Over 500HP On Tap in This Sweet Custom 1954 F-100
A lot of time was spent modifying this F-100 both mechanically and stylistically. Now it can all be yours since it's up for auction.
Custom Build
This '54 F-100 has undergone a frame-off custom restoration that was completed in 2013. All the man-hours poured into this truck haven't gone unnoticed: it's a multiple award winner. Could you be tempted to place a bid when it goes up for auction?

Under The Hood
Propelling this beauty is a GM 502 ci V8 crate motor. This monster churns out 502 horsepower and has racked up just 1,300 miles. All of this power is sent through a 4L60E stage automatic transmission with a Compshift electronic control module.

Stopping Power
It'd be irresponsible to put a 502 horsepower engine in a 66-year-old truck without upgrading its brakes. This pickup has been fitted with 11-inch drilled and slotted rotors, along with front and rear Wilwood 4-piston brakes. Unsurprisingly, these calipers have been polished.

It Shines
This F-100's engine bay is arguably more impressive than its exterior. It features chrome-plated and aluminum polished valve covers, intake, water pump, air conditioning pump, and brackets, alternator, and pulleys.

Interior
The Gray and Silver leather interior looks fantastic. But what stands-out inside is the billet aluminum dash panel with custom gauges. Music lovers will also be interested in the Retro manufactured radio and major sound system.
