The Ford F-Series was redesigned by Ford for 1953 with a more integrated look. The pickups also obtained their widely familiar names: The F-1 now became the F-100, the F-2 and F-3 now became the F-250, and the F-4 now became the 1-ton F-350. Optional interior amenities were new, including a dome light, lighter, arm rests, sun visors and a radio. On March 13, 1953, the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission became an option.
Engine types[edit]
The 1954 F-100 was the last year for the flathead engine in the US. Models in Canada, however, (Mercury M-Series), retained the flathead. 1954-55 saw the introduction of the new 239 CID overhead valve Y-block V8, dubbed "Power King." The six-cylinder engine's displacement was also increased from 215 to 223 CID and power steering was introduced as an option. In the succeeding years the 239 Y-block was replaced with the 256, 272 and 312.
Body styles[edit]
The 1956 F-100 is a one-year only body style. The 1956 F-100 is easily identified as it has vertical windshield pillars and a wrap around windshield as opposed to the sloped pillars and angled windshield of the 1953-55. The 1956 model also offered a larger wraparound back window as an option. Starting in 1956, Ford offered the very rare "Low GVWR" versions of each model. Also in 1956, seat belts became an option.

One thing I really appreciate about the way you build- aside from finishing up with a beautiful model- is you're not fussy. You have an enthusiasm which is infectious and I like that. I always look forward to your videos, Chris. Best of health, sir, from the hills of Virginia. Cork
I work for Coke in the vending division. Love all the Coke liveries. Great build!
What a great video! Very inspirational! I’m planning to do a weathered red truck hauling a Christmas tree in back. Just wish I could find even an older Ford. 1929 or so.
As kids we used an old Dodge hood for s sled.lol Built that kit as a kid. Working on the 53 AMT kit now. Love your work! Thanks
Its like one of them farm trucks, or country trucks. Looks great!
Thank you!
nice, cant wait to see the other 2 versions you build for this
This is Professional Model Building . Nice To Know Someone Cares To Take The Time To Recreate The Past . 🥇
Thanks Trevor!
I got 10 of the coca cola model car n truck kits, the flatbed and semi are hard to find, the local hobby store sells out fast! I get mine from hobby lobby when they have a 40% off sale. Great video!
Jeez, Chris, you're spoiling us! 3 shows in 1 week? WOW! Keep 'em coming brother!
Busy week, thanks for coming along!
Your stories for the models give them some life. Well done.
Thanks Jason!
While your videos are an oasis in the desert of content, this one was to 'Enjoy'. Beauty!
Thank you for sharing...
P.S. O'll be back on this one - several times
Thanks RA!
I love this Chris!! Really dig the weathered and faded paint, great idea to paint the bed a different color. Excellent build!!!
Thanks Ron!
Beautiful good old days
Thanks!
That was a good one! Not that I dont like the others. Your back stories make it fun.
Thanks Bruce!
Good looking model. Faded paint techniques conveyed the look you were going for. Now all the steering wheel needs is a ball attached to it, and it will be perfect, lol! Thank you Round2 for giving us a peak at this model kit.
Thanks Stu!
Love how you tell the story you imagin for the truck "owner"
Thanks for taking the time to leave a nice comment!
If you aren't on the hpiguys Workshop FB page, stop by and have fun!
Sweet model. Shows what a little patience and some great technique can do.
Thank you very much!
Your weathering techniques are the best
LOVE the older trucks & cars. That's when I think cars & trucks were more awesome looking! As always dude you make it an entertaining experience. Thanks again & see you next time!
Thanks a lot Jeff!
Looks gorgeous, love the back story, it makes the kit come to life, thank you
Thank you Lance!
Love them effies, my 1:1 is satin black, and no where stock components. The detail of the model is excellent, even the steer axle is set back into the wheel opening, just like the real deal.
Thanks Bob!
an absolute gem,,great job ,love them dusty and rusty
Thanks!
Ahh.. another lazy Sunday sipping coffee and watching your videos. Thanks for the fun build.
Thanks GD!
I built a lot of these kits starting in the early 60's when I was a kid. I built a few of these 53's and I don't remember the hood fitting so well. I had to massage it a bit. I just built a kit that was several years old and had all the goodies of the original kit. They must have worked on the molds as this kit has always been one of the staples for car modelers and must have popped thousands of kits from it over the years! I'm also a collector and builder and have a large collection of kits. I would buy one to build and one to save unopened still in the shrink wrap.
I love your building reviews, more practical and more fun. I like how you build your models. I have always used model paint in the rattle cans with good results and also use an airbrush. I tried Krylon one time and it was kind of thick so I stick with model paint. I also use my fancy airbrush with the House of Kolors model paint that I got from Walmart. They tried selling it a few years ago and it bombed so they put it on clearance and at 50% off it still didn't sell. Well, at 75% off I broke out my debit card and bought a ton of it in one ounce bottles and rattle cans in most of the colors like a lot of pearls and airbrush reducer plus the accessories like mask's for flames etc. I have added to my Tamiya and Model Master colors (I model planes & ships also). I'm in my early 70's now and have more time to model. My problem is i have so many kits I don't know which one to start next! LOL
That's a good problem to have. I'll never build all my stash and that's ok.
Nothing against airbrushes and what not, I have them and use them as well when custom work is needed.
I've always leaned towards the cheaper, faster methods of kit making. I don't build show winners, I build every day model kits that look good on a shelf at home and I love doing it. A lot.
Keep on keepin on man and thanks for coming along for the ride!
@@hpiguy You bet, I'm watching all your reviews. Thanks a bunch for some great modeling.
One of AMTs best ever kits in my opinion, fantastic build mate glad you went with a weathered truck.
Kit originally came out in 1964 and really bar a few parts hasn't changed since then.
Thanks Gary, it was fun! Looking forward to the one you are making for a friend!
Very realistic ! Nice job ! Congratulations ! 👍😊
Thanks!
this is a verry nice kit i picked up 2 of em yesterday at my local hobby lobby
Yes, it's a peach.
@@hpiguy yes sir they are nice going to do a patina on mine
What a cool old truck.
It is!
Very Nice SIR You Have Great Video's
Looks great. You did awesome as usual. This is such a nice kit, then throw in all the accessories! Wow!
you are the man when it comes to the weathering ,,, great build sir . love the model ,,
Thank you Joe!
AMT sure is doing a better job on their new models. Great build again.
Thanks Sam!
Really like this one. Always a blast watching what you do with your kits. Always a easant channel to watch. Great build!
From one comment,to the next thanks for showing, your awesome weathering skills. I really enjoyed this video. Now I'm going drink a refreshing cool bottle of Coke.
Thanks for watching!
Like what you did with it came out Fantastic
Thanks man!
Crusty old Truck Looks very good. I'm learning quite a bit about Models Thanks Great Videos keep up good work.
Thanks for watching!
Great build. Looks very realistic.
Thank you Andy!
Great looking kit, lots of spare parts and extras.
It is, tons of spares.
Seriously cool weathering, I think it is amazing how well you do with your builds. Keep up the great work and Rust In Peace.
Thanks Chopper!
enjoyed the build , very nice job !
Thanks for watching the review and leaving a nice comment!
Love the coke stuff - and all the wonderful tips you give on how to work on the model. Keep building. Thanks.
Thanks Mary!
you did a awsome build on this kit
Thanks Eddie!
I still like how you use regular spray paint, instead of paying $6 for a tablespoon full of model paint!
I use both, but lean towards the Rustoleum more often.
Rust-oleum is where it's at.
Cool kit.. and a very nice build! I like the simplicity of what you do.. and the great results that you get with it.
Thanks Hisham!
Another gem Chris. I would order the aftermarket work truck decal sheet that roundup offers. Loving the back stories you make up as well.....lol
Thanks Dean!
I like the weathering and but I would have made some straps to tie the coke machine down with ...... If not it would fall off the truck that’s just me ....... I like watching how you weather things it help on my stuff thank you for sharing
thanks for the wonderful and informative video my Dad had one of these full stock flathead ford f100, yea a weather up green one this was back at the end of the '70s into the '80s, when he was done with it my brother cut it up..... that was sad. yep I just bought the amt model.... gotta order some snow tires for the rear, should be lots of fun
Very cool!
great job Chris . I have the other 3 in 1, 53' ford kit that came out late last year , my son picked it up for me . lots of spare parts left for sure . loved building mine for ford truck month this past January .
Thanks! It's a nice kit, my first time building it.
I Never get Bored With Your Cooolll Reviews and Awesome Results Chris,,,,, Yes Another Dirty Beauty LOL, have a Blessed wknd Brother.
Thank you Gary, always!
My dad had that truck back in the late 90s early 2000s. The diecast Coke machine was painted from the factory. But he built it stock and used the coke machine and decals on a diecast model kit.
I just picked up the AMT Cobra Racing Team kit which includes this truck. Am psyched to build it and your video gave me some great pointers! Thanks!
Great, thanks!
Lots of good parts,
Yup!
I didn’t think early trucks came with the scissor lift Jack’s.Excellent job on that color of the bed,makes it look really old.
Thanks for watching!
lol ... was just looking at this model to customize into Fred Sanfords junk trunk . a gift for a friend
Sweet build. I'm not too fond of weathering, but seeing your builds, I'm thinking of trying it at one point.
Thanks!
Dude, that is gorgeous. Awesome job
Thanks Adam!
nice detail
Thank you!
I would have loved to see one or both bumpers bent a bit. Just one end would add so much.
Great build!
Thanks, sounds like a cool idea for your build!
Great job. A little surface rust on the roof, hood, and fenders and it would look like it came straight out of south Georgia in the 1990's.
Thanks man!
My trophy issue version didnt have the mesh grill. I'm building mine full kustom lake pipes and wide whites. Mine had white walls but were skinny ones. The custom rear fenders do require a bit of extra work cause they lack locating pins vs the stock ones. Still a very cool kit. Has a spare hemi in it..
Nice build a good game
Thanks Jeff!
Great job you done yet again. Looks sweet with the fading and dusting. Looks like you got a fleet of coke trucks soon.
Thanks Tom, yeah, I think three now and more coming.
Very cool build, as always nicely done. I "bashed" my '53 F100 with a Ferrari Enzo kit...lots of work but totally worth it. Yours is a great example of using only the standard kit & ending up with something very unique & realistic looking. Love your videos!
Thanks Tomm!
Well done sir.... great level of distressed look.... build on 👍
Thanks Doozer!
Looks great! Love the weathering.
Thank you!
Very Good Work
Thank you! Cheers!
This is a reissue of the first glue together model kit my dad bought me when I was about 9 yrs old. Mine was the high stepper ford. We painted it black with red exterior...great father son project. Truck ended up getting wrecked so I buy a new reissue. But it lacks the mesh grille.
Thanks for taking time to watch and comment!

Thank you Mario!
Best weathering yet.
Thanks Craig!
different way to do the build but I think it looks real good, thanks for the review and build
Thanks Craig!
Saludos cordiales desde Argentina
I love the detail on this truck. This and the Revell/Monogram 55 Ford Pickup are awesome kits.
Very nice job!
Thanks Ron!
@@hpiguy Chris, you are inspiring me to get back into modeling and already I have learned so much from your videos. Keep up the great work!
Great job nothing but praise!!!
Thanks Joaquin!
I bought the Gulf 53 F100 pick up by Amp that came with every thing you nave but the coke machine and the dolly Also came with a car hauler trailer
The door panels are created by what is called a "slide core" in the mold. When the mold closes, blocks on the stationary side of the mold push the slide cores forward leaving the panel impression. The pattern is tooled on the face of the slide core. The cores open and close with the mold (open to eject the part). Beautiful model!
Thanks!
Good looking build Chris nice work.
Thanks Woody!
Another outstanding build-up , *Chris* !
This ol' AMT '53 F-100 is one of my all-time favourite kits ---- its extra parts are worth the purchase alone !
Even though I have the 'Retro' release ( original box art release [ c.1962 ] from a few years ago ) , I may just have to get one of these Coke versions ; that vintage soda machine is sweet !
I think that the next one of these that I build , I'll customise it with the kit's grilles (one that looks like a '60 Starliner) and 'borrow' the engine from either the '60 Starliner ( which includes two complete engines ) or maybe the Pontiac OHC 6 from the MPC '69 Firebird .
Keep 'em coming , *Chris* ! I enjoy your videos quite a bit .
Thanks for watching John!
Great job Chris. Looks awesome
Thanks Charlie!
Hey delivery man. Take it easy 'round them corners! HA! HA! 😂
Shakin up my cans!
Awesome Chris that turned out amazing!! Hey if you want to do a super clean Coke vehicle!?!! And get a perfect Coke color! Rust-Oleum strawberry Fields!! That is a perfect Coca-Cola color it's so perfect the red on the details blend in!!
It may be a bit light for a gloss coat, for gloss and factory fresh I'd use Apple Red from Rustoleum, but either color will look good in the end.
Awesome video Chris. Love what you did with the kit, will definitely grab one of these
Thanks Dale!
another great model build.
Thanks!
Nice review and build Chris!...Bill
Thank you Bill!
Looks awesome Chris!! Great job bud, thanks for the review and build 👍👍
Thank you Whitey!
I have this truck that I got this year but it was only the welding model service truck found it at hobby lobby for $15 I thought that was a good buy
as always great job.
I'm sill scared to weather my kits,you make it look so easy
Thanks Roger!
A weathered paint job is WAY easier than a factory gloss job.
Roger its easy to weather a model ive did it to many times to count
Chris its the same 53 amt kit Thats all ready out i had one but i sold mine i had but kinda like that coke truck . u did a sweet job on that
Thanks for watching!
The one 53 ford f100 thats goldess or yellow color thats on the box with that funny looking grill
Looks great good job love your work
Thank you!
Just beautiful! Great job!
Thanks!
Two sets of rear fenders. The custom rear fenders are early-60's GM fenders.
Good work and nice model!👍
Thanks Mig!
@@hpiguy
You're welcome, and thank you for the nice videos!
Beautifully done🔥🔥‼️
Thanks!
Excellent work there mate, I do like the older American pick-up trucks, what next on the desk?
Currently I'm putting the finishing touches on the 50th Anniversary Moon Landing diorama, but there are funny cars, tow trucks and more on the way soon!
amazing job
Thanks Eric!
Builds always nice 🔥🔥🔥🔥
