Dream Come True

I purchased this 1956 Ford F250 from a friend whose dad bought from the original owner’s son after he passed away. This truck means so much to me because I learned to drive in my father’s 1966 Ford F100. I completely restored this truck with 95% of the parts coming from LMC. I kept the original 272 y-block in it with a fresh rebuild. I did modernize the power-plant with ram horn manifolds, electronic ignition, an aluminum 4 barrel intake and valley pan with PVC port from John Mummert in California. I kept the original 3-speed on the column manual transmission in place as well as the original drum brakes.

The original owner had the wooden bed replaced with 3/16″ diamond plate steel and it was so perfectly installed that I left it. There was a tremendous amount of time went into disassembling this truck. LMC had all the bolts, replacement panels and other hardware to put the truck back together like new. Some of the parts were hard to find because there is no demand for some of the F250 parts (running boards, hood emblems,etc). A good friend of mine (DeJuane S.) installed the replacement panels and painted the truck. This guy is an amazing sheet metal worker! I am convinced if you have a frame, especially for a F100, LMC has the parts to build a truck!

Thanks LMC for the quality of the parts you provided!
