When new trucks roll off the assembly line at Ford, they are usually headed straight for a dealer's lot. There they sit among rows of trucks, each one much like the others. Now imagine what would happen if a few of those trucks got lost on their way to the dealer, and ended up at a hot rod shop. A few days and a few modifications later, you might end up with something like the Boyd Coddington Edition F-150, the envy of stock trucks everywhere.

Thanks to Advanced Truck you can own such an F-150, complete with styling cues taken from legendary hot rod builder, Boyd Coddington. Everything from the smooth exterior to the luxuriously styled interior are given the Boyd Coddington touch, a complete makeover to creates one of the best looking new trucks you can buy.

To get things started, the truck is lowered and leveled using Ground Force suspension equipment. The truck wears custom-designed Flare wheels by Boyd Coddington. These new 1-piece chrome wheels measure 22-inches in diameter, and are wrapped with low-profile Nitto performance tires.

Up front, the grill and bumper receive billet aluminum inserts from Carriage Works. The door handles are replaced by chrome billet pieces, and the Ford emblems are replaced by Boyd Coddington's signature engraved in a billet, and then bathed in chrome.

The exterior package features a set of low-profile Street Scene sport mirrors, and continues at the rear, where you will find smooth bed rail and tailgate caps painted to match. Nothing says hot rod better than a powerful rumble, and this truck emits some serious sounds thanks to the Magna Flow exhaust system. A pair of polished stainless steel tips exit on the passenger side, just in front of the rear axle.

Inside, the truck features custom leather seating by Classic Soft Trim. The combination of smooth black leather and light gray suede inserts is accented with red stitching, and the seats are embroidered with the Boyd Coddington signature. The instrument panel has been upgraded with a similar treatment, including brushed stainless steel gauge faces with red numerals and black trim from Nu-Image.

Each Boyd Coddington Edition truck is numbered and only a few hundred will be built. To find out how you can own one, contact Advanced Truck at 866-305-9100.
