PIC - Durham Classics heavy white metal '53 Ford F-100 $52
I went on eBay to look for the '53 Ford that Ken pictured and came up with a listing for the Durham Classics' version. A vendor from Ontario, Canada has 2 remaining of 8 for sale. Looks like a liquidation of some sorts. If you don't mind the lesser level of detail on this white metal handbuilt, which is much more rare than the many diecasts, it would make an interesting addition to your collection at a low tariff. Durhams are known for their proportional accuracy and paintwork. This little beast will probably weigh a pound!
Here's the link to the auction:

Great detail, proportions and stance. Very nice!

I have both Road Chanps, doubtful they are based on these.
These look like partworks models, not genuine Ixos (note lack of plated door handles). But the Ford looks a lot like the "Forest Gump" movie version that just came out from Greenlight. And the Chevy looks like that Motor City Classics Coke truck. You know, the company whose products always clutter up ebay when you search for real MOCs!
There's a side view of the Ford on ebay. Definite bend between the cab and bed but this could be fettled with to make it look right.

Beautiful like all Durhams - a pity they're out of production for the time being...

And on '51 Ford pickups there is one out by Greenlight as a replica of the Forest Gump truck. Primer color, no tailgate and well weathered. And another version is planned with a tailgate from some other movie as I recall.

Chevrolet 3800 is from Brazilian Chevrolet Collection.
Manufactured by IXO do Salvat:
The Ford F1 is from another series, Carros Inesquec?veis do Brasil by IXO to Planeta DeAgostini but it looks to be a still to be released issue being sold from China. It happens several times...

Thanks Sergio. I purchased both from China and received confirmation that both had been shipped.
