1954 Ford Truck VIN Information
Few things changed for the 54 F100. Basic changes to the 1954 F100 included a redesigned grille and other minor trim changes including a few new paint colors. The most notable change on the 54 F100 occurred in the engine compartment. Flathead V8 engines were gone. Two new overhead valve engines were available. 54 F100 engines were slightly larger. Available engines were: 223 Straight 6, 239 V8 and 256 V8. Otherwise the 1954 F100 was a repeat of the 53. No reason to change much on a great truck!
