I searched for well a year or so looking for a 1956 Ford pickup. I was very peculiar about the year, I like the 53-55s, but the vertical pillar of a '56 is just awesome to me. After literally going through every alley in this town as well as checking craigslist constantly, I finally found this one and knew it was perfect.
The F-100 is more popular, but I prefer the larger trucks. She has a 292 V8, 5 speed manual, 2 speed rear end and a compressor of gaintness.
Truck was originally used in a gold mine, bought new and repainted red. It was garaged for 50 years so it's rust free. I will be the third owner.
Runs and drives, which that alone says far more than any other truck I've come across in my search, most where beaten to death and rust buckets priced as if they where solid gold.
I plan on making a custom bed for it, I want it to look stock though I've never seen an F-600 with a normal bed on it. Should be pretty awesome with the duallies.
More pictures to come in time. Will be painted a candy red when finished
