Built series, Ford introduced an overhead-valve 215-cid
six-cylinder engine, rated at 101 horsepower. The flathead V-8,
still at 239-cid, got a bump in compression ratio, increasing
output to 106 horsepower. Hood trim was revamped, and front grille
color was changed from silver to white, This one has the color
matched with Chrome. The first F-Series truck (known as the Ford
Bonus-Built) was introduced in 1948 as a replacement for the
previous car-based pickup line introduced in 1941. It had a flat,
one-piece windshield and integrated headlamps.It had a wider
cab.Options included the 'See-Clear' windshield washer (operated by
foot plunger), passenger-side windshield wiper & sun visor, and
passenger-side taillight. Design of the F-Series truck changed
tremendously from 1950 to 1954. From 1948 to 1950, the grill was a
series of horizontal bars and the headlights were set into the
fenders. For 1951 and 1952, the headlights were connected by a wide
aerodynamic cross piece with three similarly aerodynamic supports.
The rear window was wider in the later trucks and the dashboard was
redesigned. F-Series trucks were assembled at sixteen different
Ford factories. Please contact Kennith Stewart at 803-283-7289 for
