Build story
The truck is 49 Ford F1
Powered by a built Toyota 2JZ
Backed by a T56 6 speed sequential shifter from S1. I designed and build the trans adapter.
It’s sitting on independent front and rear suspension from Supra. And air bag struts from a Mercedes that I heavily modified to fit. The shock towers and frame geometry were all done in 3D space. This took the guessing out of the work, but also allowed for no waste in materials or time. The only original part of the frame is the center section where the cab sits, in front and behind the cab is all custom for the suspension. Designed so the truck will sit on the floor. And since it’s independent rear that means no ugly bed hump or raised bed floor, this keeps it a truck and allows me to still be able to load motorcycles.
Modified Standalone engine harness from Tweak’d Performance.
It’s has a stand alone ecu (not mentioning the brand, because I no longer endorse them).
The truck is tuned from Bend Calibration In Oregon.
Partnered with crafty B fuel caps
And the one and only sponsor that took a chance with me is Phenix Industries, they supplied all the AN fitting and components and I couldn’t of asked for a better partner.
And as far has the rest of the truck for things that can’t be made like GT45 turbo and waste gate and bov are replicas because this build is self funded and that is what I can afford at the moment. And everything else has been fabricated. Like : intake manifold, exhaust manifold,4” all aluminum exhaust, aluminum sheet metal valve covers, coil cover, intercooler, radiator, fuel tank, catch can, brake/ clutch/ power steering/ coolant fluid tanks. It’s has a tablet for the dash, Air conditioning, Heater etc. All the electrical is controlled by can-bus touch screen electronics. All the wiring is mill spec, using braided loom and deutsch connectors. Tons and tons of aluminum work. Custom painted art work done on the truck by me. The bed floor features a rustic, aged American flag that I did. Built the tailgate from scratch and made the “ford” script emblem pressed from cnc plasma cut stamp. Also truck has Led upgraded all the way around. The taillight I made which feature, taillight, brakelight, turn, and reverse all in one small unit That captures that vintage and period correct look. Truck features a rear “diffuser” which mainly for looks but the fuel tank was designed to accommodate it. Even the fuel pump hanger assembly I designed and made. The front air dam houses the air filter which is funneled thru 4” aluminum tubing into the turbo. No silicone couplers on the truck, all HD Aluminum clamshell claps. Being the first person to Having two vehicles accepted in one year for the youngguns is amazing, made a little bit of history. Nice to show others it can be done.
