Sweet \u201856 Ford Truck!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since seeing Chip Foose\u2019s 1956 Ford F-100 on his television show, Overhauling, I\u2019ve dreamed of restoring one for myself. In fact, if I were going to restore any truck out there for my own, it would be this one. Chip had his painted in black and it looked like a Hot Wheels when they were finally finished putting his together. We may differ on the color choice, but there isn\u2019t any doubt that these trucks have become extremely collectible commanding big money in the automotive marketplace. Prices on the Ford F-100 range widely depending on its condition and if it\u2019s been restored. It\u2019s safe to assume if a buyer finds a running truck, that\u2019s all in one piece, they\u2019re going to be paying $20,000 minimum for the truck if they can find one in decent condition.<\/p>\n

Ford\u2019s Second Generation Truck<\/strong><\/p>\n

This model of pickup is the second generation of the famous American Ford truck. Ford introduced the second generation in 1953 and built it until 1956, before thoroughly redesigning it for 1957. The new F-100 now offered many options never seen in Ford pickups before. Ford now offered a radio, sun visor and armrest. The F-100 also had a new transmission to accompany its engine choices beginning in 1953.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s so cool about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Built for one year only, the \u201856 Ford F-100 is the hardest to find from the second generation of Ford trucks. It doesn\u2019t look like there\u2019s any shortage of uber expensive options to buy, so where does a person find a reasonably priced truck? The World Wide Web of course! Pictured in this article are a few great trucks all priced between $25,000-$40,000 dollars. After browsing the classifieds and drooling, wishing I could have the one that\u2019s $125,000, I realized there are some excellent buys out there. The sky\u2019s the limit when looking to purchase a \u201856 Ford-F-100, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to break the bank trying to get there.<\/p>\n
