Default Ironworks Unibody Ranch Truck. As Seen in Truckin Magazine

Ironworks was asked by Truckin Magazine to build a Follow up truck to the C6-57 project. After Del Mar this year I was trying to think of a unusual body style that would work. Well I found this truck on Craigslist on a pig ranch about 40 miles north of my shop for 350 bucks. It looks rough in the pic, But it is actually pretty cherry.

We plan to Build one of our laser cut square tube chassis's. It will have a 5" ride height with 20's and 22's. We are looking at either the Ford aluminator engine or 3 valve engine. Either way it will have a blower with an auto trans.
We are looking at some New Budnik wheels for the project with some BFG tires. Wilwood will be handling the stopping duties. We have a few minor body mods and she will be covered in Ford Grabber blue from the new 2010 Ford Mustangs.

Here is shot of the amazing Rendering From Carter Hickman. His wife said this was her Favorite, so we might be on to something. Plus a shot of here previous life as a scrap metal bin on a pig Farm in Ducor, California.





Thanks

The Rodger and his crew at Ironworks have some serious talent no doubt! Having had a tour there of recent I saw some of the amazing projects in the works first hand. The talent, thought and execution are second to none.

Keep up the killer work guys! The Ranch truck is going to be awesome & Carter did an amazing job on the rendering!
