mk11 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Since Round2 has been induced to reintroduce the classic AMT 1960 F100 pickup kit (thank you Mr Goldman) it seemed to be a good time to throw in some pics and details of this whole generation of Ford trucks to help inspire some creative building. 1957 1958 1959 1960 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chryslerjunkandstuff Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Yeah, I'll be grabbing up a couple of these kits for sure.. 1957 F-350 wrecker 1959 F-100 And as cool as these Fords are, I really dig the Mercury M-Series versions.. I can't be the only one who's going to build one of these kits as a Mercury.. 1957 M-100 1957 M-350 1959 M-100 1959 M-100 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen both the '59 and '60 model year being attributed to one of those trucks in the SAME paragraph! Lol..the internet.. I was only sure of one thing, and that is that they sure were cool lookin!

Rob Hall Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Those are really good looking old trucks..I think I've only seen maybe a half dozen '57-60 Ford pickups in my lifetime..that panel truck would be neat also (maybe a resin caster or 3D crafter will offer one).

espo Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 These pictures show a lot of great ideas for future builds when this kit hits the market. I was already liking the idea of this being reissued, now I'm really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Very close to these kits hitting the shelves now! I'm excited about the '60 kit in particular because of the possibilities of completely different build opportunities. I confident the aftermarket will kick with the '57-59 variations when they see these kits fly off the shelves. F500-F 600 variations require front fender to be enlarged. Hopefull Dan-Cip models of Romania will do extra heavy "Super Duty" version ( auto haulaway photo), in the same high quality of their '60's heavy F and N series offerings.

Bainford Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Yes, I hope the aftermarket kicks in. I'd love to build a '57, and I'd love to build a panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
