The Appeal

The Ford F100 is one of the most recognisable American pickups ever produced. The 1956 model sits within the second generation of Ford's celebrated F-Series, distinguished by its wraparound windscreen and clean, purposeful lines. With a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic, well-sorted examples are increasingly sought after in the UK classic scene, and make for incredibly popular custom opportunities, too.

This particular F100 has been subjected to a comprehensive ground-up restoration and restomod into a particularly imposing pick-up. The 5.7-litre V8 engine and three-speed semi-automatic gearbox have both been rebuilt, as has the chassis. A new hand-built rear section has been fabricated and fitted, and the body has been resprayed in black, complemented by hand-painted artwork by Ball Mike for Left for Dead Guitars, which is reportedly removable. Underneath, the truck rides on a new independent air-ride suspension setup, and a custom exhaust, fuel tank, rear lifter, and lighting have all been installed.

Inside, the dash, bench seat, and mats have been renewed, and the cabin is fully insulated. Modern conveniences include electric windows, electric doors, and a Bluetooth sound system with subwoofer. The vendor describes the truck as fantastic to drive, with plenty of power and torque. Now on UK plates and MOT exempt, this F100 is ready and raring to go with its lucky new keeper - an impressive example indeed.
