Other websites

I have been looking the last couple months for a project '55 or '56 f100, is there any other forums or websites that would have some listed for sale. The main places that I have been looking is here in the classified, ebay, and classiccartraderonline.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I willing to travel and spend up to $10K on the truck, or spend less on the truck and start restoring immediately.

Thanks Dustin

Craigslist.org usually has some old trucks listed. Where are you located?

Made seeing Hemmings listings easy

We're pulling in the Hemmings.com listings for 53-56 Ford F100's into our site at

http://f100central.com/hemmingslistings.html

This makes it easy to see all of the listings quickly. It's a good source sometimes.

Truck clubs can be a good source

We have a list of some of the truck clubs that are out there. You may be able to contact them and ask if anyone knows of a truck for sale. They may even email their membership to find one.

There is a list at our site:

Show Me F100's is in Missouri and seem like they cover some territory. Plus you said you'd drive, so, good luck....Also one listed from Arkansas....I'm from Ohio so forgive me if that's out of your range for looking at trucks.

Hope it helps

well depending on your skill you could always go drive around on the dirt roads and look for one sitting out in the weeds. you could darn sure get one for less than 10k most people would sell you there daily driver for 10k. it an option if you can find one you could probaly get it cheap.

Hello I know where there is one in Michigan and I know where a truck is here in Tennessee. The one in Michigan is a cab only. The one here in Tn is a complete truck that is disassembled. The cab has been painted and the frame has been rebuilt to stock specs. How far are you willing to drive? Both of these are slant cabs(53-55). If a 56 was just what you had to have I could probably locate one. One piece of advice the better a truck you start you will miles and miles and miles ahead without the aggravation. Just my .02. Thanks

I am really only interested in the '55 and the '56 (mostly '56). I am probably willing to travel about 1k miles. Any help would be appreciated in locating me a truck.

Put an ad in your local paper saying you want one. Also dont be afraid to put the Wanted Ads online in places people in your area look.

My first 56 was found that way. The guy was browsing my ISP's wanted ad's and he had a 56 sitting in a barn.


I found my 1955 on the classifieds here.

That's how I found my truck. I put an ad in the papers, mostly in the farm country, around my house. I only got one response, but it was the only one I needed.
