This is my 1988 F351 Stroker Edition. Well actually, it started as an '88 F150 Custom 302, 5 speed. I bought it back in '91 and immeadiately tore into it. It went through major body and frame modifications and was finally road ready in '95. During the 4 years, it received a carbed 351 and FMX tranny from an '80 Grand Marquis. Since '95, it has continued to get updated. It started with a mild rebuild on the engine, interior changes, '91 T-Bird IRS, Air Ride suspension, Lentech AOD tranny, Torino Shaker hood scoop, Torque Thrust II wheels and last year, a 351/408 stroker engine, dynoed at 330rwhp and 400rwtq.

This is the driving height. The ones posted above are at full drop. It can still be driven at that height, but sitting on the bumpstop makes for a rough ride.

[MRGADGET]

You rock buddy,Sweet Ryde.First picture I thought was a Remote Controlled Toy.Well Done.

[98nascartruck]

I have seen his truck alot and you need to see inperson to what he has done to his truck!!! I think I should email him about checking out this site again, I know he has been very busy with work!!! Any of you in the Hamilton/Burlington area need to come out the Mapleview Mall cruise night on Wed. night when it starts up again in May.....I THINK!!!! If the weather is nice Shawn is there with his truck!!!

[2insane]

Wicked ride, Very nice detailing on frame Would love to see that in person

[Dazed]

sweet ride, i really appreciate the time and effort put into your hands for this truck. I wish I could do stuff like that!!! unfortunately all my hands are good for is diagnosing oil refinery equipment with problems, which equals higher gas prices for us. DOH!

[LaredoRV]

Wow.... That... is... Speech less... Wow...

[taisa899]

just thought I'd bring this one back to the top for those members who haven't seen his truck

[Lilbigtrk]

ver nice truck you have put a lot of time and money in to her shes is gorgeous.

[98nascartruck]

Jim....actually Shawn is making some big changes to his truck and mainly to the front end of the truck. What he is doing is putting on a 1995 F-150 front end on his truck and what I have seen his truck will look AWESOME!!!!

[taisa899]

the man does love to modify!

[98nascartruck]

the man does love to modify!


Yes he does and this is his biggest change since I have know him, his last one was when he put on that shaker hood a few years ago.

[taisa899]

I haven't talked to him in a couple years. Is he still a leader over at FTW?

[98nascartruck]

YEAH....there are only a few members that posts every once in awhile!!!!

[Slim188]

I have to admit the first picture in the bunch i could of sworn was a model...thats one sweet ride.

[LayinHp]

the most impressive thing is he did the work in a 1 car garage....... ive never seen the garage but have herd its a tight fit lol


ive also seen this truck a few times in person and it looks killer

[98nascartruck]

I am with you Todd about where he works on his truck and I have been to his house. He does have a big 1 car garage,BUT he has his tools and work bench and it makes his garage looks small!!!

[98nascartruck]

Like I said in a previous post(#22) that Shawn is the process of a major project on his truck!!! I thought I would post the link from another site on the his project, so everyone can check it out themselves!!
