My dad bought this 1956 Ford F-100 from the original owner in 1973. Two months after he bought it, the original owner wanted to buy it back, and dad said, “No.” In 1976, dad put a camper on the back and we took a family vacation with the five of us, my parents, my two sisters and me.

Dad used it as a daily driver all the way up to 1994. At that point I started on the body work. Little by little, we worked on it. We had it finished in 2003.
