Jas and Jesse bought their 1969 Ford in 2025 looking for a classic with character, durability and room to make it their own.
The story
The first drive after bringing it home is the memory their submission returns to. Its quirks, engine sound and feel on the road made the truck seem like something worth keeping alive.
It has since become a creative outlet, a truck for photo shoots and a place to make family memories. Their approach is to add useful changes while respecting the original design.
The truck
Work so far includes electronic fuel injection, Pendleton interior details and a larger fuel tank for drivability.
What comes next
The goal is a reliable daily driver that keeps its vintage feel, ready for road trips and eventually another generation. It is a build they can keep using while it comes together.
