The roof-to-frame restoration left no bolt unturned and included a few subtle upgrades for improved performance. The 390 CI V-8 engine packs an open-element air filter and Holley 4-barrel carburetor on an aluminum intake manifold, and a 4-speed manual transmission pounds Ford power down to the ground. Stainless steel exhaust belts out big-block Ford sound. Power steering and brakes join famously tough F350 specification heavy-duty Twin I-Beam front suspension with new steering components and radius rod bushings for road handling and load control.
Two-tone white and green paint is accented with Ranger bright finish on the front bumper, grille, headlight assemblies and rocker panel moldings. Two-tone style and Ranger appointments carry into the body color-keyed cabin. Ford widened the cab for 1967, and the full-width bench seat wears styled vinyl and cloth upholstery for deep-cushioned comfort. Vinyl door panels with wood-grain inset, plush carpet and bright accent moldings add a touch of Lincoln-level luxury. An Autosound OE-style stereo and air conditioning bring contemporary entertainment and climate control with no compromise of factory-issue appearance. The mighty F350 stakebed dump truck rolls on polished aluminum wheels with rear duallys and load-rated radial tires. Dual Air horns let folks know you're coming, and foldaway west coast mirrors give a period-correct glimpse of the road left behind.
