Vehicle Description
With its distinct two-tone style, upgraded V8 power, A/C interior,
and desirable big back window, this 1956 Ford F-1 is your
opportunity at a full custom build.
The paintwork will command attention wherever it goes. With a
metallic orange on top and a deep tan on the bottom, this has the
sweet appeal of an orange creamsicle. We especially like the silver
stripe that separates the two colors. It draws extra attention to
details, like the custom door treatment that gives you a cool take
on the Ford V8 logo. So you can really tell someone invested in
quality with this custom paint package. There are some signs that
this truck has been enjoyed since its restoration, but there's an
underling quality that will always impress. After all, the two-tone
with silver line continues even into the door jambs. Plus, the
brightwork all shines like a mirror on the bumper, grille, mirrors,
and 17-inch Boyd Coddington wheels. Even the bed has been nicely
done with bright slats and glossy lumber.
The custom theme continues inside as the exterior orange returns on
the door tops and dash. And now it's joined by two tans that are
tastefully intertwined. We especially like the upgraded seat that
keeps the classic bench look, but it now has better contouring for
all-day comfort. And the ribbed insert of the seat even matches the
pattern the custom door panels for a thoughtfully coordinated look.
The wraparound big back window design lets in extra light to give
this a nice atmosphere. Plus, you have great upgrades like power
windows and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. There's a
wood-rimmed Grant GT sports steering wheel mounted on a tilt
column, and this gives you an excellent view of the full Dolphin
gauge package.
When you lift the hood, you'll instantly recognize an engine bay
that was built for both show and go. The smooth firewall and
mirror-like inner fenders funnel your attention to the V8 upgrade
in the middle. This 302 cubic-inch V8 looks nice with its tidy
setup and Ford Racing valve covers. Plus, it has all the right
upgrades, including an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, HEI
ignition, electric fan, and headers that feed the rumbling
Flowmaster dual exhaust. There have been some nice recent upgrades,
including a rebuilt three-speed automatic transmission, new Ford
8-inch rear with versatile 3.42 gears, and a power steering box.
Add in the grip of modern sport tires and power brakes with discs
up front, and it's easy to enjoy this custom pickup on the open
road.
This is a restoration/build where they really sweated the details.
So don't let a vintage truck with this kind of quality slip away.
