Description for Ford F-250 1956

1956 Ford F250 Long bed 223 ci 6cyl Mileage Maker. 3 speed manual on the column Dana 60 rear with 4. 88:1 gears Tires are new circa 2009 w/ plenty of life left. Multiply Toyo Truck tires. Engine purrs! Bought truck from friend of original owner. Have trade-in sales slip when purchased new from Ford. Truck was used to haul a 250 gal diesel tank to sites and fuel up equipment. Company name on door is real and not fake patina. People pay mega bucks to have this look. Now you can own the real McMoy. What you see is how it was many decades ago when this beast helped build America! Note pads and other letter heads w/ company name on it included w/ sale. Purchased truck in 2008. New brakes and tune up put truck on the road. Radiator is new $400 Desert Cooler. Truck runs and drives great. Hate to sell but I dont use it as much as I'd like too. I will miss this fellow and hope the new caretaker will enjoy the truck for what it is. Fires up every time! Hot. cold. even days. odd days. it doesn't care. Turn signals are manual hand out the widow currently. A hazard switch was installed when it was in service which bypassed that circuit. I have an NOS underdash harness for the truck. Engine looks to have been rebuilt prior to sitting in '84 based on rod cap stampings and fresh cross hatches in cylinder bores. I do not know anything other than that regarding who. what. & when of engine build. No noises or smoke. Body isn't bad for the age however nice original parts are included with sale should you want to restore the truck. Bedsides are decent. Cab corners have had work done while in service eons ago. Door bottoms are typical of this era however. I wouldn't alter their appearance as they help make the personality of the truck. Included with sale: Good used OE Ford fenders. long bed running boards. hood. grille & valance. Bedwood cut to this bed NOS dash wiring. bed chains and some other misc items. No its not perfect in a shinny sense although. it does however. have loads of character that a restored shinny truck simply can't provide! People of all life forms love this truck. You will get attention. Sold AS-IS. WHERE-IS with no warranties or guaranties. Propspective buyers are encouraged to look at the truck in person. Ask questions and I will do my best to honestly answer them. Additional parts included (most listed above ) with truck are over $2500 if you could find them. Optional to buyer is a 292 Engine and later Ford R89 three speed w/ R11 Overdrive unit. These parts are additional cost and not part of auction for truck.
