1963 Ford Pickup mild Custom


Recommended Posts

This is one of only a couple of "customs" I have in my collection. An AMT 1963 Ford Custom Cab pickup. I kept it relatively simple & did an "old school" type build. The engine is the original tri-carb motor that came with the kit with a few added details. The interior is pretty much bone stock. I just added a gear shift and plaid decals to the seats. The side trim has been removed from the body & a pinstripe added in the secondary color of '59 Pontiac "Cameo Coral". Tha body was painted Ford "Wimbeldon White" as well as the grille & bumpers. A real wood bed, a set of wide whites with painted stealies and inner trim rings & some custom side exhaust dumps round out the package. This Ford Still stands as one of my favorite builds. I had a great time building this one! :)

That's a cool looking old truck Steven! I like the colors on it. The plaid decal on the seat is a cool touch. I just recently finished up a '61 and a '60 back in December and have a '62 that's stripped and waiting it's turn. I love the old uni body Ford pickups!

Where did you source your plaid decal from? I would like to try one on my '62 since it has a similar seat in it.
