Really Clean 55 on Craigslist!
Looks like a pretty decent foundation to start with, or just get her running and go! Truck is near Columbia, MO, so it's within reach for a bunch of folks. I wish my truck looked this good when I started my build!!!

I guess I have, but didn't know it! I ran across this pic some time ago and wondered why someone would put the fill for a '56 on the drivers side, but perhaps it is an additional tank added.
Now that I think about it, I think there was a thread some time ago about a ratted F100 that only had one tank, but holes on both sides like this truck.

Wow!! Just a little paint and some mechanical work and that 55 could look like this and sell for $200,000 as well.

Notice the argent painted hubcaps and the black painted gas filler cap....

My panel once had dual fuel tanks, the stock underfloor one specific to panels and one in the rear between the frame with the filler in the center of the rear pan. There was a selector switch (valve) in the floor beside the driver's seat. I don't think it was original to the truck since they were plumbed with aluminum tubing.

Hey Kevin, that was me that posted the picture. I didn't remember where I had seen it, and since I put in a 'do not track' programme I can't go back. But I Googled a bit and found it. It's called a 1955 F-100, but it clearly has the '56 body. Perhaps it is a prototype as Abe said. Anyway, it is here: 1955 Ford F-100 Pickup Truck
