About the 1953–1956 Ford F-100
from the generation archive
The 1953–1956 Ford F-100, known as the Effie or Bonus-Built F-100, shows up here in every stage of life — from a dark green '56 sitting pretty on pavement to bare cabs on jack stands with windshields pulled and bodywork stripped for restoration. You'll find original blue upholstery and factory dashboards alongside weathered project trucks riding on trailers, rust-claimed bed floors, and tarped '55s waiting for their next chapter.
The story
Learned how to drive in this truck when I was 14. Been driving it in the summer for 16 years. It was completed in '87 or '88 and it age is starting to show. It pretty much needs a full rebuild. The body is still perfect and rust free. — RLP
