2003 Ford F150 Prerunner - Jet Blue

One of the reasons we dig Scott's truck so much, aside from the killer fab work, is that the overall quality is nicer than most show trucks. This is arguably one of the cleanest prerunners we've seen to date. The all-fiberglass body was laid up by McQueen Prototype Design of Hermosa Beach, California, and features some pretty trick ideas. First off, the one-piece front end tilts forward, offering excellent access to the engine and suspension. The flared rear panels are finished nicely and feature a hinged deck lid that flows around the spare BFGoodrich Project KR tires and Robbie Gordon wheels. Dave Wachter Paint Designs sprayed the PPG Subaru WRX Blue paint, and Line-X of Long Beach, California, coated the lower half of the body with color-matching bedliner material to protect the paint from rock chips.

The interior of the prerunner is just as sano. Newline fabbed up the dash to place all the most important controls within Scott's reach. The new dash plays host to a full complement of PCI Race Radio gear, a modified Lowrance GPS system, and a Pioneer Audio head unit. Rockford Fosgate amplifiers are stashed below the passenger side of the dash, a gang of Rockford speakers is mounted in the doors, while a 10-inch Rockford sub is ingeniously mounted into the rear portion of the rollcage. Ron Mangus trimmed the interior with blue tweed and wrapped flames into the door and roof panels.

When your job is to pilot a Trophy Truck across the desert at speeds in excess of 100 mph, you'd better know the terrain ahead of time. Having a prerunner that gets the job done is paramount, but having a prerunner that offers all the creature comforts and moves you from start to finish in style is even cooler. Scott Steinberger has accomplished that goal with the help of some great friends and we wish him luck in the upcoming season.
