In the vast expanse of Johnson Valley, Larry Chen unveils a beastly creation - a street-legal 1973 Ford F100 Trophy Truck. This monstrous machine, with its fiberglass body and tube chassis, is a true marvel of engineering. Under the hood roars an LSX 454 crate motor, pumping out a staggering 562 horsepower, channeled through a Turbo 400 transmission with a crucial overdrive gear for street cruising. The truck's design is a blend of old and new, featuring original patina alongside modern touches like a wide cab and removable panels for easy maintenance.
Larry's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this truck, from the custom exhaust system to the triple trans coolers ensuring optimal performance. The 77-gallon fuel cell keeps the weight distribution in check, crucial for handling the 40-inch tires and 24 inches of front travel, 30 inches of rear travel. The original grill width adds to the truck's imposing presence, while the Gold Leaf logo and hand-painted accents showcase the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its creation. Larry's pride in this machine is palpable, a testament to the passion and dedication poured into every inch of its design.
As Larry takes this beast for a spin through Johnson Valley, pushing it to its limits, the truck's capabilities shine through. The seamless blend of power, performance, and visual appeal is a testament to the collaborative effort between Larry's team and builder Morgan Clark. From the roaring engine to the intricate design elements, every aspect of this truck exudes a sense of raw power and refined craftsmanship. Larry's admiration for the truck is infectious, a true reflection of the passion and dedication that went into creating this awe-inspiring machine.
