Vehicle Description
The F-Series traces its origin to 1948. This was the first post-war
truck that Ford produced. The model represented Ford's break from
the car chassis to a new and dedicated truck platform. The models
were assembled at 16 different factories. The first generation of
the F-Series models production run continued through to 1952.The
truck featured a Million Dollar Cab (it cost $1 million to design
and tool). Ford said it had Living-Room comfort, and it was much
higher and wider than before, and better fitted. Styling was
classier and cleaner, and the Ford six and V-8 engines were
available.The 1951 Ford pickup also introduced a new front end. The
smiling horizontal-bar grille and inboard headlamps were gone,
replaced by a single-bar grille with three massive teeth. Along
with a wraparound front bumper, this gave Ford trucks a more
aggressive frontal appearance.Fenders of the 1951 Ford pickup were
revised to house this new grille-work, and headlamps moved farther
outboard. Being somewhat taller, those fenders allowed the hood to
adopt a flatter, more modern appearance.Ford accentuated this
smoother look with a low air scoop in the lower front of the hood,
replacing the high nostrils of the 1948-1950 design.Equipment:350
