Custom 1937 Show Truck Complete Resto Mod Everything is brand new 852 miles

CRAVE LUXURY AUTO 
.  

Incredible 1937 Ford custom pickup nicknamed “Grave Digger. ” With virtually 
every single component on this vehicle being hand-made. it’s the kind of truck 
that you could own for years and still not see every trick detail that went into 
the construction. It’s a slammed. flamed. and channeled custom that can draw crowds. When you set your sights on winning show trophies. you know that every single detail has to be right. and as a result. show-winning trucks like this 
one are so carefully assembled that they really are more than just cars. Every 
component is carefully selected after considering how it will look and function 
as part of the total package. Of course. that kind of workmanship isn’t cheap. nbsp;
and building a truck like this costs cubic dollars.


The body is a fiberglass piece from Wildrod. a radical dream truck that the 
original Ford designers never could have envisioned in the 1930s. It blends the 
nose and passenger compartment of a ’37 3-window coupe with a mythical (and 
functional) pickup truck bed. Of course. everything was laid-back. chopped. nbsp;
smoothed. and tweaked to get just the right look that’s both vintage and 
aggressive. with a killer stance. There are ten coats of mirror black lacquer on 
the body. which gives it that astounding miles deep look that only flawless 
black can deliver. Then they added five airbrushed murals. including the unique 
flame-inspired graphics on the hood panels that look almost 3-dimensional with 
subtle shadows and layers that you really need to see in person. The tailgate 
features a matching mural with some skulls and the truck’s name just for fun.  
And. of course. with that big fiberglass bed cover. you have the perfect canvas 
for a cityscape that reminds you of Las Vegas for the undead. When you pop the 
hood. you’ll find one more mural. a laughing skull on the underside that seems 
to be keeping guard over the small block underneath. When the murals were 
finished. they were all buried under another few coats of clear. Cost of all 
that paintwork? About the same as a new BMW. !! 

Up front. you’ll find a polished stainless steel grille that draws on the ’37 
Ford piece for inspiration. but is completely custom. The teardrop headlights 
are also very similar to the OEM Ford pieces and include built-in turn signal 
indicators to keep the nose smooth. They also perfectly compliment the cat’s eye 
taillights out back. Billet “peep” mirrors have been added for safety and all the glass is custom-cut for just this 
application. You’ll note that there are no exterior door handles interrupting 
the smooth flow of black lacquer. because those suicide doors are actuated by 
remote door poppers. for some vintage flair. the running boards have been 
retained. which actually enhance the truck’s long. low appearance.  

Grave Digger is no lightweight in the power department. The engine is a crate GM 
350 that has been fully dressed for show. but packs plenty of go just in case.  
Up top. you’ll notice a pair of 4-barrel carburetors. which help this potent 
small block crank out an estimated 450 horsepower—plenty in a lightweight 
vehicle like this one. The valve covers and air cleaner form a matching set. and 
anything in the engine compartment that wasn’t polished or chromed was painted 
in more of that jet black lacquer. MSD supplied the ignition system. while a Be 
Cool radiator and fan assembly keep it cool. even on the hottest days with the 
A/C cranking. Also notice the billet accessory drive setup. which includes power 
steering. all from March and all polished like chrome. A pair of shorty headers 
from Hooker take care of the exhaust. feeding a true dual exhaust system with 
Flowmaster mufflers and chrome tips at the rear.  

If you think the engine is impressive. wait until you see the chassis! Riding on 
a fully adjustable Air Ride setup. each corner is individually adjustable for 
that “in the weeds” look while you’re parked. but enough ground clearance to 
protect that beautiful black paint on the road. Up front. there are tubular 
A-arms (fully chromed. of course). while out back there’s a 4-link holding up a 
durable Ford 9-inch rear with 3. 70 gears and 31-spline axles. The frame itself 
is a custom-built unit that was painted to match the body and provides the 
perfect backdrop for all the polished bits and pieces. The transmission is a 
built 700R4 automatic overdrive unit that has been treated to its own fluid 
cooler for long-term durability.

Fortunately. the designers got it right on Grave Digger. asking Boyd Coddington to whittle up some custom hoops 
for this truck that are completely unique. Drawing inspiration from traditional 
Torq-Thrusts. they’re an updated version with a razor-sharp edge that gives a 
lot of definition to the spoke. The centers were powdercoated black to match the 
body. while the rims were polished to provide some contrast. And they didn’t go 
outrageously big on this car. either. which you’ll appreciate from behind the 
wheel: 18s up front and 20s out back. It’s enough to put a great rake on the 
car. but not so much that you feel like you’re driving around in a boxcar.  
Wheels are spectacular frames for the vented and cross-drilled Wilwood disc 
brakes. which feature blue powder coated calipers that match the graphics on the 
body.  
interior.

There is gray leather with super-cool snakeskin inserts that fit perfectly with the theme of 
the truck. The patterns mimic the murals on the hood panels. and despite the 
truck’s compact dimensions. it’s a very comfortable place to spend some time.  
The dashboard is full of Dolphin gauges. and there’s a full-feature 
entertainment system that also includes a rear-view camera. The billet vents for 
the Vintage Air climate control system are well integrated into the dramatically 
curved dashboard. while the billet steering column and wheel are from Flaming 
River. There’s more billet in the form of the pedals. shifter. ear View Mirror 
all from Lokar and the climate control knobs. Inside the center armrest. you’ll 
find the controls for the Air Ride suspension. power windows. and headlights.  
With Less than a 900 miles showing on the odometer. everything is in new 
condition. ready to be shown today.
