Vehicle Description
1956 Ford F-100 Pro-Touring build completed in 2020 by premier
builder Metal Brothers Hot Rods. The builders started with a clean
big-window 56 F-100 out of El Paso, TX, and a 4-inch stretched
chassis by Roadster Shop with 13-inch Wilwood disc brakes and
RideTech shocks. For the wheels, Boyd HR-99 20-inch for the rear
and 19-inch in front were chosen. The new Coyote 5.0-liter Gen 2
engine with PBH pulleys and 6R80 transmission provide the power
through a Ford 9-inch differential with a 3.25 ratio. The fenders
were widened 3.5 inches in the rear and 2.5 in the front, the cab
has been slightly chopped 1.5 inches below the windows and the body
dropped 1.5 inches. The truck was also stretched 4 inches, the
front fender openings have been aligned with the wheels, and the
hood has been pie-cut for a sleeker look. The custom running boards
smoothly flow from the front to rear fenders, and the front and
rear glass are flush-mounted. Further modifications are in the
truck bed, which include double-wall bed sides to hide all
fasteners, a custom hardwood bed floor and tailgate with hidden
hinges. The interior features custom vintage oak leather
throughout, Snowden bucket seats, custom center console and
headliner, hidden window switches and Kicker Bluetooth stereo, and
a custom dash with Dakota Digital HDX gauges. This new build only
has 150 test miles on the odometer and won Truck of the Year at the
F-100 Grand Nationals in 2020 and is featured in the F-100
Builder's Guide, Winter 2021 Issue 15. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
