Few trucks embody American grit and timeless style quite like Ford’s 1973–1979 “Dentside” pickups. With their recessed body lines and squared-off stance, they defined an era of blue-collar toughness. Now, Velocity—one of the premier names in restomod craftsmanship—is resurrecting these icons with a blend of classic looks and modern muscle. And while every model is a showstopper, the four-wheel-drive F-150 and F-250 take center stage as the ultimate fusion of rugged utility and refined performance.

Power Under the Hood: The Coyote Heartbeat

At the core of every Velocity-built Dentside beats Ford’s Gen III 5.0-liter Coyote V8 that churns out 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Paired with Ford’s 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain delivers smooth shifts and the confidence to conquer highways, trails, or job sites with equal ease. A proprietary serpentine system ensures reliability, while a custom-built exhaust capped with MagnaFlow mufflers gives these trucks a throaty, modern rumble that announces their presence long before they come into view.

Built for Adventure: Rugged Chassis and 4×4 Hardware

Where the F-150 and F-250 models truly shine is in their off-road capability. Unlike the street-focused F-100, these four-wheel-drive brutes are anchored by a Velocity-exclusive Roadster Shop chassis fitted with time-tested solid axles—Dana 44 up front and a beefy Dana 60 out back.

Stopping power comes courtesy of Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, giving drivers precise confidence whether they’re descending a rocky grade or navigating city streets. Retractable AMP Research running boards provide functional ease of access without compromising ground clearance or aesthetics—a thoughtful touch for trucks meant to be driven anywhere.

Iconic Dentside Looks, Modern Refinement

Velocity has painstakingly preserved the Dentside’s iconic styling, from its concaved body lines to its bold chrome grille adorned with Ford lettering. LED headlights ensure modern nighttime visibility, while optional two-tone paint schemes and racetrack trim highlight the sculpted side panels that made these trucks legendary. Chrome bumpers, all-new glass, and fresh weather seals complete the “factory-new” illusion—though no original Dentside ever looked or performed this good.

Interiors with Comfort and Craftsmanship

Inside, the F-150 and F-250 deliver the kind of refinement no one in the 1970s could have imagined. Custom bench seating, a Velocity-exclusive Dakota Digital gauge cluster, and premium audio from Focal transform the cab into a comfortable retreat. Vintage Air climate control keeps things cool, while billet-machined interior components and a leather-wrapped Sparc Industries steering wheel add a bespoke touch. In Heritage Series models, upgrades like an Alpine double-din head unit, backup camera, and premium stitched leather elevate the experience even further.

Heritage Series: The Pinnacle of the Lineup

For those seeking the ultimate build, Velocity’s Heritage Series for the F-150 and F-250 adds a suite of premium upgrades. Two-tone BASF Glasurit paint, billet-machined trim, and a color-matched Raptor Liner bed treatment make the trucks as stylish as they are durable. Inside, every surface is treated to upscale detailing, transforming these workhorse legends into modern luxury rides.

A Piece Of Dentside History, Reimagined

Starting at $279,900, Velocity’s Dentside Fords aren’t for the casual enthusiast. They’re turnkey masterpieces built in-house to a guaranteed timeline, aimed at collectors and drivers who demand both authenticity and performance. With the F-150 and F-250 leading the charge, Velocity has ensured that the Dentside legacy doesn’t just live on—it thrives with more power, capability, and style than ever before.
