1956 Ford F100

OK, too many projects, not enough time, space, and money.

So.....up for auction is my '56 F100. Its a labor of love, time, and money. 1st off, I've owned the truck for many years, worked on it, fixed it, built it, changed it, and drove it. It's one of the cleanest bodies I've ever seen on a '56. The paint is absolutely shot, I mean PATINA galore. But the metal is very good. California truck, almost no rust. Raingutters clear, cab corners (4) clear, floors clear, fenders clear. The doors click shut with one finger! The doors, and the fenders, and hood line up very nice. Probably all original sheet metal. Judging by the fit and the finish.

Running gear: It has a very healthy, yet very streetable 350. Edelbrock 4bbl, full length tube headers, camelback (fuelie) 202  heads. Cam, intake, etc. 12 Volt alternator, GM HEI ignition. Very low miles on engine. Dual 2 1/2" pipes with 50 series Flowmasters. Electric choke. Click starts every time! Very dependable, yet healthy, and sounds good. Electric cooling fan. Manually operated, via a switch on the dash.

Built 350 automatic. Stock stall, nice shift kit, and cooler. Just solid, no hard shifts. Built to last. Same, very low miles as engine, and exhaust.

The transmission is hooked up to a balanced driveline, running to a GM factory disc brake rear-end. Running (I'm pretty sure) 3.42 posi. Don't quote me on that, but quite sure. It's set up as a 5bar. 4 bar with coilovers, and a panhard bar. The coilovers are adjustable, as well as the 4 bar setup.

Front suspension: Taken from a mid 70's Z/28 Camaro. Bigger disc brakes, quick ratio power steering, bigger sway bar, and stiffer coil springs. Its got the Hydro boost GM factory brake booster. Not a vacuum booster. This setup works better on engines with lopey cams. Also running a semi rare Tilt/telescopic column from a Cadillac. Very comfortable.

4 wheel, power disc brakes!

Old School Cragar mag wheels. Very good condition for being the original wheels, not repops. 10" and 8" x 15".

Good radial tires. It's got the big and little, down in front attitude look to it!! Get the attention, when I take it out for a spin!

All new wiring, modern fuse panel, several circuits, all clean and tidy.

Interior: Very sparce, all business, New Classic Instrument gauge set. Caddy Tilt/tele column, factory bench seat just recovered in black tuck n roll. Solid floors, new front windshield, and rubber weather stripping. Door glass is cracked, but cheap and easy to replace. I like the cracks, goes with the Rat Rod look.

So, all in all one very well built truck. Built to last, and built to be driven dependably. It is solid.

Needs: my opinion, yours may be different. carpeting, insulation, bed floor, door weatherstripping, door glass, paint, headliner, etc. etc.

Starts, runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The bedwood is missing. Again, kits are available, and fairly cheap. I was just going to run plywood, stain it and put the metal strips over the top. But, never got to it, so you can do it the way you want.

Check my other auction. I'm also selling my '67 El Camino, Chip Foose theme (black/red) 327, 4spd. bad!!
