Description of 1956 Ford F-100 |
There are new trucks available now that aren't as nicely finished and comfortable as this 1956 Ford F-100. Packing a performance Ford V8, four-wheel disc brakes, and a loaded A/C interior, this beautiful pickup is a custom that really can do it all.There's no denying that the mid-50s Ford pickups were some of the best-looking tools Ford Motor Division ever built, and this is the cream of the crop. The cab's aggressive forward-leaning stance is enhanced on this one with a lowered suspension and staggered size of the Billet Specialties alloys. The rest of the curvy bodywork has a classic old pickup look that also manages to be sporty at the same time. You can see a serious investment from top to bottom that resulted in a laser-straight truck. It was then dipped in a green worthy of gem-like emerald name. Fit and finish are very nice, and not a single Ford curve or corner was modified to get this look. Instead the badges were removed and the door handles shaved to get a sleeker appearance. This also helps draw attention to the mirror-like chrome front grille and bumper. While this Ford is a show-stopper of a custom, it still retains its great vintage appearance, right down to the real wood in the truck bed.Open the door and you can see instantly that this is a custom build with a lot of money invested. The standard bench seat has been replaced with a custom dual power bucket setup with center console that provides sculpted seating for the driver and passenger. The headliner and the custom door panels match the tan leather on the seats for a very luxurious feel. In fact, this pickup was built with modern comfort in mind with features like power windows, AM/FM/CD stereo, and ice-cold air conditioning. But while those keep the passenger happy, this is a true driver's pickup. There is a custom chrome steering wheel with Ford's famous oval logo in the middle. Beyond that is an upgraded full digital gauge package, which keeps you informed about everything that's going on under the hood.Filling the engine bay is a big blue oval big block. Ford's 428 cubic-inch V8 looks great sitting in the smooth green engine bay dressed with the long Cobra air grabber and shiny Cobra LeMans valve covers. Topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and exhaling out of a rumbling Flowmaster dual exhaust, this one has all the right performance chops. But more than just a big power package, it's a thorough custom build. When you look at the undercarriage photos, not only do you see the show-worthy paint appearance throughout, but also there's an upgraded A-arm independent front suspension and a four-link rear. Plus, each wheel features adjustable coilovers and disc brakes for the ultimate in control. Add in a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and BF Goodrich Comp T/A tires, and you've got a great anytime package.This custom build perfectly combines classic looks, modern conveniences, and high horsepower. This fine Ford is turnkey ready to take you on long trips in comfort, haul home awards, or both! Don't wait...call today!!! |
