1967 Ford F-100 Scrapyard Rescue Build Is A Magical Mashup

This nice truck is made up of a mish-mash of parts from Ford, but it also has a Chevy part or two.

Restoring and modernizing a classic vehicle using a mish-mash of parts might be a hit-or-miss prospect, but this 1967 Ford F-100 with a 4.6-liter modular V8 mill looks quite lovely. Built by a guy named Joe Henke, it is obvious he poured a lot of love and labor into this thing as it started as something destined for a rusty death in a scrap yard.

As shared by Henke on the Holley official YouTube channel, the truck in question was rebuilt using a wide variety of bits from the ground up. Some were from Ford and Chevy, while others were fully custom-built.

The front coilovers were from a second-gen Ford Mustang. These work together with a custom 4-link at the rear to give the pickup a slammed appearance, with other highlights including Brembo brakes and a set of aftermarket bronze-tinged alloy wheels.

Propelling this example of the ancestor of the Ford F-150, as mentioned above, is a 4.6-liter modular V8, which in this case came from a Ford Mustang SVT Cobra and can dish out 320 horsepower and 317 lb-feet of torque. Shifting gears is done via a T-45 five-speed manual gearbox, while the engine’s oomph is managed by a Holley Terminator X EFI system. Power is delivered to the truck’s rear wheels via an 8.8-inch rear axle from a Ford Explorer.

On the outside, the truck’s body is clad in satin vinyl. The front bumper is still from an F-100 but was made of three separate bumpers, while the rear bumper is from a Chevy C10 but has been flipped upside-down. Exhaust tips have been integrated here, and the front grille is entirely custom. These elements and a body accent line were painted to match the wheels, providing a clean but clearly custom look.

The cabin is equally as nice as the body and looks close to the original but with some niceties like re-upholstered seats, Holley gauges, and a custom shifter.

Overall, we love it, and the fact that this build keeps a doomed classic on the road is all the more reason to be enamored by its beauty.
