1956 Ford F100 – Wade R.

This truck was given to me on my 16th birthday in 1974 as a gift from my mom and dad. Dad purchased it from a man that he worked with for $50.00. It had a 272 engine with a 3 speed overdrive transmission in it. The linkage was bent and it would not shift. I fixed the linkage and I drove it all through High School. It was then parked for over 40 years. I built a shed to store it in while my new cars sat outside. I finished a 3-year restoration on it in October of 2023. This dream would not have been possible without the love and support of my wonderful wife and new parts and pieces from LMC Truck.
