“Fred’s Dream”
Every great truck tells a story - and this one carries a legacy.
This 1954 Ford F100, fittingly named “Fred’s Dream”, was originally Fred’s pride and joy. To honor his memory this truck was brought back to life. What started as a heartfelt tribute evolved into a stunning restomod that perfectly balances nostalgia and performance.
Built on a Schwanke Engines Running Rolling Chassis and equipped with Mustang II IFS, this truck drives like a modern street machine while preserving its timeless Ford character. Under the hood, a 5.7L Stage II Street Performance Engine delivers 425 horsepower, paired to a 4L60E transmission with a 2200 street stall torque converter - a setup that gives “Fred’s Dream” both power and poise on the open road.
