1959 Ford C1000

[Chuck Most]

This is the AMT kit, backdated from the kit 1971-ish specs by adding quad headlights, grille mounted parking lights, moving the turn signals from the cowl to the door, and reducing the cab mounted clearance lights by 60%. Those last two aren't 1959 specific but I did it anyway. I also removed the door emblems, I may or may not seek out some era specific replacements.

To replicate the heavier duty 1000 model, I modified MPC Mack six spoke wheels and used AMT Autocar Firestone floats up front, and the standard Ertl Goodyears out back.

Paint is leftover satin Moss Green from the Dodge garbage truck.

Nice backdating work for the late 50's look. Front tires fill up the wheel well nicely! Ford's original turbine truck was a '59 C series.  Ford CT-1100 Gas Turbine Truck Tractor - National Museum of Transportation (tnmot.org)
