What good is a 56 f100.
I came across an opportunity to buy an all original 1956 f100. The present owner has owned the truck since 1957. It has seldom been stored outside and still runs very well. It was used as a farm truck...

George 3037 made some very good points and has a great looking car himself. Not being into buying/restoring older cars & trucks, but definitely love looking at them when done. Should you buy it and not sure who to contact about doing what you want to do, I'd suggest contacting someone from the Syracuse Nationals Car Show that's held each summer here in Syracuse, NY. Think their website is: Syracusenationals.com. I could be wrong, but hope George 3037 can correct me, I think this show attracts hot rod cars from all over the country incl Canada. Upwards of several thousand cars/trucks and 75,000 people attend. So my thinking is that if OP goes to the website, they can point him in right direction.
ACZL is correct about the site. I think if the OP does buy the truck and is interested in having some updates done the best thing to do is wait till spring when the car shows start up in his area and attend a few shows. Most classic car owners are very willing to help and provide info and garages that can do the work for him.
This years nationals are July 21-23. Between 8-9,000 cars will be there and over 90,000 people attend. The OP should think twice whether he wants to invest the money to convert the truck or just buy one already done. A $2K offer is a fair price for a running truck of that vintage but I've seen a lot of classics in that condition where the owners think they are worth a fortune.
