1955 Ford F-100 Restomod by Truck Trend
This 1955 Ford F-100, built by PowerNation TV hosts Jeremy Bumpus and Lawrence Tolman, stands out as a sophisticated restomod. It's powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine producing 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, paired with a TREMEC TKO600 five-speed manual transmission. The original frame has been replaced with a JW Rod Garage chassis, featuring a Mustang II front end and a Currie 9-inch rear end. Handling is enhanced by a parallel 4-link setup with Viking coilover shocks, while stopping power comes from Baer disc brakes. Visually, the truck features subtly reworked body lines, widened fenders, shaved door handles, and a 2-inch chopped roof, all highlighted by PPG white paint. Inside, the custom interior showcases black and grey vinyl, orange stitching, and Dakota Digital VHX gauges. This award-winning build, now owned by Tom Sutton, is a testament to modern technology blending with classic style.
