  • The factory steel cab was retained keeping the old-school cool intact. Trailer Products fiberglass covered the remaining parts of the truck with the rear bedsides notched along the top for tire clearance. The 37-inch BFG Baja T/A tires as strong enough to do the job as well as 17-inch Walker Evans bead lock wheels. Euro Pacific Auto Body in Vista, California laid down the metallic green paint.

  • When it was time to tackle the dash, Richard dropped the truck off again with Curt at CRB Alumifab. Setup much like a race truck, both the driver and passenger have Racepak gauges in view with communications mounted center mast. The Sparco race wheel is wired with communications buttons and we even spotted the stock windshield wiper controls just behind the wheel. Keep in mind this truck is still driven on the road.

  • Climbing into the passenger seats gives us full control at the Lowrance HDS-10m color GPS/NAV unit. That long row of what looks like buttons under the GPS is actually the fuses for pretty much everything on the truck. A setup like this saves a lot of time when something electronic fails. Also found inside the cabin are three PRP heated race seats, Crow belts, Kenwood race radios and Ipod hookup.

  • Behind the '65 Ford grille is a 442ci GM Performance LSX V-8 motor. Richard chose the '65 grille because it is not as tall as the '75. In order to get his motor just right, Richard visited with the guys at Danzio Performance of Lake Elsinore, California. Richard went with numerous components that Danzio puts in their Trophy Truck motors resulting in, 785 horsepower and 655 lb-ft torque at the flywheel. A few of the motor components include: Dailey Engineering dry-sump oil system, L92 ported heads, Callies crank, Danzio custom cam, JE pistons, T&D rocker arms and it all runs on pump gas. Richard took care of the exhaust system as noted earlier. A 4L80E transmission installed by Kroyer Racing out of Las Vegas, Nevada, transfers all that power to the tires and is controlled through an Art Carr gate style shifter.
