Hey mate, unfortunately no, not too many dents either which is odd.
I was looking for a bump for ages, but there was nothing. Took me a while to find the truck I have now. I came close to getting a '66, but it was too rough to be used as a daily at the time.
A good friend of mine managed to pick up this '68 locally, but shortly after moved to perth and took it with him

Welcome Phil!
Im glad you're here if for no other reason then Steve needs someone who understands what he's saying. I believe he's speaking a form of english, but his outrages accent leaves most of us bewildered, often resulting in our more timid members flopping on the floor doing the land salmon, blowing nose bubbles. Not a pretty sight.

Any help in this matter will be greatly appreciated!

hahaha!
but i'm afraid I won't be of too much use, he's from Queensland, near the top of the country, I'm from South Australia, at the bottom.. it's a whole different world up there...

In saying that, I'm originally from New Zealand, been here for almost eight years and i still have trouble comprehending the locals

Welcome from Idaho! I gotta say, that Falcon is one of the coolest cars I've ever seen! So, is the Falcon sort of an Australian Torino? I don't believe I've ever seen one. Nice cars (and truck!). Glad you're with us!

Thanks F100builder

Yes, its very similar to the torino. the model before mine (XA falcon, mines XB, same shape though) was touted as the first entirely australian designed falcon, but theres a whole lot of similarities between the two. The falcon coupes seem to be a more sort of 'hunched' (for want of a better word) design than the torinos, and although I love torinos, i think the falcons look a lot tougher.. i'm biased though haha..

I also love your '56
