I did a 56. (reply)

Back in my gearhead days, I did a 56. I liked the overhead body lip over the windshield on the 56. It was pristine gloss black, and I did yellow-to-orange-to red flames on it. It did turn some heads.:) I had a stock 272, and three on the tree, and drove it daily for several years. Unfortunately, I gave away all my car pics, and don't have one to share.

The aftermarket guys make every part you might need for it in repop, all you need is a checkbook.:) Google to gitchee a fat catalog for an outhouse wishbook. Have fun, those are the most beautimous pickups ever made by anybody.

UNNNH HUNH!... (reply)

That's a good 'un, Boge.

Back in the early '60s a guy I worked with had one like that. He had reworked it thoroughly, leaded the frame, and put a big V8 in it. That thing was rank! I rode with him a time or two on those east Tennessee mountain roads. No other pickup in the county could stay with it.

Maybe that's why you don't see 'em so often... (reply)

Boge Quinn — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 22:14:57 +0000

...with hydraulics under 'em, jumpin' up and down at red lights!

That's a nice truck (reply)

Jhenry — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 22:10:10 +0000

But those older short stepsides won't fit as many migrants in the back as the late 60's trucks.

That's a '56 F100 - I could have gotten it... (reply)

Boge Quinn — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 21:47:31 +0000

...but it had a chopped top. Not for me!

That would qualify as a deal you can't pass up! (nm) (reply)

Boge Quinn — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 21:14:51 +0000

Awwwwww, that's a cutie (reply)

And what's that lurking behind it, deep in the garage??

i know. i got my watch [ even has the papers in it , 1828 ] (reply)

cable — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 19:47:52 +0000

for $350; he really wanted to make a sale at the end of the show and had been asking 550 i recall. i could resist at that point.
when i find it again, will post pictures.
hope you are going to make that truck look the same or better than when it left the factory!
