The design of the 1956 Ford F-100 is a timeless work of art. Once you start driving one full-time you really start to appreciate the advancements in suspension and engine technology modern trucks have given us. But what if you could have both.

When ordering one of these trucks you get a choice between a 5-liter, 412-horsepower Ford Racing Coyote crate engine or a 630-hp Aluminator Coyote. No matter which one you choose, it’ll be paired with a Ford 4R70W automatic transmission. The truck’s front suspension is fully independent while the rear uses a custom four-link setup with a 9-inch axle. If you want the truck to ride a bit higher, BSI offers a programmable airbag system. Instead, Stroud has hand-fit the gauges from the 2012 Ford King Ranch to the dash. The cab also features a modern center console, climate control and adjustable bucket seats in place of the original bench seating. Pricing starts at $180,000 and goes up depending on how you spec the truck out. Source: www.equipmentworld.com
