Pensacola, Fla. (Aug. 6, 2025) – Velocity, an industry leader in classic vehicle modernization, has just announced new additions to its lineup of modernized classic F-series trucks. Known for their concaved body lines, the all-new 1973-79 “Dentside” Ford pickups are fully reimagined by the Velocity team with redesigned interiors and powertrains to operate as turnkey drivers. Key features across all models include a Coyote V8 engine mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, all mounted to a Roadster Shop chassis, along with modern luxuries like a Vintage Air climate-control system and a Bluetooth stereo. Velocity also offers a variety of paint and trim options, as well as other optional upgrades for customers to choose from.
The new lineup of Dentside trucks is powered by a Ford Performance Gen III 5.0L Coyote V8, making 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque paired with a Ford 10R80 automatic transmission. Velocity’s proprietary serpentine system keeps things moving under the hood, and a custom-built exhaust with MagnaFlow mufflers gives each truck a distinct rumble. Everything sits on a Velocity-exclusive Roadster Shop spec chassis, providing a comfortable ride. The street-focused Dentside F-100 gets independent front suspension and a Ford 9-inch rear axle, while the more rugged four-wheel-drive F-150 and F-250 trucks come equipped with solid Dana 44 front and Dana 60 rear axles. All 4×4 models receive four-wheel disc brakes courtesy of Wilwood, while the F-100 features Baer brakes.
The exterior is where Velocity sets these trucks apart from their predecessors. The Dentside body style replaced the “Bumpside” generation with recessed side panels and sharper angles that reflect the styling shift of the late 1970s. The bodywork on the 1973-79 generation of Velocity F-series trucks reflects this iconic style, providing a unique grille and side panels compared to the previously available 1967-72 Bumpside trucks. The Dentside Fords feature a chrome grille with Ford lettering and new LED headlights to light up the night. The signature concaved bodylines of the Dentside are accentuated by racetrack trim and optional two-toned paint, while chrome bumpers and all-new glass and weather seals make the truck feel brand new. Retractable running boards from AMP Research provide easy access to the cabin on the F-150 and F-250 models.
Velocity’s signature interior begins with a custom bench seat, a Velocity-exclusive Dakota Digital gauge cluster, power windows and a carpeted interior across all models. Sound in the cabin comes through a Bluetooth-enabled head unit that routes tunes through a Focal sound system. Vintage Air provides modern climate control, and a classic wood steering wheel attached to an Ididit tilt column completes the interior…
