This 1956 Ford F-100 pickup was purchased by the seller in 2019 and was subsequently refurbished. Work included overhauling the 223ci inline-six, repainting the exterior, and refreshing the interior. Equipment includes 16″ steel wheels, Bilstein shocks, a wood bed floor and side stakes, and a heater. This F-100 is offered with a Virginia title in the seller’s name.
The truck has been repainted red and is equipped with white-painted bumpers, a wood bed floor and side stakes, and dual side mirrors. The headlights, taillights, rear window, and windshield were replaced during the refurbishment. A paint blister is visible on the left side of the truck.
Body-color steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are mounted with Firestone whitewall tires. The truck is equipped with Bilstein shocks. The brake pads and wheel cylinders were replaced during the refurbishment.
The bench seat has been reupholstered in white vinyl, and the cab also features body-color metal surfaces, black flooring, and a heater.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 90-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles, approximately 20 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 223ci Cost Clipper inline-six was overhauled in 2019. Work included replacing the camshaft, radiator, oil pump, water pump, and valves, grinding the crankshaft, and boring the cylinders 0.040″ over, per the seller.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission. The clutch and rear differential bearings and seals were replaced during the refurbishment.
