A few weeks back I was told by a friend that his neighbor in Rancho Cucamonga CA had this 56 F100 sitting under a covered canopy in his back yard and of course, being a 56 Ford enthusiast, I had to check it out. Well, comes to find out, it was a rare big window that had been there parked with a broken rear u joint since 1974!!!! And he was the original owner!!! I had to have it!! Although he was reluctant to sell, he realized he will never get around to restoring her and would like for another 56 enthusiast to get it back on the road and enjoy it...Fortunately, that enthusiast was me! Right time right place!!! Well, I bit off more then I could chew seeing I am in the middle of restoring a pro touring 56 Chevy 210 and am getting sick of pushing her in and out of the garage every weekend when I need to work on it. So with a heavy heart, I am selling Here are some details on her
They lost all their paperwork including pink slip but I ran the VIN through DMV and it does not even exist in the system. So its a clean and clear truck for re registration.
All original sheet metal in great condition(driver fender was dented and has some bondo but can easily be repaired) looks like an old 1960s repair. All original 272 V8 y Block motor with 3 speed Ford O Matic Trans and rear end.(motor is not running, told it did when he parked it but is been stripped of hoses and most fluids and has been sitting for almost 40 years). Both door glass pieces are missing but all regulators are there. back window and stainless trim in great shape. Front windshield is broken and has a hole in it. Bed wood is gone but all steel runners are there. Missing front seat, radio and heater. Has original steering column and wheel. has original visors and gauge cluster. Original radiator and shroud, original fuel tank and sending unit. The wheels and tires are not original. Have original hood hinges in the truck(they were seized up so I removed for rebuild) Original color of truck was baby blue.
There is a little cancer at cab corner on driver rear and passenger front. Not bad like a bunch of these other ones I've looked at in past. A little rust bubbling over drip rail but it will grind out and did not go all the way through( I can take pics of any rust concerns and email over if you need them the worst one is the one I posted). Roof is awesome, running boards are nice, bed panels have some stress cracks at corners but NO rust. Tailgate is nice. Only rust on fenders is the typical where running board meets the rear fender. No rust in the doors or hood, frame in excellent condition, all stock just dirty( Its a California truck and been here its whole life so in excellent condition). Any other rust areas seen in pics are surface and comes right off. The floors are in excellent condition and very solid. Im probably making it sound way worse than it is but I want whoever that buys it to be overly surprised in a good way when they get it, not the opposite. Ive been building classics for the last 20 years as a hobby and finding trucks like this one don't come around often, especially big windows. That's why I snatched it up. I am very picky about what I buy and build and I wont buy basket cases as im not into throwing away good money after bad.
This 56 is an excellent base for a build, street rod or original....Please feel free to call me or email and I can answer any questions or send pics of anything you need to see regarding body, motor etc. Im not into misleading people and want you to be as happy as I was when I found and purchased this!!! My name is Chad and you can call me at (949)910-3510. I can take a deposit through pay pal but prefer balance to be wired or cash upon pick up. Unless you want to pay the 3% fee on PayPal. Its totally up to you.
Thanks again for looking and good luck!!!!!

Ford car-camo artist works his craft on Australia's new Falcon XR8
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Ford is among the kings of concealment when it comes to test cars. On one recent Mustang SVT mule, the automaker went to the extreme of putting baffles over the exhausts to hide how many there were. Sounds like a lot of work, right? In a new video, the Blue Oval has decided to take fans behind the scenes to show them what it takes to camouflage a prototype. In this case the subject was the recently unveiled 2014 Falcon XR8 for Australia.
Ford's prototype build coordinator Down Under has the very appropriate name of Neil Trickey, and it's his job to obfuscate the important bits of test cars to keep them out of spy shooters' camera lenses. Trickey calls his job a "dark art," and he shows off some of the tricks of his trade in the video. It turns out that the fabric we often see on mules is a type of lycra, but his team isn't above getting out a can of spray paint to conceal parts, too.
Scroll down to watch a video about a man who you probably wish could be a little worse at his job.
Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority
Sat, Jul 18 2015Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
