I have hated thinking about selling the '68 F-100 truck i was building during my 5 years at Classic Trucks Magazine a while back. But the severe lack of time and a place to keep it has brought me to the decision to cut my losses and sell the truck. Below are the details. It can be had for pennies on the dollar, most all parts are brand new. It would be a reliable 550 horsepower daily driver truck when it's done...
Most all parts listed are brand new and never been used. Truck is located in Orange County California.
-2008 Ford 4.6L 3-Valve V8 crate engine from Ford Racing
-Ford Racing/Whipple Big Boost supercharger kit 550hp w/intercooler

-Front frame kicked up 2â€, wheel centerline moved forward 1 ¾†for aggressive look
-Proshock coilovers at each corner
-Fatman Fab rear 4-link suspension installed sunk into chassis for lower ride height
-rear frame step notched over rearend
-custom 2 ½†stainless exhaust system TIG welded from mandrel U-bends
-bedfloor raised 5†to clear chassis, but floor remains flat
-body and bed soda blasted, in bare metal, no rust, minimal dings
-lots of extra parts and more
Needs finish sheetmetal work, minor fab, welding finishing certain areas of the bed, tranny tunnel, and engine compartment. Needs paint and body, a driveshaft. Most all the parts are here. The truck was the Classic Truck Magazine Bumpside Build-Off truck from a few years back. I did many, many tech stories on this truck as I built it. When finished, if it is nice, Classic Trucks Magazine would still love to run a full feature on it and possibly run it on the cover!
I’m asking $15,000 for it, would trade all or part for vintage Harley motorcycles and parts 1969 and earlier. Possible trade for running, nice vintage cars or trucks, but no 4 doors and no projects. The asking price would only cover the engine and supercharger that’s in the truck. It’s a deal. There is probably $30-40K in parts and $20K in labor so far. All the hard work is done except body and paint. Serious parties email

Don't worry your pretty little head Adam, I'll definitely be packing my dukes for the EDR. I'm actually thinking about making them a little shorter before we go. I figure it will be real hot and I can't have my balls over heating. Not sure if I'll have the time though, might just have to go with the banana hammock.
