Jamie’s F100 isn’t just another restored classic, it’s a full-blown custom creation that’s been turned inside out, rebuilt, and fine-tuned into something truly special. What started as a rusted-out junk heap is now a sleek, low-riding showpiece, thanks to countless hours in the garage, and a lot of sweat.
Jamie stumbled across this ’63 Ford on eBay, but in its original state, it was far from roadworthy. It had seen better days, rusted, beat-up, and practically forgotten. But where others might have seen scrap, Jamie saw potential. He took on the challenge, pouring in time, effort, and passion to bring it back to life.
Pop the hood, and you’ll find a surprise, this F100 isn’t running a Ford engine. Instead, Jamie swapped in an injected 5.0-litre Holden V8, complemented by 2 ½-inch cat-back HSV extractors. The setup delivers solid grunt and a deep exhaust note, but Jamie’s got bigger plans. A supercharger is in the works, promising even more power and performance once it’s fitted.
Sitting on a Holden Rodeo chassis, this truck boasts a full airbag suspension system that allows it to drop right down onto its sills. When aired out, it tucks a set of 22-inch Zinik wheels neatly under the guards, giving it an aggressive stance that commands attention. The combination of classic curves and modern modifications make it a head-turner in any setting.
One of the most striking elements of this build is its ultra-clean body. Jamie has shaved off all unnecessary features, no door handles, no bulky trims, and a seamlessly welded tailgate for a smooth finish. The entire truck is coated in Toyota 1D4 Silver. The color complements the truck’s sleek, modernized aesthetic while still respecting its vintage roots. The tail lights? He went for Cadillac-style units that blend effortlessly into the design, adding a touch of class.
Inside, the “bench seat” isn’t actually a traditional bench, it’s a clever customization featuring Holden Commodore VR Berlina seats, reshaped and trimmed in rich red leather. The result is a setup that looks period-correct while delivering modern comfort and style. The attention to detail extends throughout the cabin, making it a space that feels both nostalgic and uniquely refined.
More than just a truck, this F100 is a rolling testament to ingenuity, patience, and a refusal to follow the rulebook. The fusion of Ford heritage with Aussie modifications makes this pickup a true one-of-a-kind build. It’s got presence, power, and personality, all wrapped up in a package that blends old-school charm with cutting-edge craftsmanship.
