Custom 2021 ASPT Ford Truck Melds Patina Style with Modern Power

Professionally restored Ford custom truck rides on a Ford LTD chassis with 302 V8, AOD transmission, and new A/C system.


A standout blend of vintage style and modern mechanicals, a 2021 ASPT Ford Custom Truck is now turning heads in the Motorious inventory. This professionally restored, custom-built pickup delivers a weathered patina aesthetic layered under heavy clear coat, backed by a thoroughly upgraded drivetrain and interior.

While it carries a 2021 ASPT (Assembled from Parts) title branded as “Reconstructed” with a “Not Actual” mileage designation per NMVTIS records, the truck is far from ordinary. Its foundation is a 1985 Ford LTD chassis, chosen for its smooth ride and adaptable architecture. Power comes from a 302-cubic inch Ford V8 upgraded with an Edelbrock top-end kit, 600 CFM carburetor, and aluminum heads mated to Comp Cams High Energy roller rocker arms and headers. A B&M shift kit enhances the Ford AOD automatic transmission, and power is sent to the pavement via an 8.8-inch limited-slip rear differential with 3.27 gears—balancing streetability and responsiveness.

Cooling is handled by a 3-core aluminum radiator paired with dual 13-inch electric fans and a custom stainless shroud. Supporting systems include a Rhodes 17-gallon fuel cell with Russell filter, a high-torque Powermaster starter, underdrive pulleys, and an Optima battery secured with ARP stainless hardware.

Braking duties are managed by a stock disc/drum setup improved with a Wilwood master cylinder. The truck also benefits from power steering, a modern 22-circuit Speedway wiring harness, and heavy-duty BF Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 tires wrapped around staggered 20-inch wheels—20x8.5 inches up front and 20x10 inches in the rear.

Inside, the cab has been fitted with TMI custom bucket seats and a matching center console, a RetroSound stereo with amp and subwoofer, and a newly added air conditioning system, making it as comfortable as it is cool.

This custom Ford delivers timeless looks with a completely reengineered heart—an ideal build for cruising or showing with attitude.
