Vehicle Description
1956 Ford F100 The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks
and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) that have been marketed and
manufactured by Ford Motor Company. In production since 1948, the
F-Series includes full-size pickup trucks, chassis cab trucks, and
commercial vehicles. As of 2019 production, the Ford F-Series
includes the F-150 pickup, Class 3-5 Super Duty trucks (F-250
through F-550), and the Class 6-8 Super Duty trucks (F-650, F-750).
The most popular version of the F-Series is the F-150, now in its
thirteenth generation. Second generation (1953-1956) For the 1953
model year, Ford introduced a second generation of the F-Series
trucks. Increased dimensions, improved engines, and an updated
chassis were features of the second generation. In another change,
the model nomenclature of the F-Series was expanded to three
numbers; this remains in use in the present day. The half-ton F-1
became the F-100 (partially influenced by the North American F-100
Super Sabre)[citation needed]; the F-2 and F-3 were combined into
the �-ton F-250 while the F-4 became the one-ton F-350.
Conventional F-Series trucks were F-500 to F-900; COE chassis were
renamed C-Series trucks. While the cabs, doors, rad support, inner
fenders and hoods are the same from 1953-1956 F-100 & F-250s (the
fenders varied on F250, 350,500 and long boxes were only available
on F-250), in 1956 the cab underwent a major revision. Centered
around a wraparound windshield, the cab was given new doors, a
redesigned dashboard, and an (optional) panoramic rear window). In
line with Ford cars, the 1956 F-Series offered seat belts as an
option. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is at our
