Up next FULL BUILD: 1966 C-10 Long Bed Barn Find to Short Bed Beauty Published on January 13, 2022 Author Adam Johnson Share article Facebook 0 Twitter 0 Mail 0 FIRST LOOK – 1972 Ford F-100 Custom Pickup “El Diablo” – BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE 2022 Lot 1322 – This custom 1972 Ford F-100 named “El Diablo” is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote engine topped with a @Whipple Superchargers and mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The beautifully painted high-gloss red exterior includes many body modifications, such as the front clip narrowed 2 inches to line up perfectly with the hood, the bed widened in front 1 inch to line up with the cab, custom-fabricated heat extractors in the hood and engine compartment, auto-lift bed center, tucked front and rear bumpers, shaved marker lights, welded body seams, custom tailgate with pulled-out center panel and lettering for a modern flair, flush-mount glass and hand-fabricated satin aluminum side trim. Upgraded with @Wilwood Disc Brakes, custom El Diablo machined calipers, and Intro wheels wrapped with @Pirelli tires. The chassis and frame were hand-fabricated and finished in satin red with silver for detail and incorporate Currie 9-inch rear end mounted to a 4-link rear suspension, 4-wheel Airlift custom air ride with remote mounted compressors and console-mounted controller, and Heidts front suspension components. The red leather interior was handcrafted by Recovery Room Upholstery using the finest materials, creating a stunning yet comfortable appearance. The seat was created using bucket seat lowers and a bench rear section. The console is built into the center of the bucket lower section and slides over the front of the console section, creating a seamless effect when adjusting the seat. The console cradles the controls for the @Vintage Air inc air conditioning and heater, transmission floor shifter and custom billet trim. The tilt steering column holds a custom leather-wrapped billet steering wheel. The fully custom dash was smoothed for visual cleanliness and includes custom trim and a frenched-in early ’50-style gauge cluster. Finally, the door interior panels were created using Mustang-themed components, including door release levers. El Diablo is very well-known and was chosen for the Truck of the Year award at Goodguys car show in 2021, Barret-Jackson Cup Top 5 in 2021, Lone Star Throw Down winner, three magazine covers (along with articles in at least five) and has been deemed “Best Bump Side Ford truck ever built.” See more about Lot 1322; 1972 Ford F-100 Custom Pickup Subscribe to our weekly newsletter “El Diablo”: https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Event… Get Tickets for Scottsdale 2022: http://bit.ly/SD22-DailyTickets Consign Today: https://consign.barrett-jackson.com/ ———- #BARRETTJACKSON #F100 #ELDIABLO Barrett-Jackson: https://www.barrett-jackson.com Buy Official Barrett-Jackson Merchandise: https://shopbarrettjackson.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL!
