The war is over, and the world was ready for a new truck. 1948, Ford introduced us to the F-Series. During the war, Henry Ford shut down all civilian production in order to produce vehicles that would support our troops and allies. When the war ended, Ford began production on a new vehicle that would change the world as we knew it.New Technology for a New Generation — 1950s
1953 came fast, and the F-Series needed a facelift. New engine, new chassis, new interior and more! The F-Series became more spacious, stylish, and sleek. Plus, incredible add-ons like radio, dome lights, arm rests, lighters, and more became available. With such a large update, the name changed too. The F-1 became the F-100, the F-2 and F-3 merged to become the F-250, and the F-4 became the F-350.This Model Was Fire —1960s
The third generation got a modernized redesign. Transitioning into the C-Series, you may recall these tough vehicles being used as fire and delivery trucks. With a fresh look and new purpose this truck was already making its mark on history! Plus, the iconic Twin-I-Beam front suspension made its debut in this generation. This gave the truck a leg up when it comes to maneuverability. With bucket seats from the Mustang, and a newly improved, smooth ride, this truck ruled the ‘60s!The One That Changed Everything — 1970s
