BLUE BLOODED
headlights; the lamps were upgraded using Diode Dynamics LEDS, which make the white running lights and turn signals much brighter than they were from the factory. DK Moulds fashioned the clear corner markers. Various off-road accent lighting arrays were sourced from Firewire, powdercoated by Premier Powdercoat in Rexburg, and ported into the bumpers front and rear as well as up top on the roof rack.
In case you don’t see the Powertech F-350 coming, Horn Blasters lent an all-black air horn kit and compressor setup to give audible cues to clueless onlookers. Willsey has described it as “crazy loud” and we have no reason to doubt that assessment. The Powertech crew turned to Switch Pros to provide a means for wiring up all of the added accessories. “Made life a lot easier,” Willsey says. “They have a killer product.” Finally, Rock Slide Engineering running boards facilitate ingress and egress to and from the raised cabin. An Andersen Engineering tow hitch—coated blue like the various other chassis components—was secured to the hitch receiver out back.
“Out of all my SEMA builds this one is my favorite so far,” Willsey says. “It gets a lot of attention and local law enforcement loves it.” Though he’s quick to point out that the act of driving this rig isn’t a get out of jail free card, so he remains on his best behavior when he and the truck are out and about.
Future plans are already in progress; though it has not been photographed as yet, an H&S Motorsports 69 SX-E and supporting hardware has found its way into the F-350’s engine bay. Willsey reports that as of this writing the new induction setup has been tuned and augmented with a Jamo exhaust and shift on-the-fly. We can’t wait to see what else he brings to the show this fall.
