But as is the case with many patina-designed custom trucks, it was all just a ruse. And what a treat, indeed, although it may not look like much at first sight. Thus, when Lunger traveled to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, to meet up with Luis (from Sevens Speed & Custom) and his client’s 1955 Ford F-100 we jumped at the chance of showcasing yet another cool, vintage F-Series treat. With so much else to do, from building Ford Thunder SVT tribute trucks to fiddling with “Gold Dust,” the host’s resident F-Series, we can understand there is little time left to roam the country in search of cool build projects. So, in between projects, Solomon Lunger - the affable and knowledgeable host of the Ford Era channel on YouTube - is back with another episode of the exceedingly rare “ What The Truck?” series. Well, the story is also important, not just the looks, right? Such is the case with this patina-riddled 1955 F-100 that looks great (in different shades of) blue, just like the bright sky, and does not feel sad about it just one tiny bit. Alas, they can only do so when given the proper chance at stardom.
