Resto-modeling of a 1970 Ford F-100 automobile.
The iconic Reformer series adds modern upgrades to vintage cars while maintaining the classic styling. The latest Reformer vehicle is a 1970 Ford F-100.
Underneath the Nixon-era exterior is a modern Ford 5.0-liter V-8 engine tuned to produce 426 horsepower and bolted to a Ford AOD automatic transmission. A Borla exhaust system has also been added to ensure the sound of the V-8. The four-wheel-drive truck is equipped with twin-stick Advance Adapters Atlas II transfer cases and Dana axles front and rear, and is ready to go.
The F-100 got a new frame and upgraded suspension during the restomod process, with Eibach springs and Fox Racing shocks. Based on the suspension setup used on the iconic Bronco restomod, the F-100 has radius arms in the front and a four-link in the rear.
Six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo brakes probably do a better job of stopping this truck than the original binders. These brakes are hidden behind 18-inch forged aluminum wheels made to resemble the steel ones of the period.
The seats are leather (with fabric inserts) but made to resemble original vinyl. Likewise, the instrument cluster appears to be stock, but is actually a new Dakota Digital unit; the AM radio now controls a Bluetooth audio system.
You may not be familiar with the icon, but this kind of construction, hiding modern features behind classic styling, is the company's specialty. While the Bronco and Toyota Land Cruiser are its main products, Icon doesn't only work on off-roaders; it also builds six-figure Chevrolet Caprice police cars and a 1949 Mercury with a Tesla powertrain.
