We Modernised A 1950s Ford F100 | RIDICULOUS RIDES

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft Cars: goo.gl/vbKSU2
BROTHERS Mike and Jim Ring from Spring Green, Wisconsin, are two custom car building legends known as 'The Ringbrothers'. And one of their finest builds is a 1956 Ford F100 truck which took an impressive 3,000 hours to build spread over seven months, costing $85,000 in parts alone. Powering the truck is a 415-horsepower 5.0-liter Ford Coyote crate motor which is a really good fit for the 50s pickup. Whilst this vehicle has the looks of a 50s masterpiece, The Ringbrothers are known for blending old-school looks with modern technology. The 1956 Ford F100 is not short of up to date tech either - it has power brakes, electronic transmission, fuel injection, air conditioning and even a bluetooth stereo system. The multi-award-winning car customizers state that the pickup truck is the most American vehicle around, and say they are excited to see what people are doing with these trucks.

The Ring Brothers are amongst the best of the best car builders, without doubt, and this is a fine example of their craft.

[@doncarlo5]

first time I hear someone saying: „the front wheels are to far back, they need to move forward!“ I totally agree with the Ring Brothers … 100%

[@CJColvin]

Man that is one beautiful 56 F100 brother and that 5.0L Coyote V8 sure is a beast.

[@djmathos8334]

Its a peace of art. Wow !!!

[@matfave6591]

Why do you keep showing pictures of an old chevy as if it's the before pictures for this f100?

[@Gothamauto]

I guess somebody forgot to take actual "before" pictures, and the editor figured "eh, old truck, what's the difference?"

[@zacksimmons4705]

Thank you. That bothered me too.

[@santiagobenites]

That's one of the finest looking vintage truck modifications that I've ever seen! Those wheels, that color, the conveniences of modern living! Well done, Ring brothers!

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

Oh yahhh that color, what? Gray subtle green, second to black. Back in the 50's if they had that color, it was iridescent because class existed, not this hot rod fantasy people think the 1950's were. The Ringling brothers are a massacre to the American name, the real American name that our fathers formed in the 1900s to 1930s, before it was tarnished and ruined by those jumping jive imbeciles called later silent generation teens. Amongst my group if that isn't just ironic enough. 1937, wish I was born again and never witnessed a hot rod.

[@sameeralazawee7524]

WOW , very nice >>>>> Thank you .

This truck and Foose's "Overlord" '56 set the bar for these restos.

[@dieseldabz7104]

Yes 7 months is super short time to build something of this quality and craftsmanship, but when you have an entire team of folks turning wrenches around the clock and a hefty budget available it's actually fairly easy to accomplish!

@@zeropoint546 my mother's been dead since 1972, but yet I'm certain she would say that, since you couldn't provide anything the first time. Now as for those colors, that hideous nocturnal unsaturated green is ridiculous, anything can be nicer, a dark Jade, iridescent gold, Matador red, a two tone which was common 12 combinations. I think a deep blue and a light autumn greenish yellow would look so interesting and certainly neet together, don't you think you insufficient waste of a sex partner? My word, to think normal conversations could be spoken in the bright gleeming year of 2021.

[@repapeti98]

I like how it turned out but saying "An F100 like no other" is a bit much. Ok hear me out. Take any old truck. Repair it to showroom condition. Cram a huge, 600HP V8 under the hood (but only drive it at 30mph). Spend thousands of dollars on wheels, unnecessary accessories, like diamond plated rearview mirror housing, rollbar filled with mercury, LED screen in the glovebox facing the engine so it doesn't get bored, all in the name of desperately trying to prove that it's unique. But sure, you can say that there's no other truck like that.
