1953 Ford F-100 Truck
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. In line with the previous generation, the F-Series encompassed a wide range of vehicles, ranging from light-duty pickup trucks to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. In place of the previous “Bonus-Built” series, Ford now marketed its truck range as the “Triple Economy” series.
To further emphasize the model update, Ford changed the F-Series model nomenclature from a single number to three numbers; subsequently, this system has remained in use on all Ford F-Series trucks to the present day.
Under the hood 0f this 1953 Ford F-100 Truck is Ford’s 292 CID Y-Block V-8 engine, mated to a Four-speed manual transmission and backed by a 3. 92:1 rear end.
Inside, a broun bench seat looks great while the minimalist instrument panel is in good, as are in the inner door liners. A three-spoke steering wheel is in perfect shape.
The horn button on the 53 F-100 is unique and displays the anniversary year. A fresh air cab option on the 53 F-100 was available.
Alongside the naming change, this generation marked several firsts for the F-Series, including an adjustable seat (wide enough for three people), power brakes and the introduction of the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission as an option.
