The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks marketed and manufactured by Ford since the 1948 model year. The F-Series is marketed as a range of full-sized pickup trucks positioned above the midsize Ranger but below the larger Super Duty in the Ford truck lineup.[1] Alongside the F-150 (introduced in 1975), the F-Series also includes the Super Duty series (introduced in 1999), which includes the heavier-duty F-250 through F-450 pickups, F-450/F-550 chassis cabs, and F-600/F-650/F-750 Class 6-8 commercial trucks.
The fourth generation of the Ford F-Series is a line of trucks produced by Ford from the 1961 to 1966 model years. Introducing a lower and wider cab over the previous generation, Ford introduced several design changes to the model line. In line with modern pickup trucks, the bed sides, hood line, and window sill were all the same height. Ford returned the F-Series to two headlights (a design change that remained in place for over 50 years).
Several design configurations were introduced by this generation. The F-Series panel van was discontinued (replaced by the Ford Econoline) and Ford introduced the "integrated pickup" for 1961.[3] In line with the car-based Ford Ranchero, the Styleside configuration welded the cab and bed body stampings together (removing the gap between the two).[3] After 1963, "integrated pickups" were no more.[3] For 1965, the model line underwent a substantial revision, introducing chassis and cab that would be used by the F-Series through 1979. Alongside the debut of the four-door crew cab configuration, the long-running "Twin I-Beam" independent front suspension and 300 cubic-inch inline-6 were both introduced.[4] Taken from the defunct Edsel brand, the Ford Ranger nameplate made its first appearance.
The model line was assembled by Ford across multiple facilities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico; the model line was also assembled by Ford Argentina. In Canada, the F-Series was again sold as the Mercury M-Series.
Due to poor market reception, and rumors that overloading caused the doors to jam shut, the unibody trucks were dropped midway through the 1963 model year. The 1961/64 models have the turn signals in the grill. 1964 models received an all-new Styleside bed with more modern styling as well as a longer wheelbase on two-wheel-drive trucks while short beds and 4x4 retained the earlier wheelbases. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I wish they would bring out in 1966 Dodge pick up model kit. They've put out plenty of Ford's, and Chevy's in the past, but the only Dodge kidts that we seem to get, When it comes to trucks, has been the 1977, or the 2000's trucks.
They had a badass dodge four wheel drive 76 model back then. Long bed also
Promotional models of the 60s dodge trucks are around.
@@ThomasSmith-fz6wqno such thing! Only dodge pickups are the 1960’s dodge A100 (Little Red Wagon),the 1971-1981 Dodge pickup kits and the 1994+ Dodge Ram kits
Amen,I'm a dodge guy and wish they would build a 60s dodge truck besides the A100, they.would sell MILLIONS, Any model.companies watching this???
Awesome kit, and a wonderful build. Happy guys workshop. I always thought it stood for the Hippie guys workshop 😂😂😂. Either way. I Love this channel. Happy Building.
I can’t wait until our dealer gets this kit in
The "Unibody" Ford pick up. No more squeeky bed or twisting between cab and bed. Nice truck.
Great build. Again the color looks good.
Thanks for sharing...
Actually, the reason unibody was discontinued was that the underbody twisted and flexed under loads and more damage was resulting to the body panels.
BIG BONUS -
Cloth seat cover ! ! !
I like the way you did the bench seat. Looks neat with the cloth seat. This is a different looking camper top.
Nicely built Chris like the 2 tones inside and out super clean
I own a 1961 F100. Bought it in 1976. It's a long bed Integral Cab. That was the Ford term for what those who don't know call a unibody. Mine is the small rear window, which was more common than the big window that AMT did in the kit. I prefer the smaller window anyway. With the small window, no chrome trim on the side. If you have the big window and the side trim, most I've seen the center of the trim is painted bright red. Regardless of body color. My best friend had a '63 Styleside shortbed. That had the separate bed which was the same as the bed on a '57-60 F100. My '61 came with a 292 Y Block V8 engine with a 3 on the tree manual trans as in the kit. The 292 factory paint is Ford Engine Red. Including valve covers. The 3 speed manual is iron case painted black. But when that died with 275K miles on the engine in the late 70s, I couldn't find any parts to rebuild it. I was checking with early T-Bird restorers. Calling around the country on long distance phone calls then was quite expensive. No internet. These days you can call China for the same cost as calling down the street. Those guys told me ,"No, we don't have engine parts, but if you find some, we'll pay you a finder's fee." After hearing that a few times, I gave up and turned to a later model engine. I was going to go with a 351W and bought one, but since I intended to use it to tow my offroad race buggy, I wanted the beefier C6 auto trans. Couldn't find any small block C6s. Only C4s. So I bought a 390 with a cam, an Edelbrock intake and an AFB carb (now sold as an Edelbrock) with headers and a C6. Now 45 years later I live 75 miles away from where I did then, the wrecking yard guy lives around the corner and his wife does my wife's nails. Small world sometimes. Many years later, that 390 was worn out and I replaced it with a 428 Cobra Jet out of a '70 Cougar Eliminator that was crashed. Got it from the same wrecking yard guy. When I swapped in the 390, I repainted the F100 in the original Aquamarine and put on a set of US Mags aluminum slot mag wheels. It's way overdue for another rebuild now. The 428 sounds like the pistons are trying to swap holes and the paint is developing a patina. I have a built AMT 61 F100 in my display case, but it doesn't represent the truck parked outside. I intend to take the grille from that and build this new '63 into my '61 with a 428 CJ and C6 from a 67 Fairlane kit.
Wow love this kit, wish they would bring out a early 60s Dodge pickup, they would sell millions. This kit has a great decals sheet.
Very nice Christopher
I remember finding old polaroids of my dads 62/63 F100 Shortbed back in the 70s, it was a brown an black two tone with gold trim, had a awesome rake, chrome steelies an wide treaded tries in the back.
Looks to me like that camper top would be a popup with a canvas extension.
Very nicely done on that old '63 F100! That supercharged V8 looks awesome! Love the weathering and that seat cover!
Very nice!
Ordered mine yesterday, along with the Cadillac ambulance, 2 1960 Ford pick ups and a heap of others. 👍
Have both kits coming soon!
I just bought the 1960 Ford f100. And the 1963 Ford f100
Happy guys work bench. I’ve been wondering about that lol. Great videos Chris. You do great unboxings and build demonstrations. Take care n see you next time.
The finished build is absolutely amazing Chris nice paint job and as always thanks for the time you invest for us 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic work Chris! Another kit on my list to purchase this year.
One comment I have on your build methods. I don't use primer on models unless I'm trying to cover molded in color plastic, or bodywork and filler. In fact I plan to primer my 40 Willys pickup later today. I cut the backs of the fenders off the cab and attached them to the tilt front clip so putty was involved. But otherwise I don't use primer. It makes the overall paint substantially thicker and often needs sanding to smooth it out before painting, which risks detail loss. I notice you even prime interior and chassis pieces before painting. Even in the 1960s spray paint or airbrushed bottled paints adhere really well to styrene with no need for primer. But your builds come out really clean, so don't think I'm saying you're wrong to primer. But for newbies, know that it's not necessary unless there's putty or molded in color you're trying to cover.
You can make this into a 1964 model even though they were not offered. You simply connect the upper and middle grille tabs with chrome paint. Likewise with the middle and lower grille tabs. Easy!
That headlight bucket chrome trick was genius!
Truly amazing and creative 10/10
Very nice. I can't wait to get one, I have some ideas on what to build for the kit. Nice review and video, keep up the great work. Have a great day.
Nice job Chris! Thanks Round2 for releasing this kit! Hope they come back in stock soon can’t wait to build these latest trucks. 😎
I would like to see the camper top a little more colorful. Maybe a simple paint swoosh or stripe. Also the camper top needs to have a decal of the US with the states colored in where it has traveled. And bumpers stickers all over, visit wall drug, see Yellowstone, etc. maybe a nice whip antenna and a roof rack on the camper. Lots of room to embellish.
Haven't seen you do one of these patinated trucks for a while - they are a nice diversion from the factory fresh or freshly restored ones, and I think the supercharger is a good idea to cope with the extra weight of the camper shell.
Cool kit! Weathering again is perfect, love how you did the front bumper.
Chris You did a great job weathering it Looks Great 👍👍
Back in the early part of the 2000 I used to run a 1980 Ford F100. That was a damn tough truck.
I can't wait to get my hands on all these new and reissued kits. My wallets gonna be thin.
Great work as always Chris. I like the colors and how you made it look like it's been bet up.
glad to see this un it goes along with the Moeibus kits good to see they chose the "Unibody" version as they did when the fit was issued in the sixties not sure(its been 60 years ago) but I remember correctly the "Unibody" was kinda a rarity????(dont beat me if I am wrong I cant remember lots of things from 60 years ago) I had an original kit that I painted with Pactra "self-leveling" paint(after all the bottle only cost 25 cents and the spray paint cost 69 cents) anyway I brush painted the kit and then thinned the paint Beverly and went over it again and if I remember correctly I had a pretty smooth glossy finish gonna have to get a few of these kits also gonna try your weathering process great build
I really like the bench seat treatment. My dad had a Chey Scottsdale that had a similar treatment in browns, tans, and yellow on the seats. Awesome detail also. GREAT Job!!
1973 to 1987 Chevrolet long bed 4x4 would be a great kit
The interior looks great
Ford. F1000. Camper. Pickup.
It looks like "An Overgrown Ranchero" being a Unibody pick-up truck
The engine colors are awesome
Great build! That pickup is a great candidate for a 427 SOHC / 4 speed with big & little Torque Thrusts or Chragers.
Thanks for sharing! Hope to get one soon.
Nice touch with the cloth on the seat I'll have to give it a try 👍🏻👌
Would've thought they'd make an interior for the camper. Or at least some bed structures. I'm not saying that the kit is bad or anything of that sort, just that I assumed they'd put an interior in that camper box.
Nice build as always.
That would be nice - maybe the 3D printers or resin casters may come up with something along those lines.
Pretty easy to scratch build an interior. I plan on it. Easy shapes. Would have been nice but kit cost would go up
@@kevinjones7171 Dunno how prices go in your part of the world, but here, all of Revell and AMT's kits have gone up to the point they cost as much as Tamiya, Aoshima and Fujimi kits, which are roughly the same price they always were. So, for the price raise, I expect them to put everything they can in the kit.
Wel that might be nice for a slide in camper. But this represents a fiberglass camper shell. Not a full camper. It aint for glamping. It's for roughing it. No cabinets. No stove. No toilet/shower. No table. No dinette. So you might add a thin mattress up in the cabover and some carpet on the bed floor with some camping supplies, like a lantern, a Coleman folding stove, a rolled up sleeping bag or 2, a vintage ice chest, a couple folding chairs and maybe a couple of paper bags with food peeking out the top like a loaf of bread, a bag of chips and any other groceries you might take camping. A couple of rifles as included in the MPC gangster cars would be good.
Great build, Chris!!!!!!!
Nice 😅
really like ur stories!
I love this truck. Thanks for the review I,m buying 2 2:39 2:43 of them and the 60 model whenever they Re available....Patrick Bailey whenever they,re
Nice build👍
very nice job chris love the red paint and the burlap efect on the seat cover sweet
A Ford based FarmTruck with that supercharger!
Very nice my friend looks awesome
It still disappoints me that Round2 did not include a 292 or an I-6 production engine instead of 2 modified motors.
Appreciate that they included the F-O-R-D letter decals for the tailgate though.
Very nice work. I really like your color choices. Nice afghan on the seat. Just like the ‘60, I don’t like the molded in exhaust, driveshaft, and the rear differential, but I’ll probably buy one. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work on the kit!!! Your skills are outstanding.... However, you put the rear bumper on upside down!
I was hoping you would be building this !! I like that camper top. That would be useful on my truck .
I have mine on order
I really like this
It made me immediately think of kit bashing with the 60 Ford
Would that camper fit on the 60
Could you put the trailer behind this one
I could see either one as the push truck with the camper in the back and the trailer behind with all the race parts
I wish the included bubble was yellow instead of red as yellow as the color most used for push trucks and roadside service
But again that camper on either truck with the rails put on it and that trailer full of parts behind that would be an ultimate salt racer or dirt track racer setup even drag racing
I do enjoy your builds hopefully you'll take some of my ideas and use them the next time you get the chance
Been awhile since I’ve seen you do a minor weathering build.
I'm in wisconsin!!!! Are you too?
I’m hoping to get my 60 & 63 F100’s any day from Model Roundup, I ordered and paid for them January 2nd, been on back order since then but I’m sure they’ll get them to me, I ain’t fretting, they never let me down. Anywho, good deal Hoss, as always!
Just checked on my order. I ordered it on October 12th. Still says back ordered. Lol
@@jasongriffin8849 - yeah I checked mine yesterday, and it says on back order too, geez, I ain’t had any problems with Model Roundup, no backorders or anything, they start this stuff I’ll never order anything from them again, I won’t put up with all that, you know?
With that soppercharged V8 that truck would make a good sleeper
Seem that model came out in mid 60's
Chris the building machine! What a neat kit! Got a question how would a person get in that sleeper area above the cab? 😳🤔I don’t recall ever seeing a bed capper like this one !That truck has a cool crusty look! Nice job & thanks for what you do for the beginner modelers! Kinda wish we had this years ago! 🫠🤔🫡🇺🇸
Well, now I have seen a good use for an antique ash tray. Where every did you come across that one?
I gotta ask. What is that gel pen that you use on the valve covers?
My sharpys never work as good as yours
Is that Testors liquid cement in the clear bottle you're using?
What kind of glue do you use?
👍👍
I could be wrong but I own a 1961 Unibody and I thought Ford only made them in 1961 and '62
Im still trying for figure out that topper camper. anyone know what kind it is
What glu are u using
It is possible that your rear bumper is upside down
Yes it would be nice if AMT did a whole new tool of the chassis for this truck. But the kit is 60 years old. It's a re-release. Like a number of other kits of 1960s cars that are being re-released recently. The 1960 F100 is another example of this. If you compare them to kits of Chevies released since 1990, they suffer in the comparison. Unless you compare the AMT '91 GMC 3500 Extended cab dually with 1 piece chassis. Or the '90s 3500 Dodge with 1 piece chassis. Or the Chevy C10s 1967 to '72 with 1 piece chassis. Why do I see more complaining about the Ford kits than I do about the Chevy kits? I also don't see complaints about Tamiya, Aoshima, Fujimi, Hasegawa kits? I have recent issues of BMW 320i Turbo, Celica Liftback Turbo and others with simplistic chassis. I want detailed chassis and engine in my models. But sometimes you take what you can get.
Anybody have any ideas on how to remove paint off a body rather then sand it off?
Lots of strong degreasers will take most paint off. Purple Power/Super Clean from the automotive department at Walmart has these. Many modelers fill a Rubbermaid plastic container with this and call it the purple pond. LA's Totally Awesome too. Just use a plastic tub big enough to dunk the body shell and fill it full enough to cover the body. Soak for 1/2 hour or several days until the paint comes off. Will take off lots of chrome plating too. Oven cleaner, or brake fluid also work. All of these will rinse off with water. Such tricks are often mentioned in model builder's CZcams channels. I would refer you to some, but CZcams will ban me for a while again if I do.
Thanks for the info I appreciate it
These model companies need to stop with the molded suspensions n exhaust..
That was a one year only truck
If you were referring to being a unibody, they were made for 3 years.
Ford built the Integral Cab for the 1961, '62 and '63 model years. And so did AMT.
Great build Chris. Fortunately your truck will outlast the real unibodies. Totally a failure in manufacturing, a short lived one at that.
Read my comment about0p my '61. It has about 3/4 of a million miles on it. I still see others like it around. Mine has been used for drag racing, hauling wood on a lumber rack and in the bed when working as a carpenter, steel when working as a fabricator, dirt bikes when racing AMA Desert, towing my offroad race car to Desert races in California, Nevada, Arizona and Baja. Thousands of miles of offroad and rough dirt roads with a load. It's carried a camper until the siding is coming off the camper. 1,000lb pallet boxes of plastic resin, sand, gravel and other construction materials. The only drawback I see to the design is a need to do a little extra maintenance to keep the door latches adjusted properly when working the truck hard offroad. When I bought it in the mid 70s, I looked at all brands of pickups and most of the Chevy and GMC trucks of a similar age had bent frames. My friend's 64 Chevy panel truck has always had issues with keeping the door latches adjusted too, but it has never seen a dirt road in its life. Nor has it carried much load inside, although it has many miles behind it towing race cars. My unibody (as thode who don't know call them) has worked well for me. That's why I've kept it nearly 50 years.
