1956 Ford F-100 Description

I AM SELLING MY TRUCK DUE TO A SERIOUS BACK INJURY. THIS IS A SUPER NICE LITTLE TRUCK. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. IT WAS A FAMILY OWNED TRUCK SINCE NEW. IT WAS BOUGHT AT GALPIN FORD IN SAN FERNANDO VALLEY IN 1956. IT WAS OWNED BY A FAMILY WHO HAD A CAR DEALERSHIP. THE OWNER USED THIS TRUCK TO DRIVE FROM L.A. TO MAMOUTH LAKE FOR FISHING TRIPS AND CAMPING. IT WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF ALL ITS LIFE. A FEW YEARS BEFORE HE DIED HE HAD IT RESTORED IN 1999. IT WAS HIS FAVORITE TRUCK SO HE WANTED IT TO LOOK LIKE NEW. HE OWNED OVER 100 ANTIQUE CARS BUT THIS TRUCK WAS FAVORITE. IT WAS USED BEFORE IT WAS RESTORED ON SINGER CLINT BLACKS TOUR SHIRT AND CD DISK FOR THE 1998 NOTHING BUT THE TAIL LIGHTS TOUR. I HAVE THE SHIRT, DISK AND BLACK ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA PLATES THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE FRONT OF THE SHIRT. IT GOES WITH THE TRUCK.THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN DOWN TO THE CAB AND FRAME AND REDONE. ENGINE WAS GONE THRU AND ANYTHING NEEDING REPLACED WAS DONE. DOORS WERE TAKEN APART, NEW RUBBER AND SO ON. IT HAS 7 COATS OF CLEAR. IT WAS NEVER BEEN COLOR SANDED SO THAT SHOULD BE DONE. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL BLEMISHES IN THE PAINT, SOME NICKS, A SMALL DING IN THE TAILGATE AND IT THE REAR RIGHT FENDER. HAS THE ORIGINAL BACK GLASS WHICH HAS SMALL SCRATCHES. THE WINDSHIELD IS NEWER BUT HAS LIGHT SAND PITTING. WOOD NEEDS TO BE SANDED LIGHTLY AND RE COATED. TRUCK DRIVES LIKES NEW, NEEDS A VALVE ADJUSTMENT, A COUPLE ARE A LITTLE NOISY. NEEDS A VALVE COVER AND SIDE PLATE GASKET, NEW ONES COME WITH THE TRUCK. HEATER HOSES NEED TO BE REPLACED ALSO. THE ONLY THING THAT DOES NOT WORK IS THE TEMP GAUGE. SHIFTS NICE, OVERDRIVE WORKS GREAT AND RUNS SWEET. IT WAS IN STORAGE IN A AIRCRAFT HANGER FOR ABOUT NINE YEARS AFTER THE OWNER DIED. I GOT IT FROM HIS SON. HE SAID HIS DAD PUT ABOUT $27,000 DOLLARS IN THE TRUCK WHEN HE HAD IT RESTORED. IT IS NOT A 100% SHOW TRUCK BUT IT IS REALLY NICE. NEEDS A LITTLE TLC AND CLEAN UP. IT WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 5000 MILES AFTER IT WAS RESTORED. THERE ARE A FEW EXTRA PARTS THAT GO WITH IT, INCLUDING A REPRODUCTION FRAME AND CANVAS CANAPY THAT GOES IN THE STAKE POCKETS AND TIES TO THE HOOKS IN THE BED. IT LOOKS ALMOST LIKE THE ORIGINAL ONE FORD SOLD. IF YOU DO NOT WANT IN I WILL KEEP IT. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME OR COME ON OUT AND TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE.
