An Orange ford F100 owned by Thomas Cronemark a pro truck Driver from Sweden, he is in charge of the Paddock on any Wednesday evening during the race season. He is a local member too of drag racers club called SRIF.
His interest in smaller trucks started when an employee at his dad's trucking company pulled in with a '72 El Camino and parked right in front of a then 17-year-old Thomas. Through another member he heard about a 1950s Ford pickup that had been parked in a garage for a few years. the 50's ford F100 that had been imported from US in 1996 and had a new interior and beautifull paint job by Harley Davidson in Sweden.
but he's not Satisfied with the power and handling, Thomas decided to fix a few cracks on the chassis,replaced all four fenders, made the headers, 2-inch exhaust, and install a Heidts Mustang II frontend with the help of his friend Joakim Ljungberg, the owner of Vallkra Motorsport
With Erland Cox the Sweden's leading expert, of course one of his buddies in SRIF club, he change the engine block and built more .potent powerplant based on ford 427 after the the valve gave up and busted a head.
And for the bodywork He just settled for a new grille, shiny bumpers, and painted mirrors, plus aftermarket brake lights and for the weels he decided to put a set of 17 - inch Bullitt Mustang
and check out the result
