Madison

Most people look at a 1951 Ford F6 and see a piece of history. The team at Headwaters Customs looked at it and saw a bar on wheels waiting to happen.

Madison started as a commission unlike anything the shop had taken on before. The goal was to transform this classic cab-over work truck into a fully functional mobile draft beer service vehicle — one that looked like it belonged in 1951 while serving cold craft beer in the present.

The bed was completely reimagined. What was once a standard flatbed was converted into a custom-fabricated enclosure styled to look like it's hauling stacked old school beer crates — the kind you'd have seen on a delivery truck rolling through downtown in the early 1950s. Behind that nostalgic facade is a fully insulated, refrigerated cooler built from scratch to maintain serving temperature across all 13 lines.

The tap system itself is commercial grade — 13 independent draft lines, each capable of serving a different beer. The entire rear of the truck opens for service, revealing the tap handles and cooler in a way that stops people in their tracks at any event.

Madison isn't a hot rod. It's not a restomod. It's a one-of-a-kind functional piece of rolling art that proves Headwaters Customs can build anything a client can dream up.
