Hi!
I still have some problems to find out production numbers and the cost
of the Fordomatic Transmission option for the F100-56. I will need to confirm for the customs. I appreciate all help I can get like information from experts, books or other sources. Thanks!

the following was posted on the earlyfordv8 site the other day in relation to the same question, but for a 1953 f100 w fordomatic. It looks like a link to henry ford museum. Might be good as a paid last resort. I'm sorry I don't know where to find the numbers you require. google it different ways i guess.

Here is a link to the Archives. You will have to pay for any research and they may not have the information that you are looking for due to the fire at the Rotunda.

Thanks a lot bk53! I will contact them and ask. So far I only got opinions from people who worked for Ford dealers in the fifties. They estimate 5-10% of the f100 trucks were sold with Fordomatic trans.

The cost of the Fordamatic option can be found but it might be hard to find how many were installed...

I have a pamphlet on how much options cost in 1954 if that will help you.

 

Thanks abe, I would appreciate it a lot. I need to estimate the retail price for my truck with the options.
Thanks a lot!
