I have to sell my dream truck.

Scroll to bottom of page for narrative.


1956 Ford F100, located in sunny Gilbert, AZ

The perfect amount of chrome to paint ratio





Classic wheels and tires to keep with the mean hotrod look.






Pretty from any angle.


Mini "tubbed", 14 coats of marine varnish on the white oak planks







The interior dash may be my favorite part of the truck.
Is that pretty or what?! Digital dash and all.




It is a 1956 Ford F100 with a ford 302 crate and C4 tranny on a Volare front end. It could be dropped a few more inches or raised depending how you like it to sit. It has new everything. New glass, power steering, power brakes, leather, tili hood, custom oak bed with marine varnish. Air conditioning is cold and has no heat problems, it runs cool even in the dead of summer.
It has been in 8 shows and placed 7 times.
It has 5175 miles since the rebuild.
I am selling it because I got a new job and now I have to commute 90 miles a day. I love it too much to put that kind of mileage on the truck.

It turns heads everywhere I go. I get thumbs up from everybody everytime I drive it. The paint is DuPont, color TangeloPearl. It's been tubbed so the tires are wider in back 245/60/R15, they are new. And there is room for them to be even wider. It has dual exhaust out the sides and sounds great. It has a mean rumble when idling and when you start it up. And blasts when you give it gas. Like I said, it turns heads. The exterior in my humble opinion has the perfect amount of chrome to paint ratio, see for yourself. I have a box of all the original emblems etc. The interior is all black paint, leather and cloth and is custom with bucket seats and custom center console. The dash is black with the glove box welded smooth. The dash may be my favorite part of the truck. It has all digital components, Air Conditioning, CD player with 6x9 speakers behind seats. The title is clean and AZ plated and registered.
It has shoulder harness seat belts.

It is quick. Go easy on the gas because it barks easy. It has a Dana rear end and the gear ratio is about 373. It gets up and goes. There are a million other details that I am missing so please feel free to ask.

This truck is reliable enough to be your daily driver or keep it just for shows.
It has been garage kept only. You won't be disappointed.

Please no tire kickers. Serious inquiries only.
