Mills could not leave well enough alone, so he contacted Stang-Hi Performance in Gonzales, Louisiana, to put a tune on the 5.0 and squeeze a little more power out of it. Analyzing all the options, Steve chose none other than a 2016 Ford Racing 5.0 Coyote crate engine with the bulletproof 6R80 automatic transmission.

Now that the foundation was set, Steve needed to decide on what powertrain he was going to install in the ’60. Finally, the chassis was tastefully powder-coated satin black to blend in seamlessly with the patina of the truck. Stopping the F-100 are 14-inch rotors with Wilwood 6-piston calipers on all four corners, and a manual Wilwood master cylinder setup applying the pressure. Of course, the REVO Spec chassis came with all the goodies, including tubular upper and lower control arms, four-bar rear suspension, coilovers, and a Ford 9-inch housing with 31-spline axles and a nodular center section with 3.70 gears and Trutrac to keep both tires spinning at the same time. Get me one, too!” At that point, the foundation for the project was on order and would arrive at KC’s in no time. Steve basically replied, “That’s a no-brainer. One day, Steve and KC were talking about the build and KC mentioned he was about to order a few Roadster Shop chassis for some builds he had in the shop. KC may not be a military veteran, but he is well-known in the classic car and truck scene as one of the shops to go to. This is where he chose another veteran, KC at KC’s Paint Shop in Burleson, Texas, to foster the build.

Once Steve returned home with the ’60, it was time to put a plan together for the build.
