LUCKY7

Darren Parsons' Far-Out Ford F-100 Prerunner

- JOHN MATA

Back when Darren Parsons first unveiled this truck, it gave off a menacing vibe somewhere in between the cold, calculated nature of Darth Vader with the predatory pounce of the Batmobile. As dark and chilling as it sounds, these two descriptions may still not even totally peg down how demented Darren Parson's 1975 Ford F-100 was. Obviously, it still is—don't get it twisted. It has recently received a facelift and other upgrades that have since increased its appeal. For those questioning the origins of this Ford, let's clear the air—yes, this is the old RPM / RoadHazard truck. It changed aliases as it changed hands, but since Darren purchased this rig, it now responds to the name Lucky7—and it has a whole new persona to go along with it.

Surely, you've seen Darren's old '90s Ford Ranger dubbed #1447 that underwent numerous build phases with the latest arising from a gnarly multiple-flip crash that ended up in flames. Darren builds and drives his trucks to withstand heavy abuse, and even though his Ranger was designed for the most lethal of beatdowns, Lucky7 has been revamped to take on even more punishment if you can imagine that. Oh, and did we mention that this thing still has a fully functional AC and heat system too?
