The Whole Crew: Family First in This ’60 F-850
When you’re a welder by trade, you can kind of just cut stuff apart, add some other stuff, and then weld it all together to make new stuff. And while it’s great to get paid to do it, it’s even better to have some downtime to put those skills to use on personal projects—like Sergio Cueto’s ’60 F-850. When he decided to tackle another build to replace his ’59 Ford dualie, he wanted to make sure he had room for the whole family.
Lifted trucks may look like big, scary beasts. But in reality, they’re very timid and, if cared for properly, will give you years of enjoyment and plenty of love in return. With regular feedings of gas or diesel, they will grow to an impressive size in no time at all! They love playing in the mud as much as they do getting a bath, making them perfect for city dwellers and country folk alike. You probably have questions, and we have some answers. These are the top 10 questions we’ve received about lifted trucks, and our take on them.
Calling all Ford fans! Here, we feature the top Ford trucks from this year’s Lone Star Throwndown! Lifted, lowered, painted, and patinaed, we showcase the best of the best Blue Ovals that showed at the annual Conroe, Texas, event.
After checking out Battle in Bama a few years ago, Carlos Galnares started in on his adventure in trying to locate a GMC Sierra single cab. After some very aggressive searching, a white ’19 single cab was located. Carlos then made plans to have it delivered to Phat Phabz so the trans-formation could begin. Shop owner Jake McKiddie had the goal of building Carlos’s GMC to be the first bodied ’19 single cab on 28-inch Intro Billets and show it at the 2019 SEMA show.
A few of the many delights of any truck enthusiast are the possibilities and fantasies that we carry as children. Whether it’s posters on the walls of our rooms or Hot Wheels that we “modi-fied” in the living room against our parents’ wishes, we grew up with fantasies about what we wanted to drive. Efrain Valdez of Manor, Texas, had his dream truck in mind since he was 8 years old. His dream was to own a two-door Chevy Tahoe. But with the emergence of the rapidly selling Chevy Tahoe in the four-door version, it looked like his dream might never come to fruition.
Brian Wojcik is the lucky owner of this killer patina-clad ’77 C10 Scottsdale, as well as half-owner of the very shop that built it. Brian currently resides in Las Vegas, but the shop that he is very much invested in, Smoky Mountain Rod & Customs, is based in Knoxville, Tennessee. Sure, that’s a big piece of space that stands in his way, but luckily Brian found himself a great partner in Rob Perry. The two are able to get together, make things happen and bridge that nearly 2,000-mile gap with constant communication and a likeminded devotion to creating the coolest custom vehicles.
