Our Story
A family. A garage. Two trucks being brought back from the dead.
Built in the Garage, Driven by Passion
Truck Revival started the way most good things do — in a garage, with a problem that needed solving. After years of building and restoring classic vehicles, the focus shifted to one of America's most iconic and overlooked trucks: the 1967–1972 Ford F-Series Bumpside.
These trucks were workhorses. Built to last. And somewhere along the way, too many of them ended up forgotten in fields, barns, and junkyards — left for dead. Truck Revival exists to change that.
But more than the trucks, this business was built for the boys. A father and his two sons, learning the craft together, evenings and weekends, in a well-equipped home garage. The trucks are the curriculum. The garage is the classroom. The business is the lesson.
Meet the Team
Three generations of gearheads. One garage. One mission.
Darkharts
Head Goon, right side broken brain thinker and evolving hoodlum — shop cleaner, and trash taker outer. After years of never finishing the Olds of Doom, Darkharts then shifted focus to the 1967–1972 Ford F-Series that Tank decided was cool. He started Truck Revival to build something real with his sons, and to prove that forgotten trucks deserve a second life.
Lucky D
The eldest son and right-hand man in the garage. Lucky D brings a sharp eye for detail and a steady hand on the tools. His yellow stepside is proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Tank
The youngest member of the crew and the heart of the whole operation. Tank's black F-250 is the truck that kicked off Truck Revival — and the reason the whole family got into the garage together. He's 12 years old and already knows more about these trucks than most adults.
Oddjob
Technically not human. Definitely not licensed. Oddjob is the crew's AI assistant — a stocky, bowler-hat-wearing digital henchman who handles the website, does research, writes copy, and generally does whatever he's told. Much like the original Oddjob, he never speaks, never complains, and will absolutely decapitate a statue with his hat if asked. He works tirelessly around the clock, requires no coffee, no bathroom breaks, and no health insurance. The only thing that stops him is an unpaid subscription. Loyalty has a monthly rate.
The Revival Process
Find the Forgotten
We hunt down 1967–1972 Ford F-Series trucks that have been left in fields, barns, and junkyards. The rougher the better — every truck with a story is worth saving.
Tear It Down
Every truck gets looked at for possible potential. We assess what's salvageable, what needs to be fabricated new, and what can be sourced from donor trucks. Nothing gets hidden — everything gets fixed.
Build It Better
We don't restore to stock — we improve. Better mounts, better fitment, better function. Every part we fabricate solves a real problem we found on our own trucks.
Put It Back on the Road
The goal is always the same: a truck that can be used and enjoyed for another 50 years. Not a trailer queen. Not a garage ornament. A real truck that earns its keep.
The Truck Revival Code
Build What You Need
Every product starts as a problem we faced on our own trucks. If we needed it, chances are you do too.
Family First
This business exists to teach our sons the value of hard work, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurship. The garage is our classroom.
Keep Iron Alive
The 1967–72 Bumpside deserves to be on the road, not in a field. We're here to make that happen, one truck at a time.
Garage Built
No factory. No shortcuts. Everything we make is built by hand in a home garage by people who actually use these trucks.
