Ghostly F-100 Street Machine Cruises Pigeon Forge (Video)
What do you have to do to make a ’68 Ford drool-worthy? Not much.
There are a ton of over-the-top, wild and crazy custom Ford trucks out there. With giant chrome wheels, air bag suspensions and flashy paint jobs, they are rolling attention-grabbers and oftentimes, pieces of art.
But you don’t need to do much to make a ’60s Ford truck awesome. In fact, we would argue that only a few subtle mods are needed to take a stock F-Series from this era and take it all the way up to drool status. And this 1968 F-100 is proof of that.
You won’t find anything wild or crazy on this ride. In fact, it’s the kind of truck you can drive daily or on cruise nights. It has a nice stance, but isn’t lowered to the point where you can’t drive it through some potholes. Plus, Wimbleton White is as understated as it gets.
Boss wheels are a nice touch without going too crazy, and they fit these ’60s Fords perfectly. The chrome and trim is intact, with no shaving or relocating the gas cap. As for t interior, it is likewise extremely clean and understated, with a custom cover on the stock bench seat that really stands out and matches the headliner.
The engine bay is extremely sanitary, with clean fenders and just the right amount of chrome. The 351 Cleveland sounds great, and has go-fast bits like a Holley 750cfm carb and a mild cam. The ’68 is a true driver with power steering, power brakes, Vintage Air and a C6 automatic transmission.
It’s hard to imagine a classic Ford that would make for a better driver and mild cruiser than this 1968 F-100. This truck is the kind of vehicle that will garner you all the right kind of attention with it’s subtle looks and mellow nature. And for a lot of us, that’s what we would call the perfect truck.
