1956 Ford F100 "Effie" Hotrod, Ratrod, Streetrod, Classic, Project, Cruiser

You are looking at a way cool 1956 Ford F100 "Effie". This truck is very fun to drive and drive it I do. I bought it not long ago to have something to drive while I work on my 1950 Austin Devon Streetrod. But now the cash I need to finish my Austin is tied up in this truck. I was fine with that in the begining. but now. not so much. If it doesn't sell. my busy time this spring will generate the needed revenues to finish the Austin. but I'd just as soon finish the Austin over the winter instead of next summer.

This truck has the Volare front and rear. disc and drum (I will still get someone asking that which I just answered). they are power brakes. It has a Chevy 350/350 combo as well. It runs cool and runs very good. Stops as it should and takes off with gusto. but I'm a cruiser so it hasn't been abused. I didn't build it and have done very little since buying it. I added peep mirrors. the babymoons. and a little red paint here and there. The rockers are solid (see pics). the bed is excellent (see pics). the body is well. cool (see pics). All the lights. turn signals. brake. high and low beams work. The heater is very good. so drive to the late season stuff in comfort. The gas tank has not been moved. I would do that eventually for more cab room. It has some gauges in it but they are hard to read. No gas gauge. and no speedo cable (I use my GPS for speed). No wipers (Rain-X) and the ciggy but lighter works. It has tilt wheel. am/fm CD. and you see that odd green running board. it doesn't really go on this year truck. BUT I have the correct one in great shape to replace it. Questions? Seven-Six-Five. Nine-Nine-Four. Zero-Four-Eight-One Text or Call. after 6pm EST.

Tires are in excellent condition. all glass intact and great except for a small crack in drivers vent glass. It is what it is. a cool truck that you can drive. do some rattle can paint trick to. of use it for the base for some high dollar trophy hunting "look at me" thangy. Whatever floats thou boat. Thanks for checking out my listing. I'm on the Indiana/Ohio line about and hour north of Cincinnati. come check it out if you'd like. Thanks again. John

Sorry. I can't use any trades. and no I didn't do a "But it now" because that's when they get cha $$$. Phone number is above or shoot me an email thru the "Send Seller a Message". Auction could end early and you know why. don't you.

PS. If you are as frustrated about eBay's new search mode in eBay Motors as much as I do. scroll down on your home screen and hit "share your thoughts" (or whatever it says). what a feaking joke!!!! You should NEVER let anyone who doesn't acually use your product DESIGN it!!!! Clearly these compu-file yeahoos only shop for specific iPhones and not cars. unless it a ^%$$ Prius.

I had a question from a watcher/looker/potential bidder that took the time to read the description and look carefully at the pics. he asked about power steering. YES. it does have power steering. Great question. my oversight for leaving it out.

I have had several inquiries about trades. and while I have stated I can't use any trades on this vehicle. I can't blame anyone for asking. it's only a question. so I don't get excited. Upon further thought. there is actually ONE trade that I could consider. This sale really is about getting my 1950 Austin roadworthy. so I'll spell out a potential win/win for perhaps a few of you. If you have the place. ability and time. I could consider working with you to do some of the work needed on my Austin in trade for working down the price of the truck. I have limited skills. limited garage readiness (no 220V) and limited funds. So. you should be reasonably close to where I live. it will require some parts (we can discuss recycled). and we would need a solid written agreement with a completion date. My Austin already has the Fatman IFS Stage II welded in. there is NO bodywork to do (other than installing a firewall. front floor and trans tunnel). The 10 bolt GM rear is being narrowed now. nbsp;so you would be responsible for a few new items and the labor. So if you're a new Hotrod shop or whatever and partial trading makes more sense for you. we should talk. My truck would make you a great shop truck and advertising piece. Let me know if this speaks to you. Thanks-John
