Also just wanted to say I bought this truck for 4000.00 a couple of years ago, with minor rust in one cab corner. Running and driving!

 

Also please disregard my shorts!!!! Lol

 

Would you like a BIG effie?

1956 FORD F-500

 

Well this one is a awful color but it looks pretty good for my 30 second look.
$6000

I use autotempest.com. It searches a bunch of sites.

 

Here is an all original with the 239Y block.

OK time to go mow the lawn...

 

That looks more like a $16K to $20K truck to me.

 

That is a beautiful 56 in my opinion. That's what I'm looking for, a driver that I can work on here and there and someday make pretty when I have more cash and the kids are on their own.

 

Thanks for all the replies and the recommendations on places to look. I'll be spending some time on here especially after seeing how welcoming and helpful you all are. It's nice as a new guy to have the enablers around! I'll be looking until I get deployed after Christmas and hopefully I can continue my search from there as well.

 

Holy smokes! No way that's a $6000 truck.

 

Yeah, I was wondering about that truck. You almost wonder if it is a scam.

 

Just looking at the sellers reply to someone's question about the price makes me pretty sure it's a scam.

 

Definitely Scam!!!

 

Here are some 56's from your local enabler's club:

As others have said it might be better to pay for hauling then get one cheap near you and pay to fix it up. Good luck.

 

the blue one in AZ is awesome. I've seen it in person.

 

the only down-side (to me) is that it is a 6 banger not a Y-block. I wonder what the reserve is?
