This Classic Hauler Has The Amenities Of A New Truck (http://www.highperformancestangs.com/featuredvehicles/mdmp_0910_1956_ford_f100_truck/index.html)Jerry and Pat Wallace of Tucson, Arizona, are the proud owners of this '56 F-100 pickup. Not only is the truck a rare surviving example of the classic F-100 body style, it's also a platform for many contemporary features. Jerry is an old hand at the Ford game and he recently restored a '68 Mustang convertible. When that car was sold to a Mustang enthusiast in New Zealand, he had the chance to acquire this F-100. He was interested in a truck that offered vintage appeal but also wanted to create a vehicle that would offer most of the amenities of a modern pickup truck. Jerry wasn't interested in going down the road with a six-cylinder engine at 50 miles per hour as its top speed. The F-100 had to offer modern power, overdrive for freeway performance, and air conditioned comfort for summertime outings. The Wallace's didn't want a trailer queen, but rather a truck they could drive in comfort, whatever the weather or destination.
