350-Powered 1956 Ford F-100
As the exclusive photographer of Petrol Lounge, when one of our clients want to sell or auction off their vehicle, I’m called to extensively shoot it.
Bring A Trailer said this about the F100 I’ve photographed for them: “This 1956 Ford F-100 pickup was refurbished and modified more than 20 years ago under prior ownership, with work that included removing the body from the frame and refinishing it in metallic gray over beige cloth upholstery. Power comes from a modified GM 350ci V8 linked to a 700R4 automatic transmission and a 9″ locking rear end, and additional modifications include a Mustang II–style front suspension, adjustable coilovers, a four-link rear suspension, front disc brakes, rack-and-pinion power steering, chrome smoothie-style wheels and hubcaps, shaved door handles, dual external exhaust pipes, a wood-plank bed floor, air conditioning, power windows, later-model bucket seats, aftermarket instrumentation, tilt steering, a banjo-style steering wheel, and an Alpine head unit. The truck was acquired by the current owner in July 2019 and stored in Florida, and the fuel tank was reportedly drained and the carburetor rebuilt in preparation for the sale. “
“The body was removed from the frame and refinished in metallic gray during the aforementioned refurbishment that is said to have occurred in the late 1990s. Modifications include a front-hinged hood, front fender trim, dual chrome side mirrors, tinted glass, shaved door handles with electric releases, dual exhaust pipes running up and over both rear fenders, Ford and F100 badging, and a custom tailgate with an inset license-plate mount. The windshield wipers, turn signals, and right brake light are inoperative, and other exterior flaws include cracked and chipped paint in multiple areas, corrosion on bright-finished components, bubbling on the lower doors, and door misalignment. The paint and trim are pictured up close in the gallery below.” (BringATrailer)
