Red Hot 1956 F-100 Is a Turn Key Show Winner

Some guys pour years and incredible sums of money into building their ultimate dream truck. Others simply give incredible sums of money to their local builder to do it for them. But there’s always a third option, one that usually represents a better value. Why not buy a turn key truck?

If you’re a fan of big-fendered Fords and you have a little cash to spare, this 1956 F-100 is available for a discount. For the price of a new loaded F-150, you can drive something you can be proud of. Plus, a cool truck you can pass down to the next generation.

Thankfully, the builder of this classic F-100 retained the external chrome pieces, and they look fantastic against the red paint. The popular Mustang II front end contributes to a lowered stance, and 17 inch Billet Specialties wheels. All in all, everything looks on-point without going overboard.

Power comes handsomely thanks to a crate 5.0 with an Edelbrock intake, Weber carb, and a lot of dress up parts. A 4-speed automatic transmission makes for easy cruising, which you’ll want to do with such a comfortable leather interior.

If you’re a bargain hunter, truck lover, and the impatient type, this 1956 F-100 is sure to be right up your alley. All you need is a little cash!
