Ford made crew cabs for the Fire trucks as early as '54 at their Rouge plant near Dearborn and the Dearborn Fire Dept(s) used them also. Got to be pretty rare and desireable. Good score!

 

I saw a 1956 F100 crewcab in Pagosa Springs, CO back in 2000. Didn't know they even existed but my Dad said he'd seen them used by railroad crews in South Dakota in the 50s & 60s. I'd love to get hold of one.

 

Well this one is coming in two saturdays and its going to be for sale...

 

Is it a 3-door or 4-door ? nice score too .
"AND THE BOWTIE ROLLS ON"

 

Its a four door and its loooong i went and took a few pics, I have to cut a tree that is growing thrue the front inbetween the front bumper and the front sheet metal
Here are a few pics

 

Now that is something I have never seen. Post some more pics when you get it home. I think you would get endless attention with that thing fixed up.

 

Different for sure...I had a friend with a 53 Chevy 3 door it was a railroad truck as well...What the heck was she using it for a chicken hut?

 

When i went over there i said the same thing and they told me that no chickens are or have not been in the truck,I would love to keep it and do somthing with it but no room... This truck is a f800 big job and it is factory four door this ladys dad bought it brand new and has all do***ents...... By the way its been sitting for 33 years...

 

That Big Job is WAY cool. Looks like a ramp truck in the making without too much effort. Wonder what it was used for originally. I suspect it could tell more than a few tales.

 

Cool find !!!!could you just unbolt the front bumper?? or do you have to cut the tree....cuz thats a building behind it?

 

Im gonna cut the tree out and the other three that are in the way, Its gonna be a weekend to make it work... I cant wait to get inside and see whats in the cab...

 

Are the grill and front bumper chromed? They sure look like it. That was a SPENDY truck when it was new. Was it possibly a fire truck ch***is that never got a back body?

 

Yes chrome

 

Im thinkin i am gonna take all the sheet metal and the cab and junk the rest...

 

Grill looks like possibly '53 with the accesory teeth in it ... be real unusual on a BIG truck . Great find .

Still keen to hear what engine is in it too .


.

 

That thing looks HUGE! How are you gonne get it home? Looks too long/heavy for a trailer...

 

I would be really shocked if this was factory. Still interesting though.

 

i wouldnt dissasemble it cory, somebody is gonna want to make a car hauler out of it..probably has the tag of the coach builder somwhere on it..maybe Crown, i forget the other one that i have seen...

 

Cut it in two behind the cab and that will make it managable to haul without ruining it. Can always weld it back. Odds are anyone making a hauler out of it would put it on a later model big truck frame, though.

 

Matt my problem is i dont have a yard like you do in fact this big job wont even fit in my driveway

 

Just take the cab to your house. S**** rest of it . Might bring more money complete, but would have to have one big trailer or cut it half like RustNewYorker said. Great find though.

 

Ill figure iy out, Its coming home with me one way or another...

 

Drag it home and list it online. Someone will buy it complete. It would make a great car hauler!

 

Im working on finding a place to store it.

 

I asked this lady if i can take what parts i want and s**** it from her yard and she said yes so im gonna pull the cab front sheet metal and maybee the motor pending on what it is then im gonna get a wrecking yard to come get this bad boy.
