Supply and Demand

JUANKY BUILT
WHEN IT COMES TO CUSTOM TRUCKS, THE AFTERMARKET RULES THE LAND—AND THAT SETS THE CONSUMER UP FOR A LITTLE ECONOMICS 101 AND A LESSON IN SUPPLY AND DEMAND. For customizing and upgrading, parts are supplied for the most popular trucks, and for years now that truck has worn a Bow Tie. This creates a cycle where the parts that are available cause an increase in the same truck being customized over and over.

However, when you are a custom shop and you’re tired of seeing the same old truck being built time and time again, you create your own aftermarket and tip the scale of supply and demand in your favor. That’s where this particular fat fender F-100’s story begins.

Enter Juanky Built, the small operation created by Juan Ibarra in Miami. Juan established his shop years ago as a side gig to show his creativity and explore projects most people wouldn’t build. Years have gone by and Juanky Built has expanded from a small garage to a large warehouse in which to create his projects.

As a hobbyist, his resume includes Dodges, both classic and modern, Unibody Fords, Chevy C10s and now this beautiful 1953 Ford F-100. Purchased from Edwin Flores, this truck first came to Juan as an unfinished project he could keep for himself. However, as time elapsed on this long project, Flores witnessed the passion and dedication Juan had for the F-100 and ultimately purchased it back so that Juan would instead finish the project for him and build him an uncompromised show truck.
