July 2009 Truck of the Month


This month's TOTM belongs to Eagle-460.
From Derek:

"1977 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT 4x4.

It all started a couple of years ago, back in February of 2007. My dad came across this truck through a friend at work. We decided to go have a look at the truck and decided that this was the one (we had been looking for a project for ever). Shortly after we bought the truck we started to get into it and began the transformation. Soon enough the truck was in pieces, and no sooner did we discover all the rust that this truck actually had. New bed-sides, cab corners, floor pans, and countless other patches and pieces had to be put in place. The frame was cleaned up and painted, the drive train components were freshened up, and the 351-Modified/C-6 combo was kept and rebuilt. Finally after a couple of months the truck was put in the paint booth and received a beautiful metallic green paint job along with a spray in bed liner. 15” Dick Cepek DC-1 wheels were installed on 34” Super Swamper TSL tires, new interior was installed and most of the original (but polished) chrome was put back in place.

It’s been about two years now since the restoration, and the truck is holding up great. I drive the truck year round, and am not afraid to use it. It is not the end for this truck though, I have a 521 SCJ aluminum headed monster plan for her in the future. MMM...

I appreciate all your comments and complements on this truck, and I'm honoured to be Ford Truck Fanatics Truck of the Month!"
