If you're thinking about going custom for your first or you're looking for your next custom vehicle adventure, this 1949 Ford F-1 is one cool way to do it. The black paint job with flame decals and dual side exhaust stacks is a definite crowd pleaser. Front and rear bumpers have been deleted in favor of a front valance and rear roll pan, and both look great. The custom vents on the hood are eye-catching, while the shaved door handles firmly place this truck in the custom category. The interior blends stock and custom vibes. Large gray vinyl seats provide comfort for people of all sizes.
The easy-to-reach floor shifter, stylish custom steering wheel, and Clarion AM/FM/CD radio all add to the appeal. New/old school VOD gauges deliver a retro feel, accented by stainless steel trim that ties in with the radio, wiper, and heat control cluster. Sitting atop the dash is a programmable Pro-Comp tachometer, keeping you off the redline when you're scorching those tires. Powering this custom cruiser is a 302 cubic-inch V8 equipped with a single 4-barrel Holley carburetor atop an aluminum intake for fuel and air distribution. Gear changes are handled by a 5-speed Borg Warner T5 transmission, which feeds into a 9-inch rear end with a rear-end cooler.
Up front, the independent suspension features coil springs, shocks, and a sway bar. In the rear, a solid axle with trailing arms, a panhard bar, coil springs, and shocks provides stability. The stance is enhanced by aftermarket 15-inch wheels wrapped in Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Before the exhaust exits through the side stacks, it runs through shorty headers and glasspack-style mufflers, giving it a throaty, aggressive sound.
