The two-tone light and dark green paint sets the truck apart from others. Yellow striping helps keep the two greens from blending into each other, plus it customizes the truck’s appearance further. The bed features immaculate oak slats with a nice, even finish. Fresh chrome on the grille, windshield surround, etc. and Cragar wheels, plus all the trim pieces in excellent shape help bring everything together. With a nice polish, this truck absolutely shimmers in the light, making it great to show off anywhere. All the body panels are in good condition, plus the undercarriage is absolutely beautiful, which isn’t easy to find with a truck this age.

The interior has a vintage look, despite housing some nice upgrades which were artfully crafted to look original. One is the Retrosound digital radio, so you don’t need to deal with static and channel hunting while listening to some tunes. Fresh gray upholstery for the bench seat and door panels pairs well with dark gray vinyl. The original dash has been painted the same light green on the exterior.

While the Ford V8 under the hood appears to be the original engine, the seller hasn’t specified that it is. Hooker headers allow the engine to breathe out more freely. Another strategic upgrade to the truck is four-wheel power disc brakes, greatly improving stopping and handling performance.

The Ford F-Series has been a popular pickup truck in the United States. With World War II over, Ford was able to use resources for redesigning the lineup starting with the 1953 model year. Among the changes was a longer wheelbase, obvious cosmetic changes, and a front suspension set back to improve handling. Even more changes launched for 1956, including a Full Wrap windshield, electric wipers, and a Lifeguard Steering Wheel. Adrenalin Motors is offering this truck for sale.
