\"1977<\/a><\/p>\n

Custom Willy’s Fabrication<\/a> built this 1977 Ford F-150 at their company in Montrose, Colorado. In the engine bay they swapped a 7.3 L Godzilla V8 crate motor featuring an iron block, forged steel crank, cast aluminum pistons, and 10.5:1 compression. The big-block motor produces 430 hp (316 kW) and 485 lb-ft (657 Nm) of torque. Behind that is a ZF six-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. Power is split between a Dana 44 front axle and Ford 9-inch rear axle with 4.56 ratio. The truck rides on a 4-inch suspension lift with James Duff radius arms, adjustable rear links, and Fox shocks. On the outside they coated the body, front bumper, and dentside long bed in metallic silver paint. Inside the wells are Fuel Maverick 20-inch wheels with Toyo Open Country AT 35×12.5-inch tires. The unique truck is for sale on Bring a Trailer<\/a>. <\/p>\n
