The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) that have been marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1948. While most variants of the F-Series trucks are full-size pickup trucks, the F-Series also includes chassis cab trucks and commercial vehicles. The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States since 1981 and the best-selling pickup since 1977. It is also the best selling vehicle in Canada.

This 1956 Ford F-100 is a big window pickup finished in Mirror Black and is powered by a 312ci Ford V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and Dana 44 rear axle.

The bench seating is upholstered in red vinyl and complimented by matching door panels, carpets, and a body-colored dashboard. Equipment includes a Vintage Air air conditioning and heater system, lap belts, manually-operated windows, and a Secret Audio AM/FM stereo wired to a CD changer and adjustable subwoofer.

For many, the 1956 F100 is the ultimate pickup, offering classic styling, the inimitability of one-year-only design elements and a body that receives customization very well. This custom-built 1956 F100 is just such a testament to the philosophy. The body seams and air vents were filled and smoothed over, and the pie-cut hood lends the front end an angled, lower look. The bed is finished and smoothed without stake pockets, and the chrome and stainless is minimal but makes a statement. Meanwhile, the black paint is polished to a mirror finish.

In 1957, a brand new design came along — lower, sleeker, and available with flush-fender pickup box (Styleside) for the first time. Somehow, it wasn’t the same, and countless fans were sorry to see the 1956 Ford F-100 pickup go.
