There’s something about a vintage Ford truck that refuses to fade — the lines, the stance, the unmistakable Americana baked into every weld and curve. But if you’ve ever driven one, you also know the quirks: the lack of power, the vague steering, the dash that rattles at idle. That’s where Fat Fender Garage steps in — not just restoring, but reimagining.
From their Arizona base, FFG has earned a loyal following for one reason: they don’t compromise. Whether you’re chasing a museum-worthy show truck or looking to piece together your own vision in a home garage, their approach is consistent — authentic, bold, and built to move.
The Gold Standard in Swaps
Nothing transforms a classic Ford quite like a f100 coyote swap. You get the raw nostalgia of a ’60s pickup with the punch of a modern 5.0L engine — torque on demand, reliability for miles, and no more worrying about cold starts in the driveway. Fat Fender doesn’t just sell parts for this conversion — they’ve refined the process. Their swap kits are engineered in-house, tested in the wild, and trusted by pros across the country.
It’s not just about dropping an engine in. It’s about creating a driving experience that feels natural — like the truck was always meant to run that way.
Interiors That Actually Feel Good to Sit In
Original interiors look great in photos, sure. But drive them for more than ten minutes and the illusion cracks. FFG’s range of classic truck interior parts offers a welcome solution — the same era-appropriate look, but with real comfort and craftsmanship behind it.
They design their components to fit without drama. Custom bench seats, billet dash knobs, digital gauge clusters — it’s all designed to bring modern function into your vintage cabin without ruining the vibe.
Resto-Mods with Character
A vintage ford restomod isn’t just a blend of old and new — done right, it’s a conversation between two eras. Fat Fender gets that. Their full custom builds (often topping half a million dollars) aren’t built for casual browsing — they’re forged for those who demand something singular.
But even their more accessible Revival Series trucks carry the same design DNA. You’re still getting modern drivability, still getting show-quality paint and custom touches — just with a faster delivery timeline and a more pragmatic price tag.
Not Just Builders — Storytellers
FFG also stands apart in how they share their work. With a YouTube channel that pulls back the curtain, and a steady stream of content on socials, they bring you into the process — the triumphs, the quirks, the real stuff most builders hide. You’re not just buying parts or admiring trucks. You’re joining a culture.
The Bottom Line
Whether you’re deep in a build or just daydreaming, Fat Fender Garage is a brand that hits different. It’s equal parts heritage and horsepower — where every bolt, every stitch, every burnout respects the past but lives in the now.
This isn’t retro for the sake of it. It’s rebirth — one truck at a time.
