Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an exceptional and
beautiful example of this very rare and highly desirable rust free
1956 F100 Pick with the coveted rear 'Big Window'!In 1956 the F100
reached it's finest design. Many changes were implemented that make
this truck the best and most desirable of the legendary 1953-56
series of F100's! It is arguably one of the coolest trucks ever
built, tough, solid, practical and ruggedly handsome! This may
explain it's success when new and it's cult like following status
as a collectable! The easiest way to recognize a '56 over the
1953-55 F100 models is by the cab with the slant front windshield
pillars gone in favor of the more refined and highly desirable wrap
around windshield leading the earlier models to be referred to as
'slant cabs'. The '56 cab design change led to all kinds of
additional changes such as a more rectangular shaped vent window
and of course different door windows and division bars from the
'slant cabs'. The '56 front grille and parking light assemblies are
unique to '56 models and the air deflectors have a dished out area
for the headlight bucket to have room. The dash gauge area also is
arched on '56 models whereas the 'slant cabs' have flat dashes. '56
models had a new 12 volt electrical system and electric wipers.
Rear tail lights were the shield type. The rarely ordered wrap
around 'Big Rear Window' trucks are now highly coveted and very
collectible amongst truck enthusiasts.This rust free show truck was
sold to it's original owner in Salem, Oregon where it was
originally ordered as a 'Custom Cab' with the large rear window,
extra chrome and stainless trim and upgraded interior. The truck
was reportedly always garaged until sold in 2013 to it's most
recent owner where it continued to be garage kept. It was restored
a few years ago and is truly a very striking example which also
drives incredibly well. The truck bed has all new wood and as you
can see, and sports all new chrome including front and rear
bumpers.This truck must be seen and driven to be fully appreciated
- the 223 CID 6 cylinder engine is extremely strong and the 3 spd
manual transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the
engine temperature always remains cool. The truck has been
repainted in a striking Light Green color paint and the restored
Gray interior is in excellent condition throughout.This is one very
fine example of a highly collectible and most desirable 1956 year
of the legendary F100 Big Window pick up in rare turn-key ready
daily appreciating, daily driving and daily head-turning all time
classic American truck!
