CREAM OF THE CROP

Tim Hulick's F-250 Rises to the Top

- Words by JOHN MATA JR.

JUST BECAUSE A TRUCK IS BUILT to work doesn't mean it can't double as a show rig too. Most vehicles designed to spend all day in the trenches aren't usually treated with the respect they deserve, but Tim Hulick was looking to change that. He planned to build a truck that he could thoroughly enjoy while knocking out the workweek. Tim is a remodeling contractor and carpenter, which means that he puts in long hours and expects a lot from the tools of his trade—especially his pickup. When the time came to pick a truck to build into an enjoyable workhorse, a 1976 Ford F-250 Camper Special was at the top of his list.

Tim is a member of the Bronco Club of America and Classic Bronco, as well as a devout follower of various truck Facebook pages. He pays close attention to the movers and shakers within the custom classic truck community, and that gave him the confidence to choose the exact builders and fabricators he wished to help with his F-250 project. "I have always admired Kincer Chassis' products," Tim admits. "Having the Kincer crew take the wheel of my Ford build was the easiest and most exciting decision I made during the process."
