The second generation of the Ford F-Series is a series of trucks that was produced by Ford from the 1953 to 1956 model years. Marketed as the "Triple Economy" series, the second-generation F-Series again encompassed a comprehensive range of vehicles, ranging from light-duty pickup trucks to heavy-duty commercial vehicles.[4][5]

This generation saw a revision to the F-Series model nomenclature, shifting from a one-digit model number to a three-digit number; F-100 to F-350. This system has remained in use on all Ford F-Series trucks to the present day. Alongside the naming change, this generation marked several firsts for the F-Series, including an adjustable seat (wide enough for three people),[6] power brakes,[7][8] and the introduction of the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission as an option. In line with Ford cars, seat belts were introduced as an option for 1956.[3]

The second-generation F-Series was produced by Ford at eleven facilities across the United States; Ford Canada marketed the model line under both the F-Series and the Mercury M-Series nameplates. Ford of Brazil inaugurated local production with the model line, producing it from 1957 to 1962.

Distinguished by a two-bar grille, the 1953 F-Series internally denoted the 50th anniversary of Ford Motor Company with a commemorative emblem on the steering wheel horn button.[9] Alongside a completely redesigned chassis and body, the engine line was in transition, carrying over the 101 hp inline-6 as the standard engine and the optional 100 hp Flathead V8.

In a one-year-only combination, the Flathead V8 was offered with the newly optional Ford-O-Matic transmission.

As part of the model change from the first generation, the model nomenclature for the F-Series was changed from a single number denoting each model series to a three-digit model number. As of current production, Ford still uses this nomenclature on its F-Series trucks today, with minor revisions (the F-100 was replaced entirely by the F-150 and medium-duty trucks now use the F-x50 designation). This nomenclature is also currently used by the Ford E-Series and (in North America) by its Ford Transit successor.

Among F-Series pickup truck lines, the 1⁄2-ton F-1 became the F-100, the F-2 and F-3 were consolidated into the 3⁄4-ton F-250, with the F-4 becoming the 1-ton F-350. The medium-duty F-5 (1+1⁄2-ton) and F-6 (2-ton) became the F-500 and F-600, respectively. The heavy-duty F-7, F-8, and F-9 "Big Job" trucks became the F-700, F-750, F-800, and F-900 series.

For 1956, lower-GVWR versions of the F-100 and the F-250 were introduced

When I was a kid my pops would take us to the dirt track at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds to watch the "roundy-rounds." Back then it was mostly non winged sprint cars. I remember going down to the north end of the grandstand and you could look over the side right into the pits. There were so many different car hauler setups like this model and I liked looking at those rigs as much as I did the race cars. I remember you could tell what the drivers did for a living by looking at their trucks. Plumbers, carpenters, electricians, dirt moving guys and concrete men. I loved this era because a man could earn enough to raise a family with a mom at home and still be able to have enough money to go racing on Friday night.

My Uncle had a 53 Ford flathead Farm truck and hauled hay and pulled a horse trailer too. He liked it so much he bought my Aunt a 54 Mercury Monterey 3 row seating woody wagon flathead. She drove us to Rushmore, the Pacific Ocean and Chicago in that wagon (4 adults and 4 kids. I dig the weathering on this. His looked that way in 56, he used it so much. Thanks for another fun build, Chris!

That Ford truck and trailer sure stood the test of time prety well for its vintage... I remember building this as one of my first kits when I was like 5, as the "Diamond in the Rough" kit with the beat-up Ford Tudor Deluxe. Of course I ruined it, as I was so young, but was the kit that captivated me the most, and left a mark. I kept dreaming about getting that kit again growing up, until I bought a sealed one around 2013 for like 40$ CAD. I think that kit conditioned me at a young age to buy hoopties, or "diamonds in the rough" to fix them up! And guess what? It worked!!!😅

Great job on the kit. The weathering job you did. That what a service truck would have looked like. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[danielkemp]

Just bought this kit today. Looking forward to building it soon. Watching the video of how it's going to be. Great video and review, keep up the great work. Have a nice day.

[timescriva]

Great video,
I built this kit in the 70's as a stand alone- no trailer just the pickup & all the same parts. I used the hemi, chopped the top & front clip to make it ip forward. It was a themed push- truck from circle track in the 60'

[kArL-ijhz]

That weathering looks great! and the attention to detail is impeccable! Please do more weathering videos like this!

This is awesome I’m in the USA on Vacation for the 1st time in 9 years and this along with a few other kits is in my luggage for the trip back home.

Hobby Lobby 40% off means I saved hundreds of £/$ on what these would cost me back home and that’s assuming I could source them

Awesome build again Chris and can’t wait to get mine onto the bench

[davidhinkson]

I always enjoy these weathered vehicle projects and the themes you come up with as you build them. Most of the Gulf liveried builds I see tend to be in pristine condition so it's nice to see one that's worked hard and a bit worse for wear.

[Roadworn]

What an amazing video! I love the patina techniques used here. Getting back into the hobby and wanting to produce models with a higher level of detail than i did as a 12 year old kid. 😊 This kit is next up for me. Thank you so much for making these.

[reggiedennison]

Great job Chris. I made this kit ages ago, when it was "Diamond in the Rough". It was molded in light blue. I still have it after all these years. The only difference between the two kits is that instead of having the panels and tire rack on the trailer, the kit included a 1940 Ford that was beat up with broken glass and dented fender. I have started this kit also and it brought back so many memories. I think I will weather mine as well. This will be my 4th version of this truck plus I have the Coke version yet to build. Keep up the great work that you do. 😊😊😊

[alwynemcintyre]

Did that kit 20 or 30 years ago, still got it in it's original box in the shed. Didn't know about weathering then, so it's a shiny red spray can colour with a white bed cover and I think a brown interior and the optional engine

[raymondblanchard]

I may have used the moon hub caps dented & rusted a bit. You did a stellar job, as usual, beautifully done.

[maryfiltz]

Thanks for the build - great job of weathering on this.

[dblducecreations]

Nice build Chris! Appreciate the weathering tips!

[michaelcooke]

Very nice build. The weathering looks fantastic. Excellent attention to detail. Definitely a nice kit. I’m glad I have one in my stash. Thanks for sharing.

[richardlee]

Great job Chris!!! My son gave this kit to me for my birthday last year. It is at the top of the list to build next. This is great inspiration for my build. Thanks for the review. Nice kit Round2. 😎

[QMore-fpwn]

Beautiful work as always. I enjoy watching your vids especially when I haven’t had time to build.

[Retrospext]

I built that kit in the mid 1960's without the trailer. It had a fun door decal, Noah"s Arc Welding.

[garyjust.johnson]

Hobby Lobby should have this at 40% off next week! Great build! I will get at least one, just for all the extra parts!
