Vehicle Description
We could tell you this 1956 Ford F-100 is hot, but one look at the flame paint, and you already knew that. With new big block V8 power, and a ton of custom work, you'll be the hottest thing at the car show.
We've all seen cool custom cars with fire painted down the side, but what happens when the whole truck is turned into a flame? Well, for starters, it causes a stir wherever it goes. But it's more than just the tri-color paintwork. There's no denying that the mid-50s Ford pickups were some of the best-looking tools Ford ever offered (and we have seen '56s go so fast in our showroom). The upright nature of the wraparound windshield cab has a cool aggressive contrast with this custom's forward-leaning stance. The rest of the curvy bodywork has a classic old pickup look that also manages to be sporty at the same time. Fit and finish are very nice, and not a single Ford curve or corner was modified to get this appearance. Even the original badges on the side of the hood and doors remain in place. They act like pointers to the dazzling chrome front grille and bumper. And if you like brightwork, then the Pacer wheels are definitely your style. The real wood truck bed has a great look, and thanks to a custom removable tonneau cover, you don't have to worry about this lumber when you take this pickup outside.
Inside is a nice mix of old and new worlds. For your comfort, a later model bench seat has been installed. The comfortable cloth stitching has is pattern matched on the door, and the black material coordinates with the carpet properly. Not everyone thinks about matching our wardrobe, so it's nice that this custom Ford does! The dash remains clean and complete - the original heater is even still mounted under it. It has been upgraded with an AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo and padding has been added to the top for a nice finishing touch. But the idea that this pickup has only been lightly modified is instantly erased the moment you get behind the wheel. After all, the three-spoke, small diameter sports racing wheel, and full RPC gauge package are clear indications of something special under the hood.
One look at the engine bay, and you can instantly see this pickup has earned its aggressive paint. This is a 454 cubic-inch motor that is fresh off a rebuild. With the clamshell hood cutting low into the engine bay, everyone gets a good look at the large air cleaner and the dual Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors below it. So yes, this V8 is making some serious power, and everyone instantly knows it thanks to the rumble of the dual exhaust. But this one is more than just a big motor. It's supported by reliable components such as an aluminum radiator, MSD electronic ignition, and electric fuel pump. In fact, powerful and reliable is exactly how to view this pickup. It has features like power steering and a TH350 three-speed automatic so it can easily get you down the road no matter the length of the journey. Its been upgraded to an A-arm independent front suspension with disc brakes, so you know you can get there with confidence, too.
This is a big block hot rod pickup that easily earns it flames. This custom build is just looking for someone to add gas to the tank and rocket down the road. Is it you? Call today!!
