Up for sale is a 1956 ford F-100 1/2 ton pickup. It has its original 272 ci V8 engine and the original column shift 3 speed manual transmission. The truck starts and runs and you can drive it around the block but at this point I would not call it road worthy. It needs a front suspension rebuild, carb could use a rebuild, engine smokes blue when fired up and could use overhaul. I drove the car around the block a few times this week and it is currently registered and insured. It has a new brake master cylinder, new shoes, and new wheel cylinders, so the brakes work well. there is a new exhaust system from the manifold back with a glass pack muffler. Valve cover gaskets as well as intake and carb base gaskets were replaced. New spark plugs, cap, rotor, points and condenser. Starter is new but the bendix is old and occasionally kicks out. frame is in great shape and was sandblasted and painted a few years ago. the previous owner started to install new bed wood but never finished putting nuts on the carriage bolts and tightening them down, so that needs finished. The inner fenders are free of rust. the rest of the body parts are in good shape. newer rear fenders, fronts are good originals. Cab has some patchwork done on the floor but is otherwise solid. doors are in good shape and have new latches just installed. Bed is original. rear bumper is new chrome but got damaged by tow truck driver a few months ago. front bumper is original. all 3 hood emblems are new. mirrors are in good shape. the running boards have been redone using diamond plate steel and are solid. the steel wheels are older ford KH wheels but are not original to the truck. Paint is older and doesn't have much shine but has a nice patina, or you could buff it out and it would shine up a fair bit. several chips etc. seat is still in original upholstery but needs redone. no carpet or headliner. missing interior door handles. as far as electrical, the truck starts with the key, but other than that needs rewired. my name is Jay and I'm selling the truck for a friend. If your interested in the truck its currently at my shop so we can put it up on my lift if you'd like to inspect it. Its a cool old truck but a restoration project, it just needs someone to love it again and put some energy into it. happy bidding
