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...

If it were me, I would do the suspension and brakes first to get it up to 1970’s standards which are far better than mid fifties. Then work on the driveline. Figure out a motor and trans. If you want something with good suspension and easy maint get a crown Vic front subframe. This will get you everything you need and allow you to bolt in a newer SOHC 4.6 or 5.4. There have actually been a few that have taken a crown Vic chassis, shortened it and put the F100 body on it with custom mounts. It looked like a vintage Ford pickup on the outside but had a modern chassis underneath.
Here is just one video on it. If you search you’ll find some very in depth videos on what is needed!
F100/panther build.
