![]() Check out Wikipedia.com to learn more on the F-1 Ford. ![]() This was the start for the modern Ford half ton pickup truck which is the most successful line in the companies history. RC offered a nicely detailed engine/radiator along with an opening tail gate. This version is from the Mint series.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
If JL owns the tooling for this one, then it TOO should be brought back in the F64 series to complement the other pickups of yesteryear!! |

Nice old truck that is missed. Now if we could get the version from "Sanford and Son"... |

This was a nice casting from RC - I have it in red. I, too, agree - it would be nice to see this one in the lineup again. |

It is a pretty hefty, substantial casting. JL has it's own old Ford F-1, so I wouldn't hold my breath about seeing the bigger (read: more metal, more cost) RC version brought over to the JL line - even if the JL line was still on track, full-steam. This nice casting is not one of the more desireable Racing Champions castings for some reason, so these can be found second-hand, fairly reasonably priced, with some patience. I wouldn't expect to see this casting re-issued, so I'd recommend looking around for the old Mint Editions. |
