Ford F-100

The Build

A 1959 Ford F-100 restored in turquoise in the Bodie Stroud shop.

Vehicle History

The 1959 F-100 marked the final year of Ford's second-generation pickups, with its quad-headlamp face and wide, wraparound grille defining the look of the late-fifties work truck. Big-window cabs and the classic F-Series framing made it a favorite for restoration, and Bodie's example wears a striking turquoise finish.
