1948 Ford F-1
1/2Ton Pickup Truck

Model Year History Overview:

1948 marked the first really new post-war truck design. The 1948 which were called “Bonus Built” trucks were all new with a completely re-designed cab. Ford spent a million dollars to design and tool-up for the new cab that was longer, taller and wider than ever. The squared-off fenders and hood and a new one-piece windshield that contributed to a crisp, modern look. The spare was relocated to underneath the box. This model was available with the standard six-cylinder engine or the optional V-8, the faithful flathead producing 100 hp. Ford changed the model numbers of their trucks to F-1 for ½ ton, F-2 for ¾-ton, and F-3 for 1-ton models. Other manufacturers followed suit and this format continues today with the Ford F-150, F-250, etc.
