Meet “The Duomo”—a
@56fordpanel truck that
@fatfendergarage transformed from a three-generation family workhorse into what might be the world’s ultimate restomod. Originally bought 65 years ago by Steve Castellano’s grandfather to haul furniture, this rare commercial classic was driven by Steve’s dad in high school and has now been elevated into a true rolling heirloom. Named after Milan’s iconic cathedral as a nod to its long, multi-generational evolution, the truck now pairs its rich heritage with world-class execution: a custom BASF burnt orange paint job that shifts from deep copper to bright orange, a Gen 3 Coyote 5.0L V8 mated to a 10-speed transmission, a custom Porterbuilt chassis, and a fully bespoke interior featuring custom wood flooring and dual A/C. It’s a flawless intersection of family legacy, modern performance, and master craftsmanship.
