A few weeks back I was told by a friend that his neighbor in Rancho Cucamonga CA had this 56 F100 sitting under a covered canopy in his back yard and of course, being a 56 Ford enthusiast, I had to check it out. Well, comes to find out, it was a rare big window that had been there parked with a broken rear u joint since 1974!!!! And he was the original owner!!! I had to have it!! Although he was reluctant to sell, he realized he will never get around to restoring her and would like for another 56 enthusiast to get it back on the road and enjoy it...Fortunately, that enthusiast was me! Right time right place!!! Well, I bit off more then I could chew seeing I am in the middle of restoring a pro touring 56 Chevy 210 and am getting sick of pushing her in and out of the garage every weekend when I need to work on it. So with a heavy heart, I am selling Here are some details on her
They lost all their paperwork including pink slip but I ran the VIN through DMV and it does not even exist in the system. So its a clean and clear truck for re registration.
All original sheet metal in great condition(driver fender was dented and has some bondo but can easily be repaired) looks like an old 1960s repair. All original 272 V8 y Block motor with 3 speed Ford O Matic Trans and rear end.(motor is not running, told it did when he parked it but is been stripped of hoses and most fluids and has been sitting for almost 40 years). Both door glass pieces are missing but all regulators are there. back window and stainless trim in great shape. Front windshield is broken and has a hole in it. Bed wood is gone but all steel runners are there. Missing front seat, radio and heater. Has original steering column and wheel. has original visors and gauge cluster. Original radiator and shroud, original fuel tank and sending unit. The wheels and tires are not original. Have original hood hinges in the truck(they were seized up so I removed for rebuild) Original color of truck was baby blue.
There is a little cancer at cab corner on driver rear and passenger front. Not bad like a bunch of these other ones I've looked at in past. A little rust bubbling over drip rail but it will grind out and did not go all the way through( I can take pics of any rust concerns and email over if you need them the worst one is the one I posted). Roof is awesome, running boards are nice, bed panels have some stress cracks at corners but NO rust. Tailgate is nice. Only rust on fenders is the typical where running board meets the rear fender. No rust in the doors or hood, frame in excellent condition, all stock just dirty( Its a California truck and been here its whole life so in excellent condition). Any other rust areas seen in pics are surface and comes right off. The floors are in excellent condition and very solid. Im probably making it sound way worse than it is but I want whoever that buys it to be overly surprised in a good way when they get it, not the opposite. Ive been building classics for the last 20 years as a hobby and finding trucks like this one don't come around often, especially big windows. That's why I snatched it up. I am very picky about what I buy and build and I wont buy basket cases as im not into throwing away good money after bad.
This 56 is an excellent base for a build, street rod or original....Please feel free to call me or email and I can answer any questions or send pics of anything you need to see regarding body, motor etc. Im not into misleading people and want you to be as happy as I was when I found and purchased this!!! My name is Chad and you can call me at (949)910-3510. I can take a deposit through pay pal but prefer balance to be wired or cash upon pick up. Unless you want to pay the 3% fee on PayPal. Its totally up to you.
Thanks again for looking and good luck!!!!!

Ford shares falling on news of lower-than-expected profits next year
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Ford has released projections for its 2013 profits, along with predictions of its 2014 earnings, and the news has forced the company's stock to stumble, falling over seven percent as of this writing. The Blue Oval is expecting earnings of $8.34 billion for 2013, although the bulk of that is coming largely from its North American operations, as troubles abroad continue to take a toll.
Calling 2013 an "outstanding" year, Ford expects its revenue to be up about 10 percent, thanks to gains in market share everywhere but Europe. But it's 2014 predictions that are causing stock prices to fall, as the Dearborn-based manufacturer expects pre-tax profits to fall to $7 to $8 billion, because of troubles in both Europe and South America, according to a report from Reuters. This is despite an expansion plan that will see it open an additional factory in the southern hemisphere, as well as two plants in China, all in a bid to launch 23 new or refreshed products next year.
The issues in South America aren't so much related to a fall in sales - Ford expects improved profits in Brazil and Argentina - but because of currency devaluations in Venezuela that are projected to cost it around $350 million. While that would still allow it to break even with 2013, Ford cites continued economic risks that could push losses even higher.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
