Clear

A few weeks back I was told by a friend that his neighbor in Rancho Cucamonga CA had this 56 F100 sitting under a covered canopy in his back yard and of course, being a 56 Ford enthusiast, I had to check it out. Well, comes to find out, it was a rare big window that had been there parked with a broken rear u joint since 1974!!!! And he was the original owner!!! I had to have it!! Although he was reluctant to sell, he realized he will never get around to restoring her and would like for another 56 enthusiast to get it back on the road and enjoy it...Fortunately, that enthusiast was me! Right time right place!!! Well, I bit off more then I could chew seeing I am in the middle of restoring a pro touring 56 Chevy 210 and am getting sick of pushing her in and out of the garage every weekend when I need to work on it. So with a heavy heart, I am selling Here are some details on her They lost all their paperwork including pink slip but I ran the VIN through DMV and it does not even exist in the system. So its a clean and clear truck for re registration. All original sheet metal in great condition(driver fender was dented and has some bondo but can easily be repaired) looks like an old 1960s repair. All original 272 V8 y Block motor with 3 speed Ford O Matic Trans and rear end.(motor is not running, told it did when he parked it but is been stripped of hoses and most fluids and has been sitting for almost 40 years). Both door glass pieces are missing but all regulators are there. back window and stainless trim in great shape. Front windshield is broken and has a hole in it. Bed wood is gone but all steel runners are there. Missing front seat, radio and heater. Has original steering column and wheel. has original visors and gauge cluster. Original radiator and shroud, original fuel tank and sending unit. The wheels and tires are not original. Have original hood hinges in the truck(they were seized up so I removed for rebuild) Original color of truck was baby blue. There is a little cancer at cab corner on driver rear and passenger front. Not bad like a bunch of these other ones I've looked at in past. A little rust bubbling over drip rail but it will grind out and did not go all the way through( I can take pics of any rust concerns and email over if you need them the worst one is the one I posted). Roof is awesome, running boards are nice, bed panels have some stress cracks at corners but NO rust. Tailgate is nice. Only rust on fenders is the typical where running board meets the rear fender. No rust in the doors or hood, frame in excellent condition, all stock just dirty( Its a California truck and been here its whole life so in excellent condition). Any other rust areas seen in pics are surface and comes right off. The floors are in excellent condition and very solid. Im probably making it sound way worse than it is but I want whoever that buys it to be overly surprised in a good way when they get it, not the opposite. Ive been building classics for the last 20 years as a hobby and finding trucks like this one don't come around often, especially big windows. That's why I snatched it up. I am very picky about what I buy and build and I wont buy basket cases as im not into throwing away good money after bad. This 56 is an excellent base for a build, street rod or original....Please feel free to call me or email and I can answer any questions or send pics of anything you need to see regarding body, motor etc. Im not into misleading people and want you to be as happy as I was when I found and purchased this!!! My name is Chad and you can call me at (949)910-3510. I can take a deposit through pay pal but prefer balance to be wired or cash upon pick up. Unless you want to pay the 3% fee on PayPal. Its totally up to you. Thanks again for looking and good luck!!!!! On Apr-01-13 at 11:03:20 PDT, seller added the following information: Wind wing frames and glass are there and are in good shape. YES it is a short bed / half ton, all stainless around windshield and rear window are complete and in excellent condition...just need to be polished. Stainless headlight rings are there and in excellent shape.On Apr-02-13 at 09:07:11 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had a few people ask me about the title for the truck...The original owner couldn't find the pink the weekend I purchased it from him. Im still on him on a weekly basis to keep looking for it however I believe it will be lost in the abyss forever. With that being said, I can only give you a bill of sale. The VIN #s are in the description and you can run them through your DMV or AAA and it will show that the truck does not even exist in the system since the last time I believe it was registered was in the mid 70s. In CA as long as it has the original VIN tag, VIN stamp on the frame and a motor(which this truck has all of them) you take it to the DMV and they will do an inspection and re issue you a title in your name. Unfortunately I never got around to doing it due to the fact that I have to borrow a trailer every time I need to tote it around, therefor it was not on my priority list to get it registered in my name at that point. There are NO backfees of any sort and the truck is NOT a salvage. Depending on what state you live in it is a rather easy process to go through to get titled in your name. Hopefully this information helps!!! Happy Bidding!!!!On Apr-02-13 at 16:48:05 PDT, seller added the following information: ************NEW INFO******** Just cleaned the VIN tag(See Pic) This truck was a RARE Blue and white 2 tone......Color code D for Diamond Blue and E for white 2 tone with RED interior Dont know why I didn't pay attention to that before!!!!On Apr-03-13 at 13:32:41 PDT, seller added the following information: Sorry for all the additions but apparently I'm leaving pertinent information out.....dash is uncut. The hole is for the factory AM radio. No other holes have been made. Frame has NO rust issues at all. All body panels are the original that the truck was born with. The bed panels are in excellent condition and very straight, NOT used as a work truck it appears. The bed stake pockets on the driver side have a crack on each of them(they can be welded up) That's what I meant by stress cracks at corners. Tailgate is nice and straight as well without any bows or dents I can see. This truck is all original with NO modifications made to it from top to bottom. Thanks once more!!!!
