OK, too many projects, not enough time, space, and money.
So.....up for auction is my '56 F100. Its a labor of love, time, and money. 1st off, I've owned the truck for many years, worked on it, fixed it, built it, changed it, and drove it. It's one of the cleanest bodies I've ever seen on a '56. The paint is absolutely shot, I mean PATINA galore. But the metal is very good. California truck, almost no rust. Raingutters clear, cab corners (4) clear, floors clear, fenders clear. The doors click shut with one finger! The doors, and the fenders, and hood line up very nice. Probably all original sheet metal. Judging by the fit and the finish.
Running gear: It has a very healthy, yet very streetable 350. Edelbrock 4bbl, full length tube headers, camelback (fuelie) 202 heads. Cam, intake, etc. 12 Volt alternator, GM HEI ignition. Very low miles on engine. Dual 2 1/2" pipes with 50 series Flowmasters. Electric choke. Click starts every time! Very dependable, yet healthy, and sounds good. Electric cooling fan. Manually operated, via a switch on the dash.
Built 350 automatic. Stock stall, nice shift kit, and cooler. Just solid, no hard shifts. Built to last. Same, very low miles as engine, and exhaust.
The transmission is hooked up to a balanced driveline, running to a GM factory disc brake rear-end. Running (I'm pretty sure) 3.42 posi. Don't quote me on that, but quite sure. It's set up as a 5bar. 4 bar with coilovers, and a panhard bar. The coilovers are adjustable, as well as the 4 bar setup.
Front suspension: Taken from a mid 70's Z/28 Camaro. Bigger disc brakes, quick ratio power steering, bigger sway bar, and stiffer coil springs. Its got the Hydro boost GM factory brake booster. Not a vacuum booster. This setup works better on engines with lopey cams. Also running a semi rare Tilt/telescopic column from a Cadillac. Very comfortable.
4 wheel, power disc brakes!
Old School Cragar mag wheels. Very good condition for being the original wheels, not repops. 10" and 8" x 15".
Good radial tires. It's got the big and little, down in front attitude look to it!! Get the attention, when I take it out for a spin!
All new wiring, modern fuse panel, several circuits, all clean and tidy.
Interior: Very sparce, all business, New Classic Instrument gauge set. Caddy Tilt/tele column, factory bench seat just recovered in black tuck n roll. Solid floors, new front windshield, and rubber weather stripping. Door glass is cracked, but cheap and easy to replace. I like the cracks, goes with the Rat Rod look.
So, all in all one very well built truck. Built to last, and built to be driven dependably. It is solid.
Needs: my opinion, yours may be different. carpeting, insulation, bed floor, door weatherstripping, door glass, paint, headliner, etc. etc.
Starts, runs, drives, shifts, and stops very well. The bedwood is missing. Again, kits are available, and fairly cheap. I was just going to run plywood, stain it and put the metal strips over the top. But, never got to it, so you can do it the way you want.
Check my other auction. I'm also selling my '67 El Camino, Chip Foose theme (black/red) 327, 4spd. bad!!
If you have any questions, just send me a message through e-bay, and I'll get back to you asap. Ask before you bid, no surprises. And please, don't bid if you don't have the money, haven't told your wife, no way to ship it. etc. etc. Let's not waste each others time with that stuff. Truck is located in Chico, CA 95973. I can, and will assist with loading it on to a transporter of your choosing, and cost.

Ford rakes in record $2.5b profit during Q1 of 2016
Thu, Apr 28 2016Fears that the auto industry is due for a downturn may be fading. Ford posted record profits in the first quarter of 2016, the company announced Thursday. Chief financial officer Bob Shanks said Ford enjoyed its best quarterly performance in history, generating operating profits of $3.8 billion and a record profit margin of 9.8 percent. Overall, the company's $2.5 billion profit in the quarter more than doubled from the 2015 quarterly results. "The first quarter was an absolutely terrific start to the year, an all-time record for the company, with very strong performance across the business," said chief executive officer Mark Fields. "We're excited about our future and confident in our ability to deliver long-term growth and profitability as we expand our business model to be both an auto and a mobility company." During the quarter, Ford announced the creation of Ford Smart Mobility, a new subsidiary that would vet future mobility projects in the realm of car-sharing, fractional ownership and autonomous deployment. The company also kicked off a billion-dollar makeover of its Dearborn, Michigan campus and headquarters. The company's after-tax earnings of $0.68 per share trumped Wall Street's expectations, and were significantly up from $0.39 per share a year ago. The results were buoyed by the company's fourth consecutive quarter of growth in Europe, which comes after a long period of stagnant sales. Ford's earnings results come amid reports that April car sales are on pace to jump 4 percent year over year, which would make it the best-selling April in history. Kelley Blue Book projects that car sales will reach 1.51 million this month, placing the industry on track for 17.5 million vehicles sold in 2016. Even as SUV and crossover sales drive the market, analysts say Nissan and Honda are positioned to benefit from renewed interest in mid-size cars. "Following a disappointing March, we expect sales to get back on track in April with SAAR in the mid-17 million range," said Tim Fleming, analyst for Kelley Blue Book. "Increased fleet sales and rising incentive spending among automakers remain the factors to watch, but the retail demand appears to be holding steady, signaling the industry's strong run isn't over quite yet."

Does the new 2015 Ford Mustang have a burnout control system?
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Whether it's lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring or automatic emergency braking, most of the electronic systems we see emerging on new vehicles focus on safety. But there are some there just for enthusiasts. We're talking about systems like automatic throttle blipping for perfect downshifts, or launch control to get that textbook acceleration from a standstill. But the latest system could prove just the opposite of the latter.
Although it has given us most of the details, Ford is still keeping certain elements of its new Mustang secret. But emerging reports may have the skinny on one system which Ford is trying is darnedest to keep under its hat for the time being. That, according to unnamed sources cited by Motor Authority, is burnout control.
The system is reportedly designed to help novices execute the perfect smokey burnout - sort of like launch control, but specifically the opposite. The system could, according to elaborative speculation, lock the front brakes while spooling up the engine to optimal revolutions before dumping (or indicating the driver to do dump) the clutch. A cloud of tire smoke and a long pair of skid marks would then ensue.
Need for Speed movie casts Mustang in hero car role
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Dreamworks Studios, Electronic Arts and Ford Motor Company announced today that the Ford Mustang will play the lead hero car role in the upcoming Need for Speed movie, slated to hit theaters next February. Of course, the Mustang didn't audition for the role like we imagine the film's star, Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame, might have. Rather, Ford and Dreamworks struck a partnership deal that meant the Mustang could skip the casting couch. The deal will also see the film's universe populated with other Ford products (gratuitously so, we're guessing), and the automaker will also help the studio promote the video-game-turned-movie next year.
The hero car in question is a special one-off Mustang created by Ford that is making its debut at the E3 video game trade show as we speak. Powered by a supercharged V8 and apparently based on the Shelby GT500, the car's been modified with a widebody kit, 22-inch wheels, larger air intakes and twin hood nostrils. Ford also provided the film's production with an F-450 truck that will be called "The Beast" in the film's story, and a second Mustang to be used during filming as a camera car.
The Mustang's movie career is really taking off, with news of its Need For Speed casting closely following last week's release of the trailer for Getaway, a movie coming out in August that stars Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez and another Shelby GT500. In addition to Aaron Paul and a modified Mustang, the Need For Speed movie also stars Michael Keaton (cop, we're guessing) and Dominic Cooper (villain, we're guessing), and is directed by Scott Waugh, who directed the Navy SEAL film Act of Valor in 2012.
