The Ford C series is a range of trucks that was assembled by Ford between 1957 and 1990. The first cab-over engine (COE) truck produced with a tilting cab by Ford, the C-series replaced the C-series COE variant of the F-series, produced since 1948. Produced as both a straight/rigid truck and a tractor, a wide range of versions of C-series was produced, ranging from Class 5 to Class 8 GVWR ratings. The C-series was also used as a basis for fire apparatus production.
Produced for 33 years nearly unchanged (with the exception of its powertrain), the C-series was the longest-produced commercial truck in North America at the time of its withdrawal; only the Mack Model R (39 years) and Kenworth W900 (59 years) have remained in production longer. In 1986, Ford began phasing in the Ford Cargo in North America, serving as its replacement after the 1990 model year.
For 1963, the C series was updated with the same cowl insignias used by the rest of the medium- and heavy-duty truck line up. The logo had the word FORD on top of a trapezoid with the model number designation. This insignia was used until 1967.[3][4] Also in 1963, Ford introduced diesel versions of the C series, as well as the N series and heavy-duty F series.[5]
1986 Ford C-800 Diesel
In 1968, federal regulations required all automotive manufacturers to add side marker reflectors or lights, which Ford was able to add to the new cowl insignia used on the F series since 1967. That same year, Ford decided to add this insignia on the doors of the C series, as well. Unlike the Ford F series, which removed them for 1973, the C series would retain them until the end of production in 1990. After 1972, the Canadian Mercury version of the C series was discontinued, becoming the last Mercury truck until the 1993 Mercury Villager.
The year 1974 was the last for the cog-and-lightning bolt crest that graced the front of the C series trucks from the beginning, and other Ford trucks since the 1950s. In the 1980s, Ford began adding its blue oval logo to all models; it was added to the C series in 1984.
In 1981, the Ford Cargo was introduced by Ford of Britain as its largest truck line. For 1986, Ford began sales of the Cargo in North America, sourcing production from Ford Brasil. While the Cargo was largely intended to replace the C-Series, the popularity of the C-Series in niche applications led to both model lines marketed concurrently through the end of the 1980s.
After 33 model years with only minor changes, the final C-Series trucks were built in 1990. In 1997, importation of the Cargo came to an end, as Ford sold the rights to the model line (alongside that of the Ford Louisville/Aeromax) to Freightliner.

The other day my payhauler dump truck came in and you weren’t kidding on all the pieces in that model. I’m almost done with that massive 350 Detroit but had some problems with the two super chargers sitting side by side in the top part of the engine so I improvised getting them in their. That’s modeling for you. Can’t wait till it’s done which is going to be a while. I’m in a nursing home and I’m building models to keep myself busy and plan to build the hostess semi truck. I had seen a model of the C900 pulling double trailers and it was a beautiful model. Love that truck cab.
That’s great that you have a hobby like ours to keep you busy.
Thanks for stopping by!
Before I retired as a firefighter we had that Ford cab style as an engine, great job once again
We had one too! Had a 3208 cat,and a Grumman Firecat body! Loved that truck,seems like it was a 1250 gpm Hale pump. Hell of a rig!
Always loved those old c cab fords yours turned out great as usual beautiful job loved the reviews on the petty mpc charger got mine today
@@tomcline5631 they were super sweet
Thanks for stopping by!
I would love to get this kit! I am the son of a trucker and myself a former trucker, and dad drove for Brown transport when I was 12 years old and drove this very same setup, with the tan tractor and the green triangle logo. I would go and help them "pedal freight", a new term for me because dad was usually just doing intrastate with a big 45 or 50 foot trailer at the time until he drove for Brown. He even had to fashion a makeshift box to put an amen/FM radio as he would call it.
Great build!!! I Wish AMT would come out with a rear load garbage truck.
Just what I was thinking, that would be awesome.
You and me both!
Nicely built beautiful work truck love those Hostess
I don't really build trucks, Chris, but I love when you build these up. I'll have to give it a try!
Thanks for stopping by!
you should give them a try it is really fun
One of Ford's most iconic truck🚛 models. For many, ugly but. I love the "C" line of Ford trucks. Congratulations the miniature of the model C900 was beautiful. It is a dream to have such a miniature.🤔👏👏👏👏👍
Thanks man!
I like your build philosophy- HAVE FUN.
That's the entire purpose of what I do. FUN. It's a hobby. Thanks!
Very rarely will I sit through a 45 minute video but that was a great build and I loved every minute of it !
Glad you enjoyed it!
You killed it brother on this build. This kit build took me back to my childhood of 70s and 80s TV shows and those summer road trips with the family. AMAZING BUILD, Thank you for sharing brother. Everyone keep yourself and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE it's suppose to be fun.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love these Licensed Trucks
"Everyone loves a big rear end" ROFL!
Bicycle races are coming your way,
So forget all your duties oh yeah!
Fat-bottomed girls they'll be riding today,
So look out for those beauties oh yeah
Darn right!
Such a realistic build - I'm going to buy some Twinkies!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love the diesel and dirt look on the fuel tank !
Thanks!
I like the subtle under carriage weathering
Thanks!
Great build!! I like that style of trucks, they were always jack knifing on "CHIPS"!
That's soo funny because as soon as I seen the truck I thought the exact same thing.
Lol...so true
Haha, yeah! Because Ponch was hitting on girls and not watching traffic! Again!
You just brought back a GREAT childhood memory. LOVED CHIPS and EMERGENCY!.
Hard to beat the Ford C900 because you can do sooooooo much with it!! 😉
Nice vid Chris!!!!!!
You got that right!
WOW, that's a lot of styrene in one box Chris! Excellent presentation and build as always!!
Thanks a bunch!
Great build Chris..i used to see these used for the "ROAD WAY" trucks back when I was a kid and also the City of Athens Tennessee where I live used to have a C600 residential garbage truck that had the diesel V8 engine and automatic transmission, brings back my childhood memories😊😊😊👍👍👍
Thanks for stopping by!
I love you attitude toward comments and building models
Thanks, it's 100% FUN here!
I love how you handle critics! WHAT A Great kit ! neat build Chris! And On Blue Danube is my all time favorite piece!
Thanks a bunch!
I really like these Hostess trucks. Liked the first one you did too. Thanks for a great build.
Glad you like them!
Great build
Thanks for stopping by!
Great build love those old c cab s
Thanks for stopping by!
That bottom step like part on the back of the trailer is called a DOT bar, short for Department Of Transportation bar/bumper
Looks like a awesome kit. Where the honey buns and ding dongs. Lol
Thanks for stopping by!
That’s one sweet model!
I do love a good Twinkie!!
Thanks for stopping by!
The model looks great! It has a used look but still looks well maintained. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching!
Ahhh, the Close Encounters build. Ideally it should be Piggly Wiggly but, somehow I seem to remember a Hostess logo. Nice kit though. All I would expect. More considering you have to construct all frame work.
Cool, thanks!
Loving this kit! I see many possibilities!
Thanks for stopping by!
Man I must say Chris u really get it done! I was wondering about that build because I don't have much luck building them old Ford truck. But seeing yours I think I will give it a shot.... Bless u my brother and keep them coming.👍😀
Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome build and the best choice in background music. What a incredible day to watch a builder do his thing. ❤️👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cmon, man!! You can't be blaming the night shift guy, for busting the mirror! How do you know it was the dayshift guy, coming off of a weekend bender?? LOL!
NICE build. Love your channel.
Always the night shift guy. Always.
When in doubt, blame the night shift guy.
:) Thanks!
Not being an American I've never seen a Twinkie or a Hostess cake in the flesh, only in the movies but the decals look great on the Trailer and the tractor cab. Another sweet build.
Delicious junk food!
Super great build once again. Mmm, mmm! Love me some Hostess Cakes, 😍. Love the way you do the details. Excellent video.
Thanks so much! 😊
Cool build!!! I just got mine in the mail, can't wait to start it now!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice job. Love it!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the old Ford C 600 trucks. I remember seeing them on the roads a lot whin I was a kid. coming out of the Dan River Mills with the short trailers. You have a good looking build there Chris.
You outdid yourself with this one . Love the cake , love the truck .
SOOOOO KOOOOOLLLL .
Glad you like it!
Love the truck models nice kit from AMT that decal sheet is amazing great job again Chris keep up the model building enjoy your channel great tips though out the builds thank you for sharing
Thanks, will do!
Put it together looked great until I went to clip the cab onto the frame... the Cab is twisted... until it got clipped into the frame it wasn't really noticeable. I think I can shim the one hinge to make up for it... Lots of cool detail be mess with too. Was a fun build other than that... I even got a working door happening with the Trailer. Even though I don't 'play' with my models either (silliest comment ever btw) I do demonstrate them to others, and if doors open, or wheels turn, people are more interested, and might even get into model building.
Another awesome build Chris! I need to grab this one!
Go for it!
Looks awesome. I love watching your vids. Especially love watching how you do the weathering. I've never done this, I want to learn.
Just got one of these
Chris+ another great job glad to see you get to this one I have that trailer in a kit 2 in the same kit for the consolidated freighways livery pub trailers I will be doing the day cab single drive axle frightliner to go with them
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice build what I like about building is you learn if you spend the time to study your subject ! The only thing missing as I can tell is a battery tray or box in any of the C900's you've built! I know you build for you as I do for me but it kills me not to see a battery or starter solenoid on a ford lol Just my hang up I'm sure maybe when I get my Diamond REO done I'll do one of the C900's but I got a hankering to do a FREIGHTSHAKER Cabover dual drive! Too many Trucks not covered by decent Model companies but what's out there is a good start !! I enjoy your videos now I think I'll have to buy a lazy Susan bearing and go ahead and build a 2ft turn table for outside displaying in the best light !!! Ha like that idea Thanks !!!
Very cool! That would make a great 60’s Nascar hauler.👍👍
That would be cool!
Been waiting for this, great work!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Matchbox used to do a boxing of that trailer way back. A double road train set.
The double kit has been reissued within the past 24 months, it can be found on Modelroundup.com
Brilliant build!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great build, I have to laugh, cause I drive a truck, and the nightshift guy, is always crashing dinging and the thing he lost was the fuel cap .A guy pulled up beside me and said you have fuel sloshing out of your truck, serious night shift guys are sleep deprived.you hit the nail on the head .
Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent review. I love the commentary.
Thank you kindly!
Yummmm! Good ol' Devil Dogs!!! Like your "working man builds Chris
Hope you enjoy!
Sooooo beautiful model I’ll get one this week cause I have learned to drive tractor truck on one of these. Great model my friend 👍
Thanks for stopping by!
My only critique is the red light on the front of the trailer, always amber in front, nice looking kit though
Everybody likes a big rear end. LMAO Great review again!!
That is so cool.
Thanks!
Thanks for this nice build 👍
No problem 👍
Awesome video! Wanted to see you put the decals on the model.
Thanks for stopping by!
Great video once again Chris, I am working on the AMT Kenworth W-925 right now and I must say the the instructions leave a lot to the imagination. Love your video's.
Yes, the old big rig kits are for folks that can work their way through a lot of guessing.
Nice one!!! You could use those smaller Twinkies decals to make a box of them to sit on the dash board or next to the drivers seat.
Empty, because who lets Twinkies just sit around for long!
Awesome build as always,really enjoy your videos keep them coming. Like alot of your tips and use them in my own model building.
Awesome, thank you!
This truck looks great. I build 18 wheeler models. I usually build ones which have a little abuse like I built one with a different color driver seat so it looks like it was replaced.
Thanks for stopping by!
That was a great build.....and the truck looks quite strange without the cab lol.
Yeah like some sort of custom tow rig
Nice build!!!!! Love the decals. Please work on that resin Dodge as soon as time allows. Thank you so much for all you do.
That's the plan!
That was a yummy build! Nice work my friend.
Not to be an old fuddy duddy or anything but I'm pretty sure the front trailer maker lights should be amber. Not that it matters anyway, as Eeyore would say.......lol
Thanks for the tips!
Ah yes, the old C-900 Ford! Haven't seen one in years. I always find it funny that the trailer is way taller than the truck itself. Hey, whatever works!
Lovely build as always Chris!
Thanks for stopping by Mark!
Great job 👍 if I had that sitting around I'd be hungry all the time lol
You and me both!
Great build mate👍
Thanks 👍
Wish Round 2 would consider repops of these delivery style trucks - straight & tractor with trailer - with other liveries = "free" promotions for range of companies - say automotive products, parts supply chains, Nestle "Candy Vans" sneakers, powwer tools etc. etc. Also, sine Rond 2 also has Lindberg molds how "twinning with Dodge L700 tractor + with longer frame rails for stake-bed or straight truck - maybe even with fire apparatus pumper body for small town fire dept.???
Looks fantastic. I love your selection of models. I like that you build the odd models out there. You gotta do the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile.
I had no idea they even have a model of that.
A long time ago when Hostess and Wonderbread used to be Continental Baking Company, I remember seeing a photo of doubles 45 or 48 ft. being pulled by a White- Freightliner tandem axle tractor. I think it was from an add for Detroit Diesel Power Parade.
Well done
Another immensely enjoyable build. I grew up on what folks called a truck route, which is a state highway as it passes through a municipality; we saw hundreds of trucks (the cab and the box all on one chassis, e.g., the Ford Louisville kit I have seen on CZcams channels discussing plastic model topics), tractor-trailer rigs, utility trucks, speciality vehicles, e.g., a crane with its boom telescoped down and folded), etc. I have a sentimental attachment to this combination here: I can recall as a boy seeing on innumerable occasions, and up close, the Ford 900 tilt cab with both it and the trailer having a single rear axle. Also, the Ford 900 as a garbage truck (I have seen a kit thereof).
BTW, am I correct that your name is Chris? I prefer the courtesy of addressing someone properly in such discussions.
I would love to see a video of all your models and where you display them
I don't display many. Most are stored or given away.
love watching you work, learned alot in a short amount of time watching you
Excellent build. Good job. Would've loved to seen one exhaust stack & air cleaner stack though!
These are out of box builds of course.
I'm sure you can add all that to your build.
Thanks!
@@hpiguy Yes i underetand, exactly. I used to be an avid model builder myself ever since about the age of 5-6yrs old. It has been a number years since my last build. I need to get set up again one of these days so i can get back into my hobby building. I build with Legos building models vehicles for the time being. Thanks for the text back. i miss this hobby so freaking much. I love "scratch building" & adding of parts & pieces. Happy modeling.
Glück Auf,
Sieht gut aus!👍
Thanks!
Nice build. I have the 1990's issue of this kit as United States Postal Service unit.
Thanks for stopping by!
Very cool! one of these trucks are for sale in my area, used to be a fire truck ! such a neat kit would be interesting if they do make a firetruck available one day
Very cool!
wow good job
Thanks!
Always been on my to build list this one , as you say amt truck mirrors are the ones I hate the most
Wish someone made a generic photoetch one piece mirror frame for trucks that we can just bend into place and attach the 'glass'.
Frist like
Nice built Chris. I remember when Roadway had these trucks. Are there part numbers on tbe parts trees? I have a few AMT kits that don't have part numbers on them. Have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Yes they are, this one has part numbers.
The same with me and the mirrors...I don't know why they can't mold them in one piece. I have built one of their trucks and waited a week to put the mirrors on! Looks good though.👌👍🇨🇦
It would be cool if someone photoetched one piece truck mirrors frames that just need to be bent into place. I'd but a set for every kit.
Hi hippie guys,, I gotta build that dodge cabover as a pro street gonna be awesome 😎
Enjoy.
BTW, it's not 'hippie'.
It's H P I Guy's
Thanks!
@@hpiguy sorry hpiguys did not mean to offend ,,, just trying to be funny ,, they can't all be winners,,, still love the video
Hey Chris. Awesome build. Those rims are called dayton rims and they call the bar on the trailer ICC bar. (Interstate commerce commission). Just some info for ya. I'm not complaining mind you. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in lol
Yup, the older truckers called them Mansfield bars for obvious reasons back then. My dad always called them that.
@@hpiguy yes sir. Still quite a few of us old truckers out here. Going on 40 years for me and I'm ready to be done. Doesn't leave much-loved time for family and building but at least I got guys like you to watch. Thanks for all you do and always replying back to me
Funny how you keep blaming the guy on second shift for vehicle damage LOL Awesome job once again Chris!!!
Don't even get me started on the third shift guys!
Nice build. I think these c900 Fords are way cool. I'm going to be one of "those" guys and warn you though that DOT will probably bust you for the red side marker lights at the front of the trailer, so be careful taking this out on the road.
Fingers crossed!
I have a lot of 1:32 scale big rig collectible trucks!!! Do not have one of these only wish I did!!! I have eatten a lot of Hostess snack cakes over the years!!!
I place you in the upper tier of talented model builders.
Some create more intricate models than you,but I have no doubt you could match them.
Speaking from observation and experience
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the nice words. I do this all for FUN!
That's a big Twinkie.
Tell him about the big Twinkie...
What type of pencil did you use for the instrument panel, don't recognize the brand? Thanks for the build.
prismacolor pencils, any hobby lobby, walmart, micheal's has them
I'm after the type as I'm not in the US.
Silver pencil, exactly as shown. Thanks!
Buy whatever you can get ahold of.
Big rear end!? You said a bad word! Lol!
It looks very nice.
Thanks for stopping by!
He says maintenance guy like they actually maintain the equipment. Lol
Grease it and send it on its way!
And The Dutch are Seconden .
Nice build! Do you know where I could buy just the door for the trailer?
Wish u showed how you put the trailor together, i cant get it straight, parts don't seem to fit correctly
I'd like to get this,and make it a tandem axle tractor. Is this the big gas V8 or the V8 diesel? Couldn't tell from the sprue view.
Ok,see now it's the gasser.
Yes, gasoline. Thanks for stopping by!
