Twin-Procharged 1956 Ford F-100 Muscle Truck Looks Mean, Sounds Even Meaner

Ford made a name for itself in the 1940s with the introduction of the F-Series, then known as the Bonus Built. The second generation in half-ton rating changed its name from F-1 to F-100, and the custom-built muscle truck we’re going to talk about today is exactly one of those. Well, not quite exactly…

The Blue Oval offered anything from a straight-six to the Lincoln Y-block V8 from the 1953 to 1956 model years, topping 300 horsepower in the latter’s case. The F-100 in the following video and photo gallery, however, features 5.0 liters of V8 rumble, a DOHC valvetrain, and two ProCharger superchargers.

Offered for the princely price of $152,900 by Garage Kept Motors, chassis number F10V6R15426 here sweetens the deal with an 8.8-inch rear differential from Ford as well as a four-speed automatic transmission. Power disc brakes on all four corners are concealed by the American Racing wheels with the same polished finish as the ProChargers hiding under the pickup’s hood.

Speaking about the hood, the owner fitted a motorized hydraulic system as you may find in those wild SEMA Show builds we see every year or so. Air suspension, a stainless-steel exhaust with Edelbrock mufflers, anti-roll bars for both axles, and door handles from a 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix are also included.

As for the bed, opening the shaved tailgate reveals solid oak floor panels and custom-built inner wheel wells finished in the metallic silver paint of the body. The interior isn’t exactly on the same level as the exterior, however, because the dashboard looks outdated even for a restomod. The purple-and-black upholstery also raises one’s eyebrows considering the truck’s exterior color, but still, the seats are electric and heated too while the steering wheel tilts to suit the driver’s stature.

Garage Kept Motors further mentions power mirrors and windows, climate control, Kicker audio components, custom door panels, as well as hidden cargo compartments. On that note, we’d also know to like how many horsepower and pound-feet of torque the twin-procharged V8 develops.

For reference, the Coyote 5.0 in the current generation of the Mustang GT with a single ProCharger adds 200 RWHP with a modest amount boost.
