1956 Ford F-100 Saleen Truck Freshly Restored Classic Wide Window

Freshly built this truck has had several modifications done to it to enhance the natural beauty of the Ford design team.   It has 3" wider rear fenders. custom full length and deeper running boards molded to the rear and front fenders.   All body seams welded all emblems shaved. Windshield wiper drive stems accented with billet aluminum covers. powder coated door pulls and engine components. premium foil backed Dynamat sound deadner applied every where in the cab area (you can talk on the cell phone while driving 70mph down the freeway and hear the phone very well).   Upholstery done by Frankie Martinez @ legendary Kool kustoms yuba city ca. Interior headliner is Mercedes black. the lower dash is vinyl covered for the high tech look.   Vintage air-conditioner and heater. have had trouble  with leaks in the air conditioner -- have not had that issue resolved. but the heat and exhaust run fine.   100 lbs of Dynamat was used on every surface accessible. both on the inside and the outer shell of the doors.   Second Skin spray on mineral dampening compound sprayed under the entire cab and dash to reduce the tin can sound of an old truck.   The truck is exceptionally quiet going down the road. except the for the exhaust system.   See the video for a sound bite of the truck take off.   The muffler system was also taken from the Saleen Mustang and has an X pipe and the Saleen tuned stainless mufflers.
THE SOUND OF THE TRUCK IS ENTIRELY AWESOME.  
4. 6 liter Modular Motor with 60. 00 miles on it -- A Trickflow all metal intake manifold was installed and a Fran Low Restriction serviceable air filter.   

The most impressive feature of the Truck is the eye catching Pie Cut on the hood.  

 With a whole 2. 75 inchs taken out of the hood the downward angle of the entire front end is true to Hot Rod form and greatly enhances the downward slope of the Hot Rod.   This is a $6. 00 endeavor -- see photos.   The stock rib was also removed going down the center of the hood.   Under the hood. firewall. the inner fender wells. the inside of the fenders and under the cab were all coated with Armacoating to reduce road noise from permeating from the cab and reduce rock chip damage.   The front and rear bumpers were removed and an inner bumper was fabricated behind the rear sheet metal to protect against impact to the gas tank.   Paint done by Hector Ramirez. Chico. CA.   Entire truck is paint. no pin striping.   The three color paint goes behind the cab. around the bed and even into the engine department.   No cost was spared on body work and paint.   Three clear coats. buffed and cut.   All glass is new. tinted on the sides and back.   This is a custom cab but has all the trim shaven.   The bed is by Pro's Pick made in Canada and has been tubbed for even wider tires if you so desire.   The entire bed has been Armacoated.   LED brake lights by Lokar. front headlights are German made Bosch.   

*Flaming river tilt wheel steering column coupled to a rack and pinion non power steering system -- please note this does not have power steering -- not much of an issue -- a little extra effort to steer while you are moving slowly.

* Four wheel hydraulic disc brakes with vacuum assisted power brake booster supplied by TCI (Total Cost Involved)

* TCI independent Mustang II type front suspension system. all stainless steel.   Slotted and drilled rotors by Willwood -- front only. stock Mustang disc brakes in the rear.

* 4-link suspension kit also made by TCI. half stainless steel. half satin black.   Truck does not have an emergency brake.  

*  Truck is super smooth going down the road. drives like a car.   No roll at all when you are cornering.

*  The truck has clear title and is currently registered in California -- it is registered as a 1955 but it is a 1956 -- DMV error.

THIS TRUCK IS A REAL EYE CATCHER!!

One of the first trucks with this paint scheme and was a hit at the shows we attended.    If you were to hire someone to build this truck it would cost $125k.    This hot rod isn't perfect but it is spectacular as the photos show. there is one small impression on the paint below the passenger door handle.   There are some paint issues on driver's side rear stake pocket at the bottom.

If you are like everyone else. you will be OVERWHELMED by the build of the truck.

 I've received some questions and I am posting them with the answers.

Q.   Do you clear pictures of the small dent on the passenger side door and the paint issue on the bed you mentioned?
1. In the next day or so. I will post more photos of the side door "impression" and the the paint issue on the bed.
Q. Is there a reason you did not add an E-brake?
2. No E-brake was added as there is no floor space due to the bench seat.
Q. Your truck has no power steering. Is there roon in the engine compartment to add a pwr steering pump? or did you just did not want P. S. ?
3. I didn't want power steering. but there is room to add it if you'd like
Q. What size fuel cell do you have under the bed?
4. The biggest fuel cell available by Rock Valley is under the bed. I think it is 21 gallons
Q. I noticed one key lock on the passenger door. but not the driver. May I ask why?
5. The key locks are just the way they came. they are not functional. just cosmetic.
Q. Are you using a metal sheet for the bed of the truck?
6. The bed is metal over plywood
Q. Is there a sound system in the truck?
7. There is no sound system
Q. Does the AC need to be fixed or replaced the stop the leak?
8. The A/C needs new A/C lines as it losses the charge over time.
Q. Are there any other issues with the truck you have not mention?
9. There are no other things that I can think of adding.

With over 28. 00 miles on it we have discovered and fixed the little issues that sometimes come up. I have a friend who is going to shoot tonight an HD video of the truck and plan to post it either tomorrow evening or Thursday morning.
