Ford F-1 Truck with a 600 hp Twin-Turbo 4BT

Ford F-1 truck with a twin-turbo 4BT diesel inline-six

Weaver Customs built this 1950 Ford F-1 truck called “Friction” at their company in West Jordan, Utah. Under the classic hood is a twin-turbo 3.9 L Cummins 4BT inline-four making 600 hp and 1000 lb-ft of torque. Backing that is a 47RH four-speed automatic transmission with full manual valvebody and Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 ratio. Weaver Customs copped the body 1.75 inches and covered it in Toc Gray Axalta paint. They leaned back and flush mounted the windshield and made custom valances and grill. The truck rides on a custom front suspension and 4-link rear suspension with Ridetech adjustable colovers. Behind the custom wheels (18×10, 20×15) are Wilwood 14-inch brakes. The interior is covered in red Hydes Italian leather by JS Custom interiors with painted pipes leading to the intercooler mounted in the bed.

  1. Absolutely gorgeous build. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a 4BT make that much power before. Btw a 4BT is a four cylinder and not a six cylinder.
