Ford F-10 Specifications

Ford F-series third and fourth generation trucks were built in Brazil between 1957 and 1966. Both the third and fourth generation designs were derived from the basic F-10, which was first created in 1952. The new names given to these successive generations were F-100 (built in 1953) and F-250 (in 1961). The F-10 has a hood flush to the chrome fenders as explained by Car Seek, a new chrome grille and its traditional separate fender body design became known as "flare-side."

Weight
The F-10 weighs half a ton without cargo. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. GVWR is the maximum allowable total mass of the vehicle when loaded, including the weight of the vehicle, the fuel, passengers and trailer weight, as described by Hoffman White.
Body Style
The F-10 is a two-door pick-up truck with en enclosed cabin and a rear loading section for cargo. The fourth generation F-10, built between 1961 and 1966, has a two-door and a four-door option. The 1961 re-style brought single headlights back to the design and also a lower, wider cab, as reported by Edmunds.
Third Generation Engine
Three different engines are available for third generation F-10 trucks, depending on the year of manufacture: the 1958 to 1960 has 223 cubic inches of displacement (CID), or 3.7L, Mileage Maker I6; the 1958 has 272 CID (4.5L) Y-Block V8; and the 1959 to 1960 has 292 CID (4.8L) Y-Block V8. Each engine has a horse power of 137hp (102kW), 173hp (129kW) and 186hp (139kW), respectively. CID is the cubic inch displacement that all the pistons sweep in a single turnover of the engine. It represents the engine's capacity and power; the higher the displacement, the more powerful and efficient the engine.
Fourth Generation Engine
Fourth generation F-10 trucks can have five different engines: the 1961 to 1964 223 CID (3.7L) Mileage Maker I6; the 1961 to 1964 292 CID (4.8L) Y-Block V8; the 1965 to 1966 240 CID (3.9L) I6; the 1965 to 1966 300 CID (4.9L) I6; and the 1965 to 1966 352 CID (5.8L) FE V8. Each engine has a horse power of 114hp (85kW), 135hp (101kW), 150hp (110kW), 170hp (130kW) and 172hp (128kW), respectively.
Drive and Build
The F-10 truck is a two-wheel drive vehicle. The 1-Beam axle is tough, according to Ford Truk. Beginning in 1964, the Ford pick-up had a 128 inch wheel-base, which continued to be included in the design until 1988. The 1964 version also has an impressive 38 pounds of insulation to muffle road noise and increase the comfort of the driver and passengers.
