It’s hard not to smile at this one. A 351-powered 1956 Ford F-100 is currently listed on Bring a Trailer, and the sale includes not just the truck itself but a fully matching go-kart and trailer — a miniature tribute to the main event.
Refurbished around 2005, the truck wears a bright orange finish accented by stainless trim, a double-bar grille, and a wood-lined cargo bed. Underneath, a Plymouth Volare torsion-bar front suspension teams with rear leaf springs, Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, and power steering, giving this classic pickup modern drivability. Polished 15-inch American Racing wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra radials complete the look.
Power comes from a 351ci Cleveland V8 paired with a C6 three-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50:1 gearing. The engine bay is well-equipped, featuring an Edelbrock intake, Holley carburetor, Mallory ignition, COMP Cams camshaft, and Sanderson headers feeding a dual Flowmaster exhaust. Even the hood has been reworked to open forward.
Inside, the truck blends comfort and custom craftsmanship. Chrysler 300 bucket seats trimmed in gray leather sit beside a Pioneer CD stereo, aftermarket air conditioning, and power windows by Nu-Relics. An Ididit tilt column, VDO gauges, and a column-mounted tachometer complete the driver’s setup.
But the true showstopper might be the mini-me version—a Briggs & Stratton-powered go-kart styled after the same truck, right down to its orange paint. It comes with its own wood-floored trailer, creating a display that’s equal parts fun and functional.’
Now offered on dealer consignment in North Carolina, this F-100 is a turn-key restomod with personality to spare—and a built-in crowd-pleaser for the next show season.
This 1956 Ford F-100 comes with a matching go-kart and trailer—would you drive the truck, the kart, or both?
