Up for auction is a 1956 FORD F-350 Custom-Cab Truck Original 223 cubic inch 6 Cylinder engine, nd the optional 4 Speed Synchro-Silent manual Transmission (on floor). VIN: 4813530TK-25262 This Canadian Barn-Find starts right up and runs well. New: Battery, uel Pump, lug Wires, istributor cap (Rotor, oints, ondenser), nd Coil. Have new spark plugs too, ut not yet installed (included). The single down-draft "Holley" carburetor was just rebuilt too. Truck has a clear State of Iowa title. Odometer reads about 91,000 miles. The 1956 F-Series was built with 12V wiring. Would be a great full or partial restoration project, r would even make a neat Rad-rod. Original cab color was a red-orange, ut was painted blue and then black at some point. I kind of like the look honestly. I have not gotten to cleaning up inside of cab, ixing brakes/lines yet, or gas tank (which needs a clean out - engine fed by 1 gallon make-shift under hood fuel supply now). Some glass needs to replaced, eat not original. Previous owner was offered a good amount of money to sell in parts (grill, oors), ut resisted - as will I. This truck just needs a little work by person with time, nowledge and place to keep (which is not me as I can't store at home to work on). The 1956 Ford F-Series trucks have that great sought after look, nd are popular with restorers (I see finished ones selling for $50-$100K) with incredible numbers of online parts available. Hood has very nice original emblems (front and 2 sides) as you can see in pics. This truck probably had a stake-bed originally, nd would look real cool with a new wood-built one, r a metal flatbed-type one and stakes. Please email any questions, uyer will have to arrange pickup/shipping. $500 deposit via PayPal is required within 48 hours of auction close. Truck is in storage just 10 minutes north of Davenport, A - right off Interstate 80 (about 2.5 hours straight west of Chicago, L). THANKS FOR LOOKING!
