Description of 1954 Ford F-100

Ford F-Series Pickup Trucks: 1953-1956 Ford celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1953. and a revamp of its F-Series trucks was an important part of the year's celebrations. The new look came with revised names. with the F-1 transitioning to F-100 (and F-2 and F-3 trucks following the lead to become F-200 and F-300). F-Series second generation changes went beyond a face lift. Ford put an expanded wheelbase on the trucks. with longer front and rear leaf springs to improve ride quality while still maintaining hauling ability. Truck exteriors were completely redesigned. starting with a large hood that flowed into bulging front fenders. To help with visibility. Ford installed a new windshield with a broader expanse of curved glass. The truck's rear glass was also enlarged. Inside. bench seats became wider. had more adjustment opportunities. better springs and more padding. Ford grouped the instrument cluster. making it a single unit. and relocated switches. bringing them within easier reach. An automatic transmission was added to the 1953 options list. and while many were skeptical of how well an automatic would work in a pickup. Ford’s own testing showed it to be superior to a manual tranny in many situations. Engine choices remained the same in 1953. and buyers could choose either an Overhead Valve 6-cylinder or a Flathead V8. Ford introduced its new Overhead Valve V8 engine in 1954. the culmination of about six years of research and development -- and an engine that laid the groundwork for the future of Ford’s V8 engine program. Now these spectacular Ford pickup trucks are a sought out for their character and curves. They are the perfect canvas to create a Hot Rod. Muscle. Low Rider. or ever the classic restoration. A favorite among many. these gorgeous pickups are rarer and rarer to come across. After the government's “cash for clunkers” so many old classic were crushed and lost to circulation. This beautiful Orange 1954 Ford F-100 is a true little piece of American Ford history. The Ford F-100 was significant to Ford's celebration of their Semi-Centennial. or Jubilee year. Fifty years of American quality and standards. You too could have this celebration of quality and standards. Put yourself behind the wheel of this Ford F-100.
