The Ford F-Series pickup truck line began with the newly designed F-1, which made its debut in January of 1948. Advertised as the 'Ford Bonus-Built' line, the F-Series featured a new dedicated truck chassis and eight different weight ratings with cab-over, conventional, pickup, panel, and school-bus chassis and body styles available. The F-Series brought with it many advancements including a flat one-piece windshield, wider cabs, improved ventilation, and a long list of available options.
Ford was the only light-duty truck manufacturer to offer V8 power until 1954. The F-1 was also available with Ford's 226 cubic-inch L-head inline six from 1948 that delivered nearly the same output as the V8, followed by the modern overhead valve 215 cubic-inch six-cylinder unit that was available with 101 horsepower from 1952. Many engine and transmission combinations were offered, catering to a wide audience of buyers.
The original F-Series trucks were produced through 1952.
This Ford F-1 Half-Ton was given a high-quality restoration performed under the prior owner. Finished in factory-correct Ford Arabian Green, the truck is equipped with original tan upholstery and rare factory-original options including the heater, defroster, and fresh-air ventilation system. Power is from an overhead valve six 215 cubic-inch engine offering 101 horsepower. There is a 12-volt ignition system, and an original 'Synchro Silent' floor-shift three-speed manual transmission. Other features include period-correct Ford-scripted 6x6 tires and a rare original auxiliary starter crank.
