Vehicle Description
This 1956 Ford F-100 is an interesting classic. After all, it has
the iconic vintage pickup look, right down to the paint. But
beneath it is a V8 upgrade. 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.
The farm truck license plate on the front of this one really sets a
nice tone for this Ford. It has an actual miles title, and so those
seven decades feel like they were worn in with trips out to the
barn. Even the paint gives off a nice workman survivor vibe. The
Glacier Blue is not only factory-correct, but also it's believed to
be the original application. And the way the patina is coming
through people will assume it's all original without even asking.
Plus, the durable black on the bumpers, running boards, and rubber
bed mat highlight a ready to work attitude. But there's also
something more here than just a well-respected classic pickup. The
American Racing Torq Thrust wheels and the taller rear tire size
give this a stance that hints at that little bit of hot rod flair
we mentioned before.
Inside, the sea of blue continues. It has that stock ready-to-work
attitude we love in vintage trucks. The rubber floor cover is ready
for muddy work boots; the heater is there for cold days out in the
far fields; and that classic three-spoke steering wheel has the
hand grooves from the generations of farmers that came before you.
In fact, this has such a great vintage attitude, the upgrades are
barely notable. For example, the steering column has three inches
chopped out of it for better comfort. And seat has been recovered,
because not everything can last for over 65 years.
Under the hood is where this one is a little different than your
average survivor. It has been upgraded to Chevy small block power.
It's not hard to understand a swap like this, because it keeps with
the attitude of retaining a strong tool for working. But if this
were the tale of a pure farm truck, it also feels a little like the
farmer's young son did the transplant. That's because this 283
cubic-inch V8 has been given a full Edelbrock upgrade with ribbed
valve covers, a shining air topper, performance intake, and
four-barrel carburetor. The column shifted three-speed manual
transmission gives you full control of this motor, and the Ford
9-inch rear is stout enough for work or play.
This is the survivor-grade truck with some extra personality. It
makes for a terrific affordable package that's ready to run right
now. Call today!!!
