Hey all, we've got some cool things happening in the Speedtech Rod Shop, one of which is a new project we're pretty excited about. If you all remember Bentley's super clean '68 Nova we did a couple years ago, (Click Here for more Nova Pics (http://www.speedtechperformance.com/index.cfm?ptype=product&product_id=291&category_id=7&mode=prod)) well we're back at it with another project to fill his garage.

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag70/SpeedTechPerformance/68%20Red%20Nova%20Bnt/68Nova40_zpsf2eba0fb.jpg


The Nova had some real sentimental value, Bentley's dad had a red '68 when he was younger and so he wanted to build one like it, only a pro Touring version, for himself. The F100 on the other hand wasn't something he really thought much of owning, it just sort of happened to fall into his hands.

Now, you all have seen the fantastic performance we were able to get out of our honest street truck ExtReme chassis'ed '67-72 C10, and Bentley's got similar performance expectations for his fat fendered ride. Much like Darwin's survival of the fittest concept, we feel the same about our ExtReme products and yet another opportunity to adapt and evolve into something better has presented itself. With that said, Bentley's F100 will become the predecessor to a new line of ExtReme 50's F100 Chassis systems!

As you can see we're starting with what looks to be a mild maybe early 90's local car show level build that got some blingy 20" wheels slapped on it somewhere along the way. Besides looking a bit outdated, there are some areas where the body work is falling apart and rust is starting to form. Little things like weatherstrip etc. are also starting to fall apart. Bentley's got a little different taste than the salmon pink earlier days vibe, so I'm currently working on the refreshed new look rendering, and will have this truck's vision posted soon. Bookmark the page and follow along as we completely rebuild this ol' grass sittin' at the car show grandpa into a lean and mean serious street machine!

Yep it's a Ford. It'll be all GM drivetrain underneath though so we're doing our part to unite the world in friendship and tolerance. Lol!

I was informed today that it may not be a '56. I asked the owner but he wasn't sure, he's still waiting on the title. When I googled 56 F100 I found some pics with this somewhat unique grill so I based the suggested year off that. Anyone savvy with these trucks and know the differences between the different 50's models? Might be some good trivia conversation as I work out the rendering details.

Yes the wheels likely were. Now folks would probably say they look like..., well you know. :D

You can see a 56 from space once you know what you are looking for. The windshield wraps around the A pillar and the vent windows are rectangular instead of triangular. There is also a small and big back window version of that one year only cab.

That truck appears to be a '54.

Here is a 56 with nearly as awesome wheels.

Well we've got the old boy torn down and ready for media blasting. So far looks like not too much rust and body work to deal with, however we all know the media blaster doesn't lie so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

Included in these pics are a focus on where body mods will be taking place. We have more photos on our webpage photo gallery, Click Here ---> Bentley's 55 F100 (http://www.speedtechperformance.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=7/mode=cat/cat7.htm)

Back to work on the F100! First off I've wrapped up the rendering. Bentley wanted a look that says pro-touring but with a little bit of Dub City Diecast look to it. The body lines on this thing are like the everlasting rolling hills of Indiana and really needs something more than a single color to break things up. As many of these trucks have been done multi-tone paint was in order but we wanted to steer clear of the common separate the colors with a heartbeat swoosh stripe on the door. Packing a Speedtech ExtReme chassis our design concept needs to visually stand out so it hits a little different chord by combining charcoal grey, silver, and a really cool shade of BMW blue. That amazing suspension and drivetrain along with a wicked stance, super wide tires and some minor custom body mods it'll for sure be unique from the parked in the grass show car scene.

After disassembly you really get a feel for just how small the passenger compartment on these things are, right?

Media blasting always reveals the sore spots, and luckily for a truck this old that's been worked and reworked, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. We were able to save most of the sheetmetal, but it will still take some rust repair and hammer and dolly work to even it all out. More coming soon...

Bentley lucked out on it being mostly rust free, but even still, to properly repair some of the already done repairs would be more labor costly than replacing some sheet metal so we opted for that on a couple areas: the front valance, one front fender, and one bed side along with a couple patch panels. We also picked up a pair of widened rear fenders as well. Pictured below is a 315-30-18, it looks tiny in that huge old fender! We haven't got the chassis fully built yet but we're thinking a 335 all the way around would clear easily. So far we're looking at 20" wheels up front and 22"s out back.

While the body repairs and upgrades are underway our welding team got the ExtReme F100 chassis mocked up and we slipped the engine and trans into place to begin fitment. Once in place we mocked it all up with the cab. This will be our first of many future LT builds, we're pretty excited to get this program off the ground. The F100 is a great way to showcase this too, not many would expect to see that mill under the hood.

Because the customer wanted a lt4.
The Coyote is so huge and we would have had to do custom headers motor mounts and various other things and then you still don't get 650hp.
we may look at incorporating the parts need to do a Coyote in the future if we get some action on the chassis. but i can tel you that a traditional SBF or BBF will not fit with the rack placement so that is an issue.

Body work continues. We're using a flush mount Kindigit door handle and deleting the key hole. The handle is located below the body line now and will be centered in the silver stripe.

https://i.imgur.com/JCJ9UCa.jpg

On the front fenders we raised the rear lower portion to line up with the running board and match the fiberglass rear fenders. A subtle mod that will clean up the bottom line of the truck.

https://i.imgur.com/MRkOXOY.jpg

Next up, the cancer at the drip rail line was cut out plus a little extra to make sure it's all gone.

https://i.imgur.com/5knfZ8B.jpg

Finally for now another subtle mod to the tailgate- the ribs and Ford logo are deleted and the outer vertical rails had material added to make them blend better than the original simple squared off shape. This theme will carry around to the side vertical rails, and in the process the hinges will be hidden.

I like where this is going. Nice job Ben and crew.

The first thing I think of is the cabs on trucks of that era are TINY. I couldn't even release the clutch on a friends truck without hitting the dash or wheel. I always wonder were people that much shorter back then?

The new 8 speed, and yea Donny is right the pan is DEEP but no lower than the frame rail. so it will work out nice.

Gofast- Thanks! I can't claim to be a part of any of the cool work that's going into the truck outside of initial design and snapping the pics as it all unfolds. We've got a great crew here at our shop, they're all very talented in their specific duties, and just plugging along out of the limelight they don't often get the recognition they receive. Speedtech wouldn't be what it is without them. :cheers:

Sheck- I'll be sure to grab pics on that as we get to that point.

Here's the front tire getting fit to find wheel back space. Between the ExtReme frame's huge clearance and the wide fenders there's lots of room in there for fat meats. This is a big tire, crazy how it gets swallowed up in there!

Also in the works is the preliminary metal work to create a flush mount windshield. The back window will get this treatment too to help smooth things a bit. Note also the rust repair near the drip rail went well.

Here you can see the mods necessary to run a modern transmission and enough engine set back. As mentioned this truck is getting fitted with an 8 speed transmission which is really tall compared to other GM automatics. Even so, the height of the tunnel isn't too obtrusive and will make for a nice base for a custom console.

Working through some more fab work on the interior, we had to rebuild the window opening so that it accommodated the flush mount glass and looked good on the inside.

We're using late model Mustang GT seats which have all kinds of cool gizmos built it which we plan to have remain functional, pic shows the bottom of the seat. To get these seats sitting right Jeremy's currently working on custom seat mounts. More coming...

We needed a few inches of clearance to fit the 335 rear tires and wanted the bed's inner fenderwells to match the contour of the outers so Jeremy built these custom inner tubs. Also seen here is we'll be using wood in the bed floor for that classy look.

Here's a mock up of the static ride height on coilovers at ideal height for racing geometry. We're thinking to go another 1" drop in the front since this particular truck likely won't see much racing.

At this height he'll still have full suspension travel and zero worries about frame ground clearance being too little; and no old school cutting of the floor to channel the frame either. Rolling on his 305 mm front tires it'll still clear 30 deg of steering angle too. Wicked!

Moving into the door mods we're installing one piece glass to eliminate the wing windows and part of the process is filling the gap where the wing window frame was. Once the door was gutted we found it to be quite flimsy, so while we were fixing up this top area we built some support structure inside each door. We're also using Kindigit flush door handles and got the inner structures TIG welded in. Just a little more sheet metal work left and then on to finish body work.

The cab is getting close to starting the finish body work, meanwhile the bed has been hammered and dollied and had a slight skim coat of metal glaze run over the surface, and then is sanded to perfection. The bed is almost done, and the next step will be to bed line the underside.

Even though this was a new fender it still takes some effort to get that sheetmetal perfectly straight. A skim coat and block sanding does the trick and will help accentuate the truck's flowing lines and BMW blue hue. Door handle pockets for the Kindigit flush handles are near finished too.

Thanks for the input! At this point Bentley is still undecided so this might turn into a surprise reveal later on.

Here's a cool bit of custom work- what do you do when you lack a decent headliner? Of course there are several methods for this issue but we wanted this interior with it's late model Mustang cues to have that same level of smoothness and refinement to the headliner and other interior panels. The solution we have going on here is flip the truck upside down, fill the roof cavity with a special foam, shape the foam and fiberglass over it, and then add a thin skimcoat of metal glaze to smooth and even it all out. This will be wrapped in leather and then trim pieces will be made to finish off the edges.

More details coming in here and underneath the cab, stay tuned!

While the cab was in the body work booth getting final sanding and the bottom bed lined the back half of the truck was in the paint booth making the transition from busted up to BMW blue and beautiful. As usual Bob laid down some sweet hue which after curing will get buffed to a glass-like finish. To be continued...

Paint is all done. chassis is all powdercoated, next step is final assembly. we will have is all semi assembled in the next week or so and sitting on the wheels hopefully in 2 weeks this will look amazing at ride height!!
I am really excited to see this one.
A little back ground, the FIRST vehicle I purchased with my own money (I was washing cars at the local ford dealer for 2.25/hour) was a 53 F100, I started building a hot rod it has a 350 olds engine in it and i built some drop spindles i media blasted it and actually got it running and sitting on the wheels before i abandoned it. that was a couple years ago lol, so it will be really cool to see this one done.

My second "car" was a '56 F-100 == dark blue bottom - white top - 6 cylinder 3 speed column...... with Uniroyal Tiger Paws..... LOL


Was a great truck -- just add 2 or 3 quarts of oil daily.


I towed SEARCH LIGHTS with it -- 60" carbon arc lights -- and I think I made about $1.75 an hour at the time.

Great stories!

Initial mock up of body panels on the F100. Hmmm, maybe 2 tone isn't necessary after all?

Been trying to find who makes a 22" tire that wide. What brand will you be using?

Looks awesome. A wedge cut in that windshield would have been icing on the cake.
