Details of the truck:
This build began as a clean, un-hit, completely rust free factory big window custom cab 1956 F100 in factory meadow mist green. It was then shipped to and competed by world renown Murray Kustom Rods of Ft Worth TX https://youtu.be/mfACmr-gRIw?si=KcETaS8eQlirnY9y with the marching orders to Heath Murray that he build the truck as if it were his own. Heath did the following in a 350 hour build:
Custom painted crate Blueprint 347 Stroker engine (450hp) with matching accessory Drives, balanced with a Pro Prod Harmonic Balancer, Custom Thunderbird valve covers and Air cleaner. The aesthetic goal was to make the bulletproof Chevy engine look like a period correct hot rod Ford engine that a wealthy kid would have put in their truck ‘back in the day’.
Paired with a TCI Ford AOD Automatic Transmission with TCI torque converter.
LOKAR shifter
Custom built Moser 9” Street/Strip posi rear end, 3:50 ratio.
Upgraded Wilwood 4 piston brakes all around with wilwood master cylinder.

Custom hand-tooled leather interior by renowned western artist Cody Hixon.
(Combination leather and comfortweave seating surface bench seat for the best of both worlds.) If the future owner wishes to customize the interior with their own family name, Cody will oblige)
Rare 1956 factory accessories: front tow hooks (impossible to find), flying bird hood ornament, passenger side spotlight, seatbelts w/retainers (all present in the 1956 Ford Truck accessories catalog).
The genuine mid-50’s hula girl on the dash and period correct cowgirl suicide knob are negotiable.
