We keep on seeing how Ford breaks record after record selling vast quantities of its pickup trucks, and we can’t stop from being amazed of how much Americans love their massive Blue Oval machines with a bed at the back.
2021, for instance, was the 45th consecutive year when the carmaker’s F-Series outpaced the competition, selling 726,004 trucks. That means that as far back as 1976, Ford has been the undeniable champion of the new truck market, and that probably won’t change very soon.
There is, however, one question that keeps popping into our heads: will these millions of trucks sold over the past decade be as appealing for the custom industry decades from now, as the Fs from ages ago are for today’s customers?
Chances are they will, but that’s something for the next generation to sort out. For now, we’ll continue to enjoy our brand new trucks, but also the old ones that flood the custom market.
Coming to our time from way back when America’s love for the F-Series started to take shape, in 1977, this F-100 is one of the freshest conversions out there, with literally no miles on the odometer since converted.
We’re looking at an orange and grey body wrapped around a black interior, and riding on simply massive 22-inch chromed wheels. It’s an imposing look for the truck, shown in these pics almost hugging the ground thanks to the way the ride height was set on the AccuAir air ride suspension system.
The modified chassis of the F-100 holds not only the massaged body, but also a replacement 302ci (5.0-liter) engine running an automatic transmission and breathing through a dual exhaust system. We’re not told how much power the engine develops.
We found the F-100 sitting on the lot of cars being sold by a garage called MaxMotive. The asking price for the truck is $68,900, which is more than you’d pay for a brand new F-150, but about right for one of these beauties.
