hile the ’56 F-100 is without a doubt Ford’s most iconic and recognizable “classic truck” in—and outside of—the Blue Oval world, the third generation of F-Series trucks, the ’57-60 era of refrigerator models, is where Ford Motor Company really started experimenting with more modern design elements.

Gone were the individual front fenders and angular hood in favor of a more stylized, integrated front sheetmetal group—a more “square body” design, if you will (no offense to the devout GM readers!). Following in the footsteps of their competitors, that frontal makeover was impacted even more so with the introduction of the new-for-1957 Styleside bed, ultimately giving third-gen Effies their “fridge” nickname.

So, who did they ultimately turn to for that transformation? None other than Roy Brizio Street Rods in South San Francisco, that’s who! So, it pretty much goes without saying, the ’58 got the full Brizio treatment, if you couldn’t already tell by the accompanying images. But you can’t fully appreciate the amount of work and attention to detail that went into the Meyers F-100 until you’ve seen it in person—which we did, this past February at the Grand National Roadster Show … it’s all that, and more!
