Painted Jewel

It’s a beautifully restored 1948 Ford F-100 that’s been blown and fuel injected. It not only has the chops in the horsepower department but also in style. At the 2009 Street Rod Nationals in Louisville, KY it was 1 of 3 selected out of a field of 12,000 by PPG for Outstanding Use of Color and crowned “Painted Jewel”. Owners Paul & Carol Gerritsen started with a sad black truck that Paul had bought online. After 4 years of hard work it was an award winner. The frame has been fully boxed and kicked. The top has been chopped 4”. It has suicide doors and a leather interior with matching rear bed with leather and carpet. The power comes from a Ford 460 with a BDS Blower that makes 542 horsepower. It sits on Schott Wheels and Mickey T rubber. The color is PPG Khaki over Kiwi with Pearl. It’s on Powerblock September 4 & 5.
