Vehicle Description
This 1956 Ford F-100 is an interesting classic. After all, it has
the iconic vintage pickup look, but it has the kind of stance that
tells you there's some extra V8 power under the hood. So no matter
if you're looking for a cool classic or a little hot rod flair,
this has it all... and all for an affordable price.
These later 2nd-gen F-Series trucks are all about the curves.
Curved windshield, shapely fenders, and a rounded hood has a great
classic style. The off-white paint has a good gloss, but overall,
it has the kind of finish you want on a pickup with workman
attitude. This has great vintage details, like the real wood in the
truck bed, correct badging, step plates, and two-piece wheel trim.
Plus, the front bumper and grille have a particularly bright shine
to put a nice face forward. But the lowered stance and aerodynamic
folding tonneau cover also give this classic a hint of performance,
too.
Just like the exterior, the interior has been updated without being
overdone. The upgraded bench seat is far plusher than what you got
in the 1950s, and it's covered in a comfy velour. The two-tone gray
on the seat is continued on the door panels and coordinates with
the carpeting for a nice look. The upgraded Bell four-spoke
steering wheel gives you a feeling of both vintage and performance.
Beyond that, the full dash has a great classic look, right down to
the AM radio that's still on display.
Under the hood you can immediately spot the upgrade. The 350
cubic-inch V8 is a larger displacement than just about anything
that was available across the F-Series line in '56. It has even
been given a Edelbrock upgrade kit in the best places with the
valve covers, intake, and new four-barrel carburetor. The V8 fires
up eagerly, and the upgraded dual exhaust has subtle but sweet
rumble. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is an addition
to make this a great cruiser. The same goes for the upgraded
independent front end, power steering, and power brakes with discs
up front.
This is the classic truck with some extra personality. It makes for
a terrific affordable package that's ready to run right now. Call
