The more modern truck&#8217;s chassis, suspension, ABS brakes, supercharged 5.4 L V8 and transmission were going inside the classis Ford body. In this episode the team pulls everything apart to get media blasted and coated. Then everything was put back together including some small stuff needed to complete the project.  <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
