Like new restored 1956 ford f100 regular cab short bed truck to market. This f100 is one of the nicest trucks I have seen. The truck runs great and is truly extra clean and extremely laser straight. The previous owner has invested thousands of dollars to get this truck to its current condition. The truck is a body off restoration. This is not a beater and does not need attention. The truck is ready to drive and enjoy.

This f100 is a fantastic classic and will remain one of America’s favorite trucks for years to come. This is fine example of an extra clean rust free ford f100. I am sure this truck would easily cost over 50,000 to duplicate if you were building from the ground up. This Ford shows only 24,567 miles on the odometer. We do not have proof of original miles and the truck will be sold with a box “c” title showing “tmu” true miles unknown due to its age.
The engine is a Ford 302ci v8 crate motor mated to a 3 speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The transmission shifts tight and smooth. The motor features a Ford intake manifold, Edelbrock carburetor, MSD billet distributer, MSD blaster coil, MSD 8mm plug wires, electric fuel pump and fuel filter. The engine compartment has been dressed up with plenty of shiny accents such as billet aluminum ford motorsports valve covers, chrome air cleaner, chrome valve cover breather, billet aluminum plug wire holders and a chrome alternator. The truck stays cool via the thick performance radiator, stock fan and the large stock style fan shroud. The engine also features the vintage air a/c system compressor. The exhaust system starts with the Ford cast shorty headers which are linked to a dual exhaust with blue streak bullet glasspack mufflers. The battery is located under the passenger side floor and features a trap door to access it. The engine compartment also features full smoothed fiberglass inner fender well panels. The tilt hood assembly features all chrome hardware and brackets. The hood has a double latch safety configuration and functions perfectly. The whole engine compartment is clean and tidy and all the wiring is concealed in nylon loom. The motor is strong and sounds mean with a clean low rumble. However this is a reliable driver not an uncontrollable race car. The engine starts, runs, idles and drives with no concerns. I would put my family in this truck and send them out for the day with no concerns.

The stunning dark green pearl exterior of this ford is extremely smooth and straight. The paint is a factory Chrysler color code PGD and was available on 2005 and newer model years. The paint color looks absolutely amazing on the panels of this ford. The project started with an extremely solid rust free truck. The floors, cab corners, rockers and doors are solid with no visible patch work. The truck features a tilt hood, smoothed front roll pan, smoothed rear rollpan, frenched tail lamps, shaved driver door lock, shaved/filled bedrails and a smoothed and color matched front grille. The painter took his time to smooth and work the metal to get the truck perfect. The paint job is absolutely stunning and extremely nice showing a deep flat surface with no discrepancies in the body finish. The truck was painted with Sherwin Williams paint and is buried in multiple layers of clear. The truck has no fish eyes, solvent pop or dust nubs. The body work is unreal and the truck does look straight as an arrow. All of the glass in the entire truck has been replaced and is brand new. The side and rear flat glass windows are all smoked reproduction glass(not film tint). This truck features the following brand new parts such as head lamps, chrome headlamp rings, factory front turn signals, custom tail lamps w/ blue dot lenses, chrome window trim, chrome emblems, chrome wiper bullets, chrome door handles, chrome side view mirrors, chrome tailgate hardware, billet aluminum license plate w/ 3rd brake light and dual chrome oval exhaust tips. The bed is outfitted with a beautiful polished aluminum tread bright floor with chrome plated bolt heads. The factory gas tank has been replaced with a new tank that is located below the rear of the bed. Access to the fuel filler is handled by the billet aluminum gas cap located in the bed floor. The truck sits on a set of staggered size polished aluminum American racing torque thrust ii wheels. The front wheels are 16 inch and the rear wheels are 17 inch. The wheels are wrapped in a set of like new BF Goodrich tires showing 95% tread life. The front tires are 245/50r16 and the rear tires are 255/50zr17. This restored truck is in like new condition with no signs of abuse or damage. The truck has no large dents or noticeable door dings. Over time the truck has collected a normal amount of very minor paint chips from normal driving. Rest assured none of these minor paint chips take away from the beauty of this classic. We do have a small amount of the color matched paint that will come with the purchase of the truck. This ford is amazing and you will not be disappointed.

The gray interior is absolutely stunning and features a factory recovered seat, custom door panel treatments, new headliner, new carpet, color matched dash, factory gauge cluster, custom vdo gauges temp/oil/volt, billet aluminum steering column drop, gm tilt steering column, grant leather wrapped steering wheel, billet aluminum turn signal/tilt bars, factory rubber brake pedal, factory gas pedal and a floor mounted Lokar shifter. All of the gaskets/rubber and chrome door/window handles are new as well. Keeping a sensible climate in the cab of this Ford is the responsibility of the vintage air heat and a/c unit. The unit functions perfectly and the a/c is ice cold, in fact you can’t keep it on high because it will freeze you out of the cab. The truck has a good sound system starting with the under seat mounted jvc cd player with hand held remote which is mated to a pair of hidden top of the line Boston acoustic speakers. The gas tank has been removed from behind the seat and repositioned under the bed for extra cabin space. Behind the seat you will find even more custom fit interior panels and the radio antenna hidden in the top of the seat back. The interior shows excellent like new condition with no signs of abuse, damage or tears.
The factory wiring was put to rest and replaced with a brand new “wire works” wiring kit. The kit is well installed and the under dash wiring is clean and tidy with no birds nest. The best thing about this ford is that all of the head lamps, brights, tail lamps, turn signals, hazards, rear license plate lamps, third brake light, windshield wipers, radio, dash lights, dash indicator lights, dash vdo temp/oil/volt gauges, courtesy lamp, speedometer and even the gas gauge all work correctly with no issues. That is simply amazing!!!

During the body off restoration lots of time was spent on the frame to make it look as good as the body. You can see we did not doll it up for the pics. The frame was stripped of any extra brackets and was sand blasted smooth. The frame was then painted with por15 sealer. The factory engine cross member has been replaced with an aftermarket cross member really cleaning up the look. The factory straight axle has been replaced with a full independent front suspension. The front end also features a power rack and pinion steering kit for effortless driving. The build included power brakes with a new under floor power booster and master cylinder. The truck stops via the front disc brake conversion and the factory rear drum brakes. This f100 drives straight and stops straight with no pulling.
We have done our best to describe actual condition and photograph all angles of the truck with over 500 photos to give you the best buying experience you could possibly have. We have all the radio face plate, radio remote, touch up paint and two sets of keys that will be included with the purchase of this f100. This truly is one of the nicest f100’s for sale currently. The quality of this build is amazing. The truck is straight as an arrow and you will not be disappointed.
