1956 F100 build
A quick history first. Back in '56, my grandpa bought this truck new when my dad was born. Eventually it got passed down to my dad and in the early 80's, it was parked. I remember playing in it as a kid and as long as I can remember I've always wanted this truck. Then, a couple of years ago, my dad finally passed down his old truck to me.
Work on it has been slow, but it's coming along steadily. I don't have a huge budget to spend on her but I do what I can when I can. I'm not planning a full restoration at is time, just fixing and replacing what I need to get her going reliably and safely. A few months ago I got her running after all these years of sitting and was also able to drive her for a short distance albeit with no brakes.
As I make progress I'll try to update this thread. Thanks for your interest!
