My Big Phat Green Truck!

May 11th, 2009 | Category: Courtney, News, Projects, Trucks, ford


No this isn’t a sequel to the wedding movie, but check out this drop dead gorgeous ’56 Ford Phatty! Owner Harold Robinson enlisted Michael Neighbors of Michael’s Ride Shop in Franklinville, NC for the restoration. It’s got a Fat Man frame that was shortened and boxed. The cab and hood were pancaked. All the fenders were altered to handle the air bag system. The color is Honda Galapagos Green on top and GM Olive Silver below. It’s got a matching engine bay that you could eat off of with a 454 GM big block. The interior has matching leather low back bucket seats and the rear bed is made out of South African Lace wood. Check it out for yourself on The PowerBlock May 16th & 17th!
