This truck is for sale. Please call 866-258-6825 for details.
Our last project truck was a 1956 F100 Longbed. The truck was originally purchased from Ford by a farm in Santa Ana, CA. Later on in its life, it was purchased by the current owners father-in-law and taken to Arizona. The truck had been there until several years back and then was brought to Fountain Valley, CA where it has sat ever since.
The truck is actually in excellent condition with only minimal surface rust. The body is very straight, the bed rails are almost totally ding free, and the roof, hood, cab corners, and drip rails are rust free, not common for trucks this old which have never been restored before. One area we did find minimal rust is in the front cab corners on both sides.
The owners desire for this truck is to be restored to its original state. Over the years the truck has added numerous reflectors, spotlights, large mirrors, a rear step bumper, a gas tank can holder on the passengers side running board, and other miscellaneous items which will all be removed. As part of the restoration, any original parts that can be cleaned and reused will be. However, many will have to be replaced including all weatherstrip, glass, door and window components, grille shell, lights, lenses, headlight and parklight bezels, taillight assemblies, bumpers, and bed floor.
The steering, suspension, and engine compartment will remain as is. Each will be cleaned extensively, fixed for proper use if need be, and painted accordingly. The 292 V8 will also be left as is and only be cleaned/touched to get it in proper looking/running condition.
