Shorty

Shorty

     We'd bet this is the shortest F600 you've ever seen. Period. Sporting a shorter than normal bed, four doors, and a 6.8 liter V10, Shorty packs quite a punch for it's size. 

Shorty is based on a 2016 Ford E350 chassis, that's been shortened slightly and reworked to accept the 1975 F600 Crew Cab and a unique bed. She retains an original 70's style interior, save for the new cluster and steering column. The bed was made to a similar length to todays 5.5 short-beds, but was designed with our custom rear fenders to accommodate the giant track width. Ford managed to produce 305 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque from the venerable 6.8, and we took that a step further with a set of long tube headers, a 3/3.5 inch exhaust with a cutout, intake, and some hotter tuning. This made this small brute of a pickup behave like a sport truck and pull like a diesel when hooked to a trailer, and continues to do both to this day!

    Simple, reliable, and instantly a classic, Shorty  can be found working anywhere, from laying rubber at the pits, running laps in autocross, to towing campers and getting groceries all over northern Wyoming!
