1950 Ford F1

Prior to the War, trucks were very much a customized idea mostly built by carriage companies outside of the manufacturers including suspension, length of frame and more to get these vehicles capable enough for the job at hand. The trucks that did come from the factory from Ford were built off the same chassis that their cars were built on which restricted the amount of space to work with as well as the capability. The first-generation Ford F-Series was introduced in 1948 and was the first post-war truck design that Ford had created. This was very unique for the company as they broke off from using their car chassis and opted for a dedicated truck platform. This proved to be a very good move for the company as it went on to be more capable and gave many options to broaden the utilitarian purpose of their vehicle. From the F-1 all the way to their F-8, these trucks came with different engine choices, bed lengths, weight ratings and purposes such as a parcel truck or school bus.
