I never heard of her nor that movie but I found out she was in this movie that had several 56 Ford trucks in it, Untamed Youth. Here's the trucks:

 

If at all, in 1957 you were a untamed newborn at most, Abe?

 

You're correct Titus. I was 2 in 1957.

 

Perfect example of a new 56 custom cab big window that does NOT have a pass door arm rest

 

Too bad this film was in B&W. Notice the two F100's were customized in two tone paint, one of them having WWW tires .

 

Well, at least you won't poke your eyes out.

 

And notice the door handle is at a 45 degree angle pointing toward the division bar....

Kevin, was a passenger side arm rest an extra cost option, even for the Custom Cabs?

 

I’ve owned a lot of trucks over the years, many custom cabs and several big windows and I’ve never had a pass side arm rest on any of them.

 

Thanks, Kevin. I wonder why they eliminated them in 56?

 

 

 

Man oh Man.... You look at that elegant support bracket and think, "I wonder how many other fine pieces of fabrication are in that Suspension?

 

Looks like they are running the blower backwards.

Hard to find pictures of the old front mounts, but the way that one is sitting, it looks like it's blowing out of what we would consider the "top" when installed on top of a V8.

Half way down the page, flattie with front mount:
Flathead Ford, Hudson Hornet 7X, flathead supercharger kits & vintage nostalgia racing

That blower was probably on a Euclid earthmover at some construction site earlier in the month.....
