1960 Ford F-100
Blocky, chunky styling defines this final-year pickup before Ford’s 1961 redesign. The 1960 F-100 featured a new grille with integrated parking lamps, while a pair of slotted nostrils were punched into the front edge of the hood. The Ford gear-and-lightning hood insignia replaced the previous year’s F-O-R-D letters.
A wide clamshell hood capped the front fenders rather than fitting between them, and steps mounted inside the cab created a cleaner profile. The modern Styleside box came standard with a steel floor and slab sides in 6.5-foot or 8-foot lengths, though the traditional Flareside with bolted-on fenders remained available.
Under the hood, buyers could choose between a 223 cubic inch straight-six producing 139 horsepower or the 292 cubic inch V8 rated at 160 horsepower. The 1960 model also received revised rocker covers, improved cooling, and a stronger rear main seal. Factory four-wheel drive had first become available in 1959.
