Jocko Mccants’ ’10 Ford F-450 Has an Unoffered Factory Option: Cummins Power
TRUCK BUILDS are often the direct reflection of an owner’s personal taste in performance and appearance modifications. A rig’s look, fit and finish, styling, and power all derive from the preferences of the guy or girl who owns it. In the case of Jocko McCants and his ’10 Ford F-450, this means it’s a truck that is built right and delivers on the commitments he makes with the shops that work on it. Jocko is also a shop owner, operating a garage in Issaquah, Washington, that specializes in the repair of German cars.
Because he is in the business and knows the standards he maintains at his own workplace, Jocko expects top quality from the people he works with on vehicle upgrades. “I have been working on cars since I was 14 years old,” Jocko tells us. “I got a ’79 Ford Pinto that needed an engine. I mowed lawns and did whatever I needed to do in order to get the engine, and when I got it, I installed it.” Working with a wooden A-frame and a come-along, he got the job done before he was legally able to drive the car, which, as you can imagine, did not stop him from getting behind the wheel.

Getting (Un)Stuck
IN THE FIRST installment of this series, I explained how I, along with my wife and two dogs, took Vincent Van Go, my new-tome ’03 Ford E-350 with the venerable 7.3L powerplant, on his first adventure—and wound up at a secluded campsite (aptly named Camp Nada Lotta) in the Southern California desert.

Torque: Rotary Diesel No Pistons Needed
