Details

This custom 1956 Ford F-100 pickup was originally purchased from a farmer in Pennsylvania. This extensive project was a 2-year complete frame-off restoration that began in August 2006 and was completed towards the end of 2008. The paint was done in Ferrari Yellow. The interior was done in Mercedes-Benz Off-White Crème with black carpeting. The transmission is a 700R 4-speed automatic with a shift kit, heavy-duty 9” Ford rear end with a performance all-aluminum one-piece Ford driveshaft. The suspension was upgraded with 1” sway bars in the front and rear. The engine is a ZZ4 performance-grade GM 350ci small-block with Fast Burn all-aluminum heads and a Holley 650 carburetor. The trim, wheels, tires, bolts, lines, wiring, tubes, handles, lamps, mirrors, brakes, stereo, power and air conditioning have also been restored or replaced. This custom pickup rides on one-piece Foose mag wheels, and features extensive stainless-steel and chrome, and refinished wood in the bed. An aluminum fuel tank is located under the bed with a full power door to open it from inside the cab. This pickup is equipped with Vintage Air, power steering, power windows, power brakes and custom exhaust.
