Art & Inspiration We need to have a talk about the 1956 F-100

I had a 53 Canadian Merc. I installed an Olds 394, and it was one of the easiest swaps I could have asked for. I always preferred the look of the 55 or 56, because somehow the square door and the wrap around windshield seemed to make the front end less overwhelming. I never thought of moving the front axle to the center of the wheel well, It looks nicer that way.
My wife made me sell it, because she never liked the look.
I always preferred the styling of the 55-57 Chev, and have owned mine for over 52 years.

I’ll admit the front end is heavy looking on the 56 pickup, but that adds to the mystic, 56’ was the best year, as with the T-Birds and the Fairlanes and the Customlines. . Without a doubt 56 F-100 will always be historic. Nothing went wrong. IHMO.

One of the best looking trucks they ever designed.

I like them stock or mildly custom. Mine was an unmolested original, so I went back stock. Still running the 272 with three on the tree

 

I love them. Fat-fendered Ford trucks are great
