Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sema+2014/), Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150/) and Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang/). While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).

Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Blue Oval racers, with both Formula Drift driver (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/19/ford-f150-drift-truck-sema-vaughn-gittin-jr-official/)Vaughn Gittin, Jr. (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/vaugh+gittin+jr/) and Global Rallycross Championship driver Brian Deegan (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/10/19/ford-f150-drift-truck-sema-vaughn-gittin-jr-official/) lending their unique tastes to the F-Series.

In Gittin, Jr.'s case, his history as a drifter has inspired the design of the F-150 shown above (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2015-ford-f-150-customs-sema-2014/#photo-3077376). Riding on a suspension with components from Kibbetech King and Air Lift, this F-150 enjoys 12 inches of travel while its five passengers are kept in place by Recaro seats in the cabin. Aside from those mechanical changes, eye-catching details include the lime-green wheels, which contrast quite nicely with the silver paint. Gitten said he wanted a truck with "on- and off-road capabilities, as well as drifting and jumping capabilities," and overall, this is a pretty handsome job.

If Gittin's F-150 is somewhat restrained, the F-150 Deegan 38 (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2015-ford-f-150-customs-sema-2014/#photo-3077390) is a far more outgoing, thanks not only to its wild paint job, but to its more comprehensive set of mechanical upgrades that make it arguably a larger showcase. Its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 now produces over 600 horsepower thanks to upgrades from BorgWarner, Full-Race Motorsports and ProEFI. The suspension bits and pieces come from Fox Racing, while Mickey Thompson has provided the monstrous, 37-inch tires.

Next up, we have the widebody TSDesigns F-150 (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2015-ford-f-150-customs-sema-2014/#photo-3077382). The custom, all-metal build was designed by Octavio "Topo" Villafana and team, who also did the work on the Ford Mustang that starred in last summer's Need For Speed (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/need+for+speed/) movie. On top of the aesthetic changes, a Vortech supercharger, Gibson exhaust, Belltech lowering kit and Forgiato 24-inch wheels have been fitted the gray, black and yellow F-Series.Continue reading Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/2014/11/05/2015-ford-f150-customs-sema-2014/)
