Ford F-100 351 Cleveland 1956

General description : 1956 Ford F100 Pickup Whether you like them or not there is no denying that the F-series of pickup trucks has to be one of the most successful vehicle lines ever created.  Starting way back in 1948 and still being produced today in their 13th generation these trucks have continued to be highly popular and one of Fords biggest successes.  Back in the 50's the second generation of F-series pickups was introduced and ended in 1957 making the very clean '56 you see here one of the last of its bodystyle.  Before we even get started on the details this Pickup is definitely one to check out.  It is extremely clean and has a lot of really neat components that all work together to create the very nice show piece that it is.  The truck was fully restored in California and has racked up only 10,750 miles since being finished so it is still very fresh.  The body is in great shape with zero rust throughout.  The bright Blue color is very eye catching and was laid down very well.  It has a nice slick finish with no evidence of bad prep work.  The truck features a very nice combo of originality with tasteful customizations.  It has its original chrome grill, headlights and chrome front bumper.  That being said it has been stripped of its emblems for a very clean look.  In place of the side emblems for the hood very nice pinstriping was laid down to pay homage to the originals while also being very modern.  In back the rear bumper has been removed and a custom roll pan created with a frenched license plate.  Custom LED taillights were also added in billet bezels.  The bed of the truck has been redone with nice new wood boards and painted to match strips.  Some modifications have been done to allow room for a wider rear tire and the center chunk of the Ford 9" rear end since the truck has been slightly lowered.  If you look closely at the woodgrain you will also note a slightly bluish tint in certain places which is a very neat way of tying it all together.  All of the glass is in great condition and it does have the big back window which is the more rare of the options available for these trucks.  They also modified the side windows to make them 1 piece and eliminate the quarter windows.  This both improves your field of vision and really cleans up the side profile.  The running boards are painted to match the rest of the body and the chrome/Black strips are a very nice touch.  The truck has a great stance being slightly lowered to improve the look from stock but not being too low to impede your driving in anyway.  It rides on American Racing Torq Thrust wheels but custom smoothed center caps were added so they are very clean and free of any branding.  The hood on the truck is a very cool forward tilting system.  You open it, pull it slightly forward and then it tilts forward out of place.  It is a very cool custom look while still giving you full access to work on the motor as needed.  It certainly doesn't need any work currently though because the 351 Cleveland runs extremely well.  It is nicely dressed up with plenty of chrome and billet pieces plus the Ford Motorsport valve covers have the lettering painted the body color for a consistent complete look.  The transmission is a C6 automatic which is a 4 speed system with overdrive.  Whether you are cruising around town or down the highway this Pickup performs flawwlessly.  It has a Hydroboost power brake system with discs up front as well as power steering so driving it is a breeze.  The ride is very smooth with a Valero front end and adjustable coil overs in rear.  Underneath its mounted a stainless steel tank with the fuel door being accessed by lifting a hinged section of one the wood slats in the bed.  The dual exhaust system delivers a nice rumble and bumps right under the rear roll pan.   The interior uses a combination of leather, cloth and painted steel panels.  It has a very nice custom but also clean look while incorporating all the functionality you could ask for.  The modern high back bucket seats each have a center arm rest and 3 point seat belts.  The door panels also feature and arm rest and the door handles were hidden and tucked away.  The custom center console houses the Lokar shifter, a custom LED gear indicator, power window controls, Vintage AC/Heat controls, very nice adjustable AC vents and a Boss AM/FM/CD player (Amp mounted behind seat).  The dash is painted a matching Blue and features white face VDO gauges in a chrome bezel.  The rest of the dash has been kept very clean.  Custom panels were made for an underdash section and extend all the way to the floor which hides away all of the electrical that keeps everything working properly.  The polished tilt column incorporates the turn signal controls, hazard lights and is topped off with a Boyd leather wrapped steering wheel.  Also mounted to the column is a VDO tachometer.  This Pickup is a very high end build that is just looking for a new place to call home.  It needs nothing and is sure to be a hit with any vintage Truck fans out there.  You couldn't build it over again for asking price and it is so well cared for it looks like it was just finished.  Now is your chance to get for a fraction of what you would invest to restore/customize one on your own.
