal clear headlights hint at this truck's full nature.

The interior shows more of this blending of vintage and new worlds. The door panels, dash, and metal pieces all retain the classic patina. However, where a rat rod might only give you a lawn chair for upholstery, this one makes sure you are comfortable with newer carpeting and a modern bench seat borrowed from a late-model SUV. This even gives you the convenience of power windows. This is also built to be a better driver with a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, a polished tilt column, and a full set of backlit Stewart Warner gauges. And the Holly Terminator EFI controller on the dash is a nice sign of a terrific upgrade under the hood.

The engine bay is a little sly with the classic Ford V8 badge on top of the motor. But really, we can all recognize a modern powerhouse. This is a 5.3-liter Vortec V8, which is a terrific addition for power and consistency. A modern powerhouse like this comes with all the best features, including electronic fuel injection and a serpentine belt system. And more than just a solid power upgrade, this one is made to be a true driver. That's why you have everything from an aluminum radiator to a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. The chassis now includes an upgrade to a tubular A-arm independent front end. Plus, rack & pinion power steering, a newer set of modern performance tires, and four-wheel power disc brakes deliver a true street machine that's easy to enjoy.

This is your chance at something powerful, unique, comfortable, and all-around awesome. Don't miss out, call today!
