This was a great candidate to start with as it already had restored paint, trim, and glass. The process began by removing the body from the frame, and then modifying the chassis to take the modern suspension, braking, and drivetrain components. The chassis was then sent off to be media blasted and coated in preparation for final assembly which was completed in 2022. Since completion, the truck has traveled just 2,300 miles!Under the hood is a 5.0L V8 paired with an overdrive automatic transmission, providing modern performance and highway-friendly cruising. The engine is kept cool with a high volume water pump and an Aluminium Radiator with an Electric fan. The chassis was upgraded with Independent Front Suspension which features tubular upper control arms, new bushing, ball joints, shocks, coil springs, rack-and-pinion power steering, and out back we now have a Ford 8.8 rear end with a 4-link suspension and QA1 adjustable Coilovers. Now equipped with four-wheel power disc brakes. The fuel tank was relocated beneath the bed floor, creating more room in the cabin while also improving the overall usability of the truck. Inside, the original-style character has been complemented with modern comforts, including Vintage Air conditioning, a RetroSound radio, new gauges, all new wiring, and fresh upholstery.Build Highlights:302c.i.

With a deep passion for all things automotive, LaFontaine Classic Cars celebrates the storied automotive heritage of the Motor City and looks to make the classic car of your dreams a reality.
Founded by Michael LaFontaine Sr. and his two grandsons, Zackary and Mackenzie Hinsperger, LaFontaine Classic Cars offers guests an unmatched offering of iconic classic vehicles – from weekend cruisers to Concours quality show vehicles.
Just prior to the passing of the matriarch of LaFontaine Automotive Group, Maureen LaFontaine, the building in downtown Milford became available and it was the ideal location to launch LaFontaine Classic Cars. The attention to detail and automotive nostalgia throughout is a tribute to Maureen and her everlasting legacy.
The showroom aims to bring buyers back in time to a more classic feel. In addition to all the vehicles in the showroom, the space is decorated with vintage signs from vehicle brands of the past. Not only are there vehicles in the building, but the parking lot to the south contains many others available for purchase.
Michael Sr. commented, “This area is prefect for us as we have a lot of roots in Milford and absolutely love this quaint downtown. We look forward to welcoming fellow automotive enthusiasts through our showroom doors and they can expect to receive the same Family Deal feeling people have come to expect at any of our other dealerships. It’s all about personalizing the experience and having fun at the same time.”
LaFontaine Classic Cars acquires vehicles several ways, with a majority of them coming through auction and Michael Sr.’s personal collection.
The shop is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. More information, including an online listing of vehicles, can be found at lafontaineclassiccars.com.
