Doug Gonzales and his team at Lucky 7 Speed Shop in Northern California built the amazing 1969 Ford F-100 you see here.
They started with a custom chassis from Scott’s Hotrods ‘n Customs outfitted with JRi coil-over shocks, rack-and-pinion steering, sway bars, a Moser 9-inch rearend, and Wilwood 14-inch disc brakes. The chassis rolls on 18×10- and 18×12-inch U.S. Mags wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich g-Force Rival tires – 275/35s in the front and 315/30s in the rear.
Power comes from a 425 horsepower Roush Performance 5.0-liter SR Coyote crate engine that sends power to a Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission.
Once the body was smoothed out, and the custom sheet metal work done in the engine compartment and bed, the whole thing was painted PPG Toner Red by Tim Nickel at Bodylines by Nickel.
The interior received a custom transmission tunnel, Flaming River tilt steering column, Vintage Air system, and custom pedals. A custom gauge cluster from Dakota Digital was used in the dash, and Dynamat sound deadener was used to help quiet the ride. New wiring came from Painless Performance, new seats and a dash pad from TMI, and concert-quality tunes from Kicker.
The truck was build to be a grand prize giveaway at the 2019 Goodguys PPG Nationals in Columbus Ohio, and has been given the name “Goodguys GRT-100”.

About The Author
Growing up, my father always believed that every family needed a truck—there’s just something about having a vehicle capable of hauling anything at a moment’s notice. That philosophy stuck with me, and it’s been the foundation of my lifelong passion for Ford trucks.
While I’m best known for my work with Ford Rangers, I’ve owned a wide variety of Ford trucks over the years—including F-150s, F-250s, F-350s, and even larger rigs like the Ford Excursion, Ford Expedition, and a 1982 Ford Econoline Sportsmobile camper van. I’ve used these vehicles for everything from family transportation to towing car trailers and campers, and each one has fueled my love for Ford’s versatility and durability.
I especially enjoy the styling of 1970s and 1980s Ford trucks—the bold designs, rugged presence, and classic charm are timeless. Sharing my passion for Ford trucks, vans, and SUVs with other enthusiasts online brings me a great deal of joy, and it’s why I created Blue Oval Trucks.
This website is dedicated to helping Ford truck enthusiasts explore, learn about, and celebrate these incredible vehicles. While I share my expertise and experiences here, Blue Oval Trucks is an independent enthusiast site and is not affiliated with Ford Motor Company.
