What do you guys think?
by elgemcdlf on Sun Dec 18, 2011 9:00 pm
I found these pics over at FTE. This is not a real truck. It is a Photoshop truck. I know it's not a bump but I really like it. Am considering getting a '57 and building it.

He did it as an April Fools day joke. Had a complete writeup all about being a Ford prototype to compete with the Cameo. How Ford only made 39 & a friend of Henry Ford II bout 6 as giveaways to his top salesmen. Even went as far as giving a history of this truck along with only 2 known to still to be in existance. One being used as a farm truck and the other sold at Barrett Jackson for $885,xxx. Then he April Fooled you and told how he did it in Photoshop. It looks pretty easy to build. Cut the quarters off the side of a widebox and weld on quarters from a station wagon.
If you look at the pic showing the rear you will see the green paint doesn't go up to the chrome and is all wavy.

Me too. The more I look at it the more I like it. I am thinking same suspension as my '70 (CV IFS/MN12 IRS), 460/C6, dash out of a '57 Fairlane (year correct for this truck) & am caught about the nose. Keeping the truck as in teh pics or cutting off the bottom of the grille and putting a car grill under it with the car bumper from '57. I would paint it just like this (maybe different colors but the 2 tone pattern) complete with the modified trim down both sides. I would look into period correct Thunderbird AC and if the TBirds in '57 had pwr windows looking into using them. Making it look like a resto rod. Possibly laying the top of the tailgate inward so it slopes downward as on the Ranchero.

I'd drive the wheels off of it! The body lines look great.

I like it and it looks very real to me. If this is a photoshop, that´s a hell of a job well done!
