It’s what everybody wants now And a Great Investment As Well!!! If you know this series of F1 Trucks with high-end craftsmanship, you know a few important key points… They are Very Hot, Very Collectable, Eye-Catching, offers modern ride/drive, trendy and fast! While it looks, rides and drives like a 6-figure truck, it will be bought for a fraction of that and little expense was spared during its build. This professional grade 2-year build came out of Hank Groves well known “Street Rod Center” located in Woodstock, IL. Hank’s shop and this truck have been featured in multiple articles as it was being constructed and just after it was finished. This F1 was built to drive and has had the necessary miles put on it breaking it in and making sure it is road-ready for Power Tours, cruises, shows, family trips, etc… There are many subtle but significant modifications including but not limited to the 2” wider rear fenders, bed-corner sunken antenna, smoothed tailgate with hidden pushbutton release eliminating the chains. New fuel tank just under the bed with hidden slide-out gas lid cover inside bed, custom LED brake lights under the tailgate and in the ends of the rolled bed-sides. An unbelievable sounding MagnaFlow exhaust with custom MagnaFlow Tips exiting through the rear fender sides (Very tastefully done). And this is just the outside… the inside compartment is equal to or nicer than the exterior. The door jams are very slick as is the dash and interior chrome / stainless. This Truck has zero rust issues and runs and drives like a new vehicle…it stops people in their tracks when you stop and they see the paint, interior or under the hood. It’s hard to pin-point your favorite thing about this ride…is it the cool stance, the great color combination, the many subtle modifications, Ice-Cold Air, very tight ride & drive or just the look and sound of the engine! Either way it puts smiles on and you hear nothing but compliments. Things work as they should including but not limited to Headlight/Taillights, Signals, Interior dash, Gauges, Heat & A/C, Speedometer, Wiper, Horn, Stereo, etc… Get in, hit the key, turn on the AC and hit the road smiling…that is all it takes to have fun in this one…it was built to drive but at a nice level allowing you to show it with confidence. Is this F1 perfect? No and none of them are… the only thing that comes to mind is the up / down license plate is a little slow occasionally. I am stretching to find something here.
