If you're looking for a classic pickup with a singular appearance, and plenty of power and surefootedness to go along with it, this 1976 Ford F-100 Custom Cab 4x4 is worth a close look. You can't help but admire the thoroughly rugged look of this truck. It's just so well put together, sporting a custom adventure rack and dressed in very appealing Satin Red paint that's contrasted by its white roof. Its short bed configuration gives it a robust look, while a tastefully elevated stance further enhances curb appeal and also creates plenty of wheel clearance for your off-asphalt adventures. And, for those adventures, an off-road jack is securely mounted in place to help extricate you from particularly unforgiving terrain.
Somewhat in contrast to its rugged exterior, this F-100 offers a very comfortable and well-sorted driving environment. A fresh TMI split bench sits at the center of its interior, with a sharp woodgrain steering wheel, as well as the shifter and the lever to unleash four-wheel drive agility, within easy reach. Further forward, a collection of Vintage USA gauges sits in the instrument cluster and an AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port has been seamlessly installed in place of the factory-issued radio. Above, the custom suede headliner looks awesome, while below the rubber floor makes post-adventure cleanups an easy chore.
Just a brief experience behind the wheel is all that it will take to convince you that this vintage F-series is about way more than sheer visual impact. It's running great, with an expansive 429-cubic inch V8 lurking beneath the hood that's equipped with Edelbrock aluminum heads and is fed by a Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system that combines with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold. The well-fortified engine exhales into a pair of custom-fabricated shorty headers that minimize performance-sapping back pressure and is backed by a New Process 4-speed manual transmission that shifts without issue. Riding on a well-engineered suspension, this classic ride has surprisingly little body roll around corners, especially for a lifted vehicle and, with a 38-gallon fuel tank onboard, it provides an expansive range between fill-ups. A Ford 9" posi rear end teams with four-wheel drive that's working in top form to offer outstanding agility on roads less travelled.
