This is your opportunity to own one of the most desirable classic pickups ever produced—a genuine 1956 Ford F100 Factory Big Window model, a feature that was a rare and highly sought-after option for this final year of the iconic second-generation F-Series. Painted in Meadow Mist green (a factory color option), this F-100 stands out with its distinguishable, unique wraparound front windshield and the scarce full-wrap rear glass. This truck boasts a timeless design with its smooth lines, distinctive grille, and the highly collectible one-year-only '56 cab style.
This restomod build began as a clean, complete body truck with the factory big window custom cab 1956 F10. It was then shipped to and completed by world-renowned Murray Kustom Rods of Ft Worth, TX, with the design orders from Heath Murray to build the truck as if it were his own. Murray Kustom Rods did the following in a 350+ hour build:
Custom painted crate Blueprint 347 Stroker engine (450hp) with matching accessory Drives, balanced with a Pro Prod Harmonic Balancer, Custom Thunderbird valve covers, and Air cleaner. The aesthetic goal was to make the bulletproof Chevy engine look like a period-correct hot rod Ford engine that a wealthy kid would have put in their truck ‘back in the day’.
For the interior custom hand-tooled leather was meticulously crafted by renowned Western artist Cody Hixon. Combination leather and comfortweave seating surface bench seat for the best of both worlds. If the future owner wishes to customize the interior with their own family name, Cody will oblige.
Rare 1956 factory accessories include: front tow hooks, flying bird hood ornament, passenger side spotlight, seatbelts w/retainers (all present in the 1956 Ford Truck accessories catalog).
